Inside Out 2
In June 2024, the Inside Out sequel was released and took the box office by storm. With much anticipation surrounding this second film, there was a lot of pressure to make sure Inside Out 2 lived up to the high praise that the first film received. As many of you probably know, Inside Out features a range of different colored characters that represent emotions such as red for anger, blue for sadness, etc. Due to the number of characters within this film and their unique appearance, the Inside Out characters would make a great option if you and your friends are attending a party or convention as a group cosplay!
When creating your Inside Out cosplay, don’t miss the small details! Include your character’s eye color to bring the look to life. For your Anger Inside Out costume, choose vibrant red contact lenses cosplay such as the Vampire Red Coloured Lenses, or complete your Embarrassment look with the Sakura Pink Cosplay Lenses to match those blushing rosy cheeks!
No cosplay is finished without the right makeup. Cosplay makeup can differ for every character; some appear much heavier to change the facial structure, whereas others can be much more minimal. Complete your Inside Out character with the Mehron SFX Colour Cups available in a range of different shades, including orange, perfect for the new film character, Anxiety.
Wallace and Gromit
Like many out there, were you excited to hear about the new Wallace and Gromit, Vengeance Most Fowl, and its release last Christmas? The claymation tells the story of a new gnome-helper invention created by inventor Wallace that goes horribly wrong. Top Dog, Gromit has to find a way to make things right and save the day!
If you plan to keep things traditional when it comes to your Wallace and Gromit cosplay, our Zombie White contact lenses create a bold eye just like the Aardman characters. This lens features a white iris and a hole for the pupil; the white iris blends perfectly into the natural sclera of your eye creating an effective Wallace or Gromit eye. Alternatively, why not take on one of the new characters from this film? Become one of the evil gnomes, complete with a light blue outfit, brown belt, and blue pointy gnome hat. To emphasize the wicked and naughty behavior of these gnomes, add the Funky Lenses Blind Black Contact Lenses. These contact lenses, just as the name suggests, do severely limit the user's eyesight when worn as they do not include a pupil hole; this enhances a blind and inhuman appearance.
Complete your gnome cosplay by painting on some rosy cheeks using the Paintglow Pink Face & Body Paint; you could also get creative by painting on a fake grey beard on either side of your face from the temples down to your chin using the Mehron SX Colour Cup in Monster Grey.
Sonic The Hedgehog 3
Sonic is on another mission to save the planet, but this time he is protecting it from a new enemy, Shadow. Known for their distinctive colors and supernatural abilities, the characters from the Sonic world make great options for cosplay and provide an abundance of creative options! If you're attending a cosplay event this year with a friend, pay homage to the latest Sonic The Hedgehog film by cosplaying Sonic and Shadow!
In the film, we see how both Sonic and Shadow’s eyes can glow brightly; why not create your cosplay to represent when the characters are at their strongest? If you are cosplaying either of these characters, you’ll want to check out our UV coloured contact lenses; a range of lenses designed to glow in color when they come into contact with black light. These contacts are not glow-in-the-dark, so please consider this when purchasing. To complete your Sonic The Hedgehog cosplay, use the UV Blue Cosplay Contact Lenses to achieve a vibrant glowing blue tone in your eyes just as Sonic does when he receives a power boost. However, if you are a fan of this movie's villain, try out our UV Red contacts cosplay to finalize your Shadow look and create a powerful result!
To really enhance your Sonic or Shadow cosplay, consider creating a makeup look to accentuate their color and features. From the Paintglow collection, choose the UV Face and Body Paint in blue to create the ultimate Sonic The Hedgehog look. Whether you opt for a full face and body application, or highlight certain features in this vibrant color, adding this blue face and body paint to your makeup look will definitely enhance your Sonic energy. Even better, the UV face and body paint collection from Paintglow is activated under UV black light, so not only will your eyes glow bright but your makeup will too! To bring your Shadow cosplay to life, try the Mehron SFX Paradise Paint in black for a full coverage application and highlight his stripes with the UV Face and Body Paint from Paintglow in red.
Moana 2
The movie that all kids and many adults were waiting for from 2024 - Moana 2! Having hit ultimate success with Moana, Moana 2 was highly anticipated and did not disappoint. Continuing the wholesome and adventurous story, Moana 2 takes on a new exploration mission after the main character receives a call from her ancestors. Within this film, you’ll find an abundance of cosplay opportunities from wayfinders to sea creatures and sea monsters! The most popular character is of course Moana herself, with cosplayers usually opting for the more traditional Moana dress made from natural resources.
To complete your Moana cosplay, we stray away from the costume contact lenses and visit our natural lens selection. Moana is known to have beautiful brown eyes in the movie; these are not dark in tone, rather they feature a natural honey pigment. To achieve a similar honey brown eye color like this character, try the Air Optix Honey Brown contact lenses. These contact lenses can easily transform those with light-colored eyes or provide a honey tint to those who already have natural brown eyes. Alternatively, if you choose to create a cosplay look that is a little less lifelike, why not take on the pirates of the sea in this film and become one of the Kakamora? These coconut shell fighters are not to be messed with and their fearless appearances mirror this perfectly! To complete your take on cosplaying Kakamora, include a pair of the Blackout Costume Lenses; featuring a black iris and complete with a pupil hole so your vision remains at full capacity. These contact lenses are a great option for this character choice as they perfectly represent the hollow gaze of the Kakamora.
When considering your Moana cosplay makeup, we think it is best to keep things simple, however, Kakamora makeup provides the ability to explore a bold and unique look! These Moana coconut pirates wear tribal makeup, each with an individual design using bright tones. Our range of face and body paint is exploding with color and provides a wide variety of choices. The Mehron SFX Paradise Makeup palettes include an array of different color themes from pastel, to tropical and those that are more traditional. With these Mehron Paradise palettes, you can easily create your own distinctive Kakamora makeup look!
Even though we have entered a new year, that doesn’t mean that the excitement of 2024 has to wear off. Why not try out one of these bold cosplay ideas at your next event? Whether you’re glowing blue in UV light with your Sonic look, or you're sailing the oceans in your Moana costume. With a pair of Funky Lenses contact lenses, your cosplay comes to life!
