Martin has the skills to turn his hand to a range of makeup styles including this beautiful vision in blue. The amazing colour choices give an artistic light and shadow effect to this design that we are in awe of. The Mini Sclera coloured contacts range is a popular choice for creative makeup due to the enlarged effect they give to the iris. The black lenses are particularly effective because the colour blends with the pupil.

@elenavelez collaboration with White Blind Coloured Contact Lenses

We worked with Elena Velez on her 2023 fashion collection for New York Fashion Week. This editorial makeup was part of the theming for YR003 collection. As you can see, coloured contact lenses are now being sought after by fashion designers to complete their creative concept. For this shoot the blind coloured contacts were used – remember, these lenses result in obscured vision but the effect on camera is amazing.
