Wearing [colored contacts as an accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenskart) has become a fairly mainstream global fashion phenomenon. Everyone from [caucasian celebrities like Paris Hilton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shenseea) (who actually has brown eyes but wears blue lenses every time she's in the public eye) to those of ethnicities dominated by darker eyes like Asians, are seen wearing them. More extreme varieties, however, let individuals express their quirkiest sides, and can get pretty outrageous. Check with your eye doctor to make sure you can wear these safely. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Leaders](https://www.trendhunter.com/leaders) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Crazy Contact Lenses:** Opportunity for novelty, fashion and cosplay eyewear revolution. - **Colored Contacts Mainstreaming:** Potential for diverse and inclusive cosmetic lenses market growth. - **Eye Art:** Innovation possibility for personalized and creative lens designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Cosmetics and Beauty:** Cosmetic contact lenses market development through diversity and inclusion. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Collaboration opportunity for novelty contact lens designs in cosplay and fashion merchandise. - **Healthcare and Optometry:** Potential of personalized and creative lens designs and innovation with advanced technology and safety standards. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glitter-Colored Contact Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairy-1-day.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Glasses Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/owndays.md) - [Luxe Cartoon Cat Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanvin-en-bleu.md) - [Celebrity-Inspired Cartoon Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katy-perry-1.md) - [Hydrogel Daily Contact Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrogel-lenses.md) - [Cartoon-Honoring High Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-heel.md) - [Extra-Breathable Contact Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyhy-by-hubble.md) - [Chic Statement Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specsavers-eyewear.md) - [Spiralled Shape Contact Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiral-diopter.md)
