With the trove of designs and colors to choose from, your cosplay options are practically limitless. It helps to narrow down your search for the perfect pair of lenses by thinking about what type of character you want to play. Even if you don't have a particular character in mind, brainstorming your favorite looks will help you land on the perfect theme and ensemble to go with it. Once you have that all worked out, picking out the right contacts will be a no-brainer.
Blue anime contacts are perfect for bright-eyed characters with the spirit of adventure in their hearing, for example, Nagisa Shiota from Assassination Classroom, Yato from Noragami, or Ciel Phantomhive from Black Butler. It's hard not to look adorable when your electric blue eyes are radiating anime style. Whether you're playing a winged cloud being of the sky or a mystical wood elf, blue lenses can help give you that magical glow.
Red anime contacts are great for conveying a fiery passion - or a proclivity for evil, for example. You can wear red contacts for cosplay Itachi, Sabastian, Shana, or Yukihira Soma. The color red implies some form of intensity, which doesn't always necessarily have to be evil. Depending on the rest of your outfit, a pair of red lenses might simply give your character a unique feature that pulls the rest of the costume and accessories together. It is fun, though, to experiment with giving your heroic character a baddie edge with glistening crimson eyes.
Green anime contacts are a highly versatile category; many of them are great for all-purpose situations, but there are certainly some that were designed with a specific character type in mind. For alien characters, green is one of the go-to colors of choice, even when it comes to the eyes. Green lenses are also great for plant-human hybrid characters - or many other types of character creations that aren't quite human - because they create the sense that something different is happening behind those eyes to make them look the way they do, such as Eren Jaeger, Izuku Midoriya, Saber, or Tatsumaki.
