With All Hallows' coming on apace, I got to thinking about fakey colored and crazy special effects contacts. I went through a phase where I had, alternately, violet, hazel, and dark blue eyes, and while it was fun, the people around me didn't seem to think it was as awesome as I did. I've even worn special effects contacts (they were cat's eyes for Halloween) and I thought they were pretty fun.

On the off chance that anime contact lenses aren't avant-garde enough for you, this should fit the bill. Dutch designer Eric Klarenbeek has created contacts that give the appearance of crying. The crystal "tears" are attached to the contact by a thin wire, and due to interest from Klarenbeek's prototype, you'll soon be able to purchase a pair for about $270.

Rumer has it — it being contact lenses, that is. While they're not as extreme as this unusual style, the blue lens are a departure from her natural hazel eyes. Without a doubt, I love her hair shorter more than longer — but which eye color do you think flatters her more?

Even if you went to Comic Con and have a lifetime obsession with J-Pop, you'll probably still do a double-take at these contact lenses.
These "extra-wide" versions mimic the large-eyed look of anime heroines such as Sailor Moon, and they're becoming a trend in parts of Asia. A Korean company, DueBa, manufactures many of them, which sell for about $50 per pair.

When I first saw the packaging on Eyliplex-2 ($39.50) I thought it was a giant contact lens travel case, but as it turns out, it is a dual sided container that houses a fast acting eye day gel on one side and an eye night balm on the other. Eye care has never looked so cute!
The concept behind this creation is to deliver an around the clock system for eye care in one product.

New from Peter Thomas Roth is Un-Wrinkle Eye ($100). This powerful product targets fine lines and wrinkles around your eye area using a man-made ingredient called SYN-AKE which simulates the effects of poisonous snake venom. Yeppers, you read that right, snake venom—more specifically, Temple Viper venom, which Gwyneth is rumored to use.

This new Long-Wear Cream Shadow from Bobbi Brown is awesome. It goes on really easily and does not crease throughout the day.
It comes in 12 different colors which can be mixed and matched, including Ballet Pink (shown below) and hot Fall color, Sandy Gold.
