Pinky Paradise EOS Dolly Eye Blue Review



These specific pair of contacts are great for characters with crazy blue eyes, when you want to look cartoony and a bit otherwordly. These are not "natural" lenses, meaning they don't try to replicate naturally born blue eyes, but are rather cosplay lenses made to give that extra OOMPH to your character!







The EOS Dolly Eye Blue are circle lenses with the following stats (taken from Pinky Paradise's web page);


Diameter: 14.2mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Life Span: 1 Year Disposal


The come with full prescription if that is wanted!

As you can see in the pictures above, the color of the contacts is very vibrant and shows really well in both bright and dark light. Although the lower photo without flash may look a bit darker, as you can see the color still shows fairly well. 




For good measure, please compare the high quality photos above with the photos in lower quality below. As you can see the quality removes a lot of the contact detail, but the color is still vibrant as ever and really gives a good, cartoony look to your eyes,

Accuracy to description;
5/5
This is always important for me when I choose my 
contacts. These lenses were extremely similar to the 
ones in the photos on Pinky Paradise's web page, I 
would say identical.

Comfort;
3/3
These contacts were comfortable for circle 
lenses, however after wearing them for a day 
my eyes were very dry. Might have been just 
me though and not the lenses :)

Color;
5/5
When I chose these lenses I was looking 
for extremely BLUE contacts. These are 
very much so, to the brink where they 
might even look a bit unnatural. So perfect 
for cosplay!

Price; 
5/5
These contacts are currently listed to 
cost $25.90 at Pinky Paradise, which I 
think is a very fair price for a pair of 
good looking, high quality lenses + free 
lens case!

Coverage; 
4/5
These contacts covered my own eyes very well, 
but probably because my own eyes are 
grey/blue. However since my eyes are a bit 
darker the contacts darkened slightly when I put 
them on as well. I have no record of how the 
color covers other eye colors than mine!





To visualize how the contacts fit with a costume, here are a few photos of my Harley Quinn cosplay (sponsored by CosplaySky).

Thank you so much for watching and reading my review! <3

  1. I agree with you that the Dolly Eye series of lenses are amazing for cosplay!!
    I've had the pink ones myself and they were really vibrant and cartoony as well. :) The only issue I had with my pink lenses was that in poorer lights they would blur my sight and give me pink corners in my vision field, but otherwise they were great. Did you have this problem?
    Oh and yeah, they also covered my real eye color (light blue-gray) completely. :3

    Psst, I don't mean to be that one but there were quite a few typos on your post. ^^; xD
