o.0 Wow...
That's... intense. And funny. I'd want contacts like that, but then it'd look like I have scalera(sp?) contacts on and won't look so very pretty...

But haha, that's hilarious. xD

QuoteBut then why must some characters wear glasses? A fashion accessory?
Because of potential moe of course.

That's a really funny ad. XD
I don't think I've ever seen contacts with sparkles before though.

Lol. Cute I guess. -.-;

Lelouch looks scary.
But they got it wrong. The other eye is supposed to be a different color. D:

Actually, there have been contact lenses like this for a long time. It's been a trend from Korea, then the rest of Asia for a while now. I had a pair, but only wore them once since I suck at putting on contacts... but my eyes are already naturally big. A trait I am quite proud of, as an Asian. :3

Also, Specialty contacts have been used in movies for many years.

Is it just me or is that a difference between pre-makeup and post-makeup?

Not entirely. That's make-up AND the contacts.

Wow. Makeup and contacts sure can make a huge difference.

However, it also looks like she lost a bit of weight and got a tan. (and dyed her hair)
I assume that is the same girl. Did she do something to her nose? O.o?

-.-; I wonder if some of us caucasians would look better with those contact lenses. -.-;
It might make me tempted if it also blocked enough UV so I could actually open my eyes fully outside without being blinded. Being light sensitive is rather annoying.

Acuvue soft contacts packages say they do (did) have UV protection (but I haven't worn them in a while thou).

I have seen thoes kinds of contacts in the Gothic and Lolita bibles along with CURE and SHOXX magazines. They are pretty...pretty expensive!


http://www.clipjoint-j.com/shop/contact/color-kira.html an example of the big eye thing

But thoes kind I think have a fun decal on the contact to make it look like your eyes are sparkling or appear souless. along with the usual designs of Union Jack flags and neon color contacts.

>: I wish I had a accenting pair to make my eyes sparkle

http://www.clipjoint-j.com/index.html thats one of the companies that I found in the gothic lolita bibles

This site documents an entire transformation from plain-looking girl to Super Sparkly Pretty Pop Music Idol, it's really quite scary.

http://yutakis.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/transformer/

She uses those contacts too, and there's a link to a much bigger gallery of them.

If you're scared of that, NEVER look up Gyaru or Ganguro.

Oh, I'm not scared of the finished product. It's just the transformation process I find freaky. Mostly the eye gluing.

Why did they title it "Transformer"? It makes me think that they are going to turn her into some sort of robot. -.-;

Good to note if I ever feel the need to look good enough to stop cars and cause a mass subjugation of the male species into my minions. Or if I just feel like changing something and actually looking nice and appealing for once. XP

It's the difference between with and without make-up, basically. Contacts are a part of the "make-up".

But consider another difference between... a good photo, and a bad photo. It makes quite the difference. The lighting is very different, it's showing a better angle, and of course, the make-up makes a significant difference. Her hair's the same. Her skin's the same. And while her weight is possibly the same, her clothes aren't.
