The need to change the color of the eyes may be both medical and cosmetic. After infancy, the eye color fully matures. One may have brown, hazel, blue, green or gray eyes for their life.

A few days old but my eyes are ever changing.

Hiiiiiiii Rin! I know this is kind of a weird question, but I'm a bit scared to ask the cosplayer, and you edited the photos, but do you know where the Kuranosuke in your most recent photo got her lenses?

Ah, anon, don’t be scared of thequeenofthepirates.  She’s nicer than I am, promise.  :D

That being said, they aren’t circle lenses at all, though I’m super flattered you think so.  <3  (Or is that not a compliment because you could tell they were artificial and not natural?  I’m going to hope it’s because they were purple and they don’t look ridiculously obvious …)  

Both Tsukimi and Kuranosuke’s eye colors are edited in!  Tsukimi’s brown eyes were just a paintbrush with low opacity, since they’re too far away for anything but the color to be obvious.  

Kuranosuke’s were a little different.  They were meant to be a centerpiece, so they had to be pretty detailed.  Here’s what they look like up close (I believe this is about 300% magnification?):

The base color is the dark purple you see around the edges.  then I added in a lighter purple closer to the iris.  The iris itself is actually a very dark indigo, in order to look more natural than black, and then the white light?  Just a very light purple.  By keeping the color scheme uniform, it creates a fairly cohesive-looking eye.  Oh, also, the dark purple + light purple in the color is smudged together with a very small brush.  Not sure it did anything other than sort of blurred the lines between the two colors.  

I know that the cosplay world is super into circle lenses, but if you can’t wear them, no worries!  Photo editing is your friend!

Thanks for the ask!

Au where that bitch’s eyes actually DO change color with her mood. And everyone thinks it’s terrifying instead of “quirky and cute”

My eyes are green today!!! They've been a gold brown forever but they've finally changed color!! I hope blue is next!!! 😍

My eyes are neither brown nor blue but I found this article interesting. I'd love to try out some blue contacts though, would probably look cool with my blue hair.
