As the cold months approach and Halloween draws near, it is time to bring a frosty twist to your costume ideas. While many opt for classic Halloween characters like vampires, witches, or zombies, why not stand out with a winter-inspired character this year? With a sprinkle of creativity and the perfect pair of Halloween contact lenses, you can create a chilling and memorable look that embodies the essence of winter. Have a look at some exciting winter-themed characters and the contact lenses that can help you perfect the look. The Snow Queen Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, the Snow Queen is a regal and icy character that exudes both beauty and a chilling demeanor. To embody this character, think of flowing white or silver gowns, a crown adorned with icicles, and a makeup palette of frosty blues and silvers. But to truly capture the Snow Queen’s icy stare, consider using light blue or ice blue Halloween contact lenses. These lenses will give your eyes a piercing, cold appearance, perfect for portraying a queen who commands winter’s icy wrath. White Walkers from Game of Thrones Game of Thrones introduced us to the terrifying White Walkers, beings from the frozen lands beyond the Wall. Known for their pale skin and haunting blue eyes, the White Walkers are a fantastic choice for a Halloween costume that is both trendy and spine-chilling. To replicate their look, start with pale makeup, perhaps even a prosthetic mask for added authenticity. Pair this with bright blue or blind white Halloween contact lenses to capture their signature stare. These lenses will make your eyes glow eerily, reminiscent of the undead creatures from the show. Jack Frost Jack Frost is a mischievous winter spirit, often depicted as a youthful, playful character who brings frost and ice wherever he goes. This character is a great option for those who want to balance a light-hearted costume with a winter theme. To create the Jack Frost look, you’ll need a costume in shades of blue and white, with frosty makeup that highlights the cheeks and nose. Adding a touch of glitter can give the impression of freshly fallen snow. Complete the look with frosted white or icy blue contact lenses, giving you the sparkling eyes of a frost spirit ready to cause some Halloween mischief. The Ice Witch For a darker twist on the Snow Queen, consider becoming the Ice Witch. This character embodies the malevolent power of winter, casting spells of frost and snow. Think dramatic, dark robes, a cold, piercing expression, and a wand that seems to be made of ice. For the perfect finishing touch, opt for contact lenses that give your eyes a supernatural look. White Out contact lenses can create an eerie, blind effect, while pale blue lenses with a hint of silver can mimic the look of eyes made from ice. This will give your Ice Witch a haunting, otherworldly presence. Frozen Zombies Combining the classic zombie with a winter twist creates a unique and terrifying character –the Frozen Zombie. Imagine a zombie trapped in a snowstorm, with frostbitten skin and a ghastly expression. Use white and blue makeup to mimic frostbite and add texture with fake snow or ice crystals. The key to making this look truly horrifying is in the eyes. White contact lenses can give a foggy, frozen appearance, while ice-blue lenses add a chilling gaze. These lenses will make it seem as though your zombie has been dead and frozen for a long time, adding to the scare factor. The Yeti or Abominable Snowman The Yeti, also known as the Abominable Snowman, is a creature from Himalayan folklore and is often depicted as a large, ape-like monster covered in white fur. To bring this character to life, you’ll need a furry costume, perhaps with oversized hands and feet for added effect. Face makeup should be white with blue or grey accents to give a frostbitten look. For the eyes, opt for bright white or blue out Halloween contact lenses that contrast sharply against the darker colours of the makeup. This will create an intense, wild-eyed appearance that is sure to frighten you. Elsa from Frozen – The Dark Queen Twist While Elsa from Disney’s Frozen is typically portrayed as a hero, a dark twist on this beloved character could be the perfect Halloween costume. Imagine Elsa embracing her powers in a more sinister way, with a costume that’s still recognisable but with darker undertones. To add a dramatic effect, opt for black or dark blue contact lenses, which can give a sinister edge to her otherwise bright-eyed look. Pair this with a darker version of her famous gown, with added icy accessories to complete the transformation from sweet queen to dark sorceress. Halloween is the perfect time to experiment with unique and creative costumes, and winter-inspired characters offer a fresh twist on the usual spooky fare. By adding the right Halloween contact lenses to your costume, you can transform your entire look, capturing the chilling essence of winter and leaving a lasting impression at any Halloween event. Embrace the cold and step into a winter wonderland of creativity this Halloween—with just the right amount of fright!
