While the Obi Wan Kenobi series may have received mixed reviews, there was one star that was never in doubt and that was Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan Kenobi. To create your own Obi Wan Kenobi costume you are going to need a Jedi robe or if you have got insane body paint art skills like @rainbowskinz, you can paint your own. 

Whether you will be sewing your own Jedi costume or picking one up from the store, you can add extra detail to your Obi Wan cosplay by giving yourself vibrant blue eyes. For this Obi Wan Kenobi makeup, @rainbowskinz has used the Aqua Blue Ice Walker Coloured Contacts. Choosing lenses from our cosplay range will help your eyes to be bright and noticeable. However, if you want a more subtle approach then a style from our natural blue contact lenses range will give realism to your Obi Wan look.

Jar Jar Binks is one of the most controversial characters in the Star Wars universe.  This character is swamped in conspiracy fan theories as well as causing plenty of love or hate debates. We love the cute fun caption on this Jar Jar Binks costume by @artbybmazz and are super impressed by this transformation. @artbybmazz has incredible SFX makeup skills so this look will definitely put your skills to the test!

Nothing seems to keep this man down; Darth Sidious has returned to our screens time and time again from The Empire Strikes Back to The Rise Of Skywalker. Emperor Palpatine is one seriously evil character, reflected in the devilish expression @artbybmazz is posing in. For this Emperor Palpatine costume, @artbybmazz has used the classic Red/Yellow Wild Fire Coloured Contacts which offer a similar style to the Darth Maul Lenses.

@rainbowskinz has also taken on Darth Sidious for his May the 4th mini series. In this look, you can see what the Emperor looks like with Yellow Avatar Coloured Contact Lenses. Make sure to swipe to see @rainbowskinz’s brilliant poses in his Darth Sidious costume. 

Darth Maul Costume Inspiration

One of the most popular Star Wars costumes to create at home is Darth Maul. Using bold red and black face paint with a black robe, you can create a very convincing Sith Lord. To complete your look, make sure to add his horns and change your eye colour to the Darth Maul Lenses.

In this makeup, @mulan_mtz has opted for the Crazy Clown Coloured Contacts which offer a similar red and yellow design to transform your eyes.

@rainbowskinz’s Star Wars costume adult of Darth Maul includes a full chest body paint to create the red and black design seen in the Star Wars films.

@avada___kedavra’s Darth Maul cosplay proves how awesome Star Wars costumes adults can look when you pay attention to detail. This photo edit looks amazing! 

Want your Darth Maul costume to stand out from the crowd? Have a bit of fun like @rainbowskinz and see what this Sith Lord would look like in different colours. This rainbow Darth Maul is so much fun and definitely a lot less scary!

With Star Wars creators paying so much attention to detail, there are probably thousands of characters to choose from. From the mind of George Lucas came whole new races and species so you can choose to dress up as a human, Sith, or SFX creature in your next Star Wars costume. Coloured Contacts is here to help you complete those finishing touches with Star Wars contact lenses to bring the creative cosplay you are imagining to life.
