Some people choose to go the extra mile when it comes to their [Halloween costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx) and these star contact lenses fall in that category. At least, for those who don't often wear contact lenses, let alone ones for purely decorative measures. Taking on a bright white star pattern, they bring a whimsical touch to fantasy characters including sorcerers, elves and more.

Created by CamoEyes, the star contact lenses are subtle while still making a statement. Complemented by a blue iris, the star contact lenses are non-prescription and last up to 90 days once opened. This will allow costume enthusiasts to use them again, perhaps at a [cosplay event](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animeinspired-glasses) or even another party for a birthday or the holidays.
