The Grinch is another character that looks amazing with Yellow Avatar Coloured Contact Lenses as they are very similar to the yellow eyes that Jim Carrey had in How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

Do they use contact lenses in Twilight?
The actors in the Twilight Saga do wear contact lenses to match Stephenie Meyer’s descriptions. Robert Pattinson has been interviewed the most extensively on the subject as he had difficulty wearing his movie contacts. However, his co-star Kristen Stewart successfully wore coloured contact lenses for Bella in human and vampire form. Bella is described as having brown eyes while Kristen Stewart has naturally green eyes so she wore natural lenses. When she becomes a vampire, like all the other Cullen characters, she wears vampire contact lenses. The vampire eye colour varies depending on how bloodthirsty they are. A satiated vampire has black eyes while a newborn thirsty vampire has bright red. Depending on their chosen diet, they may also have golden or orange eyes. Here are some of our top picks for Twilight Lenses:
- Black Halloween Contact Lenses
- Orange Twilight Star Contact Lenses
- Crazy Clown Contact Lenses
- Orange Werewolf Contact Lenses

It certainly made an impact, with movie fans noticing the intensity and brilliance of the way he uses his gaze to act out the scenes.
Did Natalie Portman wear contact lenses in Black Swan?
Natalie Portman did wear red contact lenses in Black Swan. To depict the paranoia and mental strain that Nina is experiencing in Black Swan, the character has red eyes when she fully transforms into the Black Swan. This powerful image is often the version of Nina that we see cosplayed and worn for Halloween. The dramatic eye makeup, feathers, and striking outfit are paired with intense red eyes that were achieved by custom contact lenses. Many of the other effects were created in post-production but the red eyes were movie lenses. Some of our popular styles for Black Swan eyes include Red Voldemort Lenses, Red Angelic Lenses and Red Halloween Lenses.
Did they use contact lenses in 28 Days Later?

The creepy red eyes of the infected 28 days later characters can be achieved with coloured contact designs such as Crazy Clown Lenses and Darth Maul Lenses.
