So one thing is for sure, the Na’vi costumes are going to be in full effect for this Halloween. Avatar is already the second highest grossing film of all-time, and is on track to be the biggest ever. The Na’vi are the inhabitants of the world Pandora and they are very tall, and have bright yellow eyes.
I’ve already run across some images of people who are dressing up as Na’vi, and in order to get that extra step, the perfect yellow contacts will seal the deal and probably win many costume contests.
The question remains, which yellow contacts will work best for a Na’vi look? I’ve looked around and so far the best I’ve found would be the Cyvus Vail yellow contacts from Coastal Contacts. The big thing about the Na’vi look is not that it’s a yellow colored eye, it’s also how big it is.
One concern is that they do run you about $125 each contact, so you should be prepared to spend some money if you want that perfect Na’vi look. The reason they are more expensive is simply because they don’t cover just your pupil like a normal contact, but instead make the appearance of your pupil, and really you’re entire eye, in a larger more dominant eye, just like the Na’vi.
The Na’vi’s are large and their eyes are just as prominent. You need a yellow contact lenses that is larger than your actual eye and gives off that gigantic look that works so well on the Na’vi of Pandora.
You can see the Na’vi eyes here, and then compare them to the yellow contacts I recommend and you can tell it’s a pretty good match. It’s very possible, and I will update this page if it happens, that there will be some specially designed contacts for the Na’vi look.
Contact manufacturer’s are pretty good at keeping up with trends in the media and the looks that people go for so I wouldn’t be surprised if sometime before this upcoming Halloween at least one will make a specific contact just for the needs of the Avatar fans.
If, and assuming they will, for now this is the best solution for avatar contact lenses I’ve found online to meet the Na’vi look and I think it works pretty well. Designing the rest of the Na’vi costume will be up to you, but I’m sure there will be a big market for that look as well. One thing that has almost always held true when it comes to designing your own Halloween costume after your favorite character, is that when you do it yourself, and it comes from the heart, it will be a better costume.
Store bought costumes, for the Na’vi for example, will probably not be nearly as realistic and effective opposed to you making your own. Paint your body blue, add the special look and feel and then top it off with some Na’vi contact lenses and you will have the best costume around.
