Hey everyone! I just wanted to jump on here and share my experience using EyeCandys for colored contacts! For reference, I’ve been cosplaying for 13 years and have tried a number of different colored contacts vendors over the years.
I was sent a few pairs to try out, pictures are attached. I do have a prescription, so they were able to match it with all 3 pairs!
The biggest details I was looking out for was visibility, pigment, and comfort. So here are my thoughts on this:
Visibility: Again, I have a prescription, and they were able to match it. After putting each pair on, I could see pretty well and my eyes adjusted to each one easily. No issues here on this. 9/10
Pigment: I have dark brown eyes, so the color showing up on my eyes well is important for me! The gray and green contacts were very pigmented and showed up on my eyes easily, so I was happy with that! The turquoise green contacts weren’t as pigmented as I expected, but they did show up well in some lightings! 7/10
Comfort: Since I do a lot of photoshoots, content creation, and attend cons, comfort was probably the biggest concern I had, as I have had a number of previous pairs of contacts that I could barely go half the day with. (I am aware these are cosmetic contacts and aren’t meant to be worn all the time— I only wear these to cosplay!) Upon trying all of these on, I noticed a big difference in how they felt in my eyes. They were not irritating or making my eye feel tired at all, which is great! I also did a long photoshoot day and one con day in turquoise green pair, and they did not bother me at all. Like it almost felt like I had my normal contacts in! 10/10
So if you’re looking for comfortable contacts, EyeCandys may be the one for you! I do recommend trying this brand out if you’re looking to try some new contacts out. They have both “natural” looking and “costume” looking options on their website.
Thanks for reading! I hope this helps out fellow cosplayers 😄
(NOTE: some pics are screenshotted from the video review I made on these, apologies if they’re not as good of quality!)

They look so lovely! Can I ask, did they stay in place? What I mean is last time I tried another asian cosmetic contact brand, when I put it in, it would move every time I blinked, kinda sticking to my eyelid and going up with it. It wouldn’t stay on my iris. Looked real funky and felt terrible. Do these NOT do that?
