Title: Girls Get the Anime Look with Extra-Wide Contact Lenses
Post by: Asmodai on August 12, 2008, 01:55:25 PM

Anyone who's seen Japanese comics, cartoon videos or anime art is instantly struck by the common look of the girls - big eyes that, by making the rest of the face look small, add the cuteness and sex appeal prized by many Japanese men. Since no amount of cosmetic surgery will make actual human eyes larger, some girls are trying another way to up their cute quotient: extra-wide contact lenses!

They actually seem to work pretty well.

Of course I love my girlfriend's eyes they way they are, so I'll pass...

You gotta use the eyelid glue first though...

No offence to the girl, but that pic is creepy/scary. :O

Those lenses have been around for quite a while, I think

They're obviously fake when people wear them but I think it looks nice when the pic isn't crazy zoomed and shopped.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mari Yaguchi uses them.

Now that eye glue... I thought she looked better without it. It must be painful if you fuck up XD

That is just pure wrong, I knew about them before but the process of doing it is just...no.
