A step-by-step guide to building a deep sea creature cosplay with Leviathan Contact Lenses, from skin prep to lens insertion and safe removal.
Quick answer
Build your sea monster look around the lenses, not on top of them: apply eye makeup first, insert the Leviathan lenses last, and remove them before cleansing. This keeps the opaque green-and-purple effect clean and protects your eyes from makeup residue.
Why the lens color changes your makeup order
Leviathan lenses are opaque, with a striking green base and a purple center. That opacity is what makes them read as a deep sea creature rather than a subtle color tint, but it also means any makeup that lands on the lens surface will sit visibly on top of the design. Work in this order: full face and eye makeup, then lenses, then any final setting spray held away from the eyes.
If you plan to use heavy eyeliner or cream shadows, give them a minute to set before insertion. A common mistake is inserting lenses first and then trying to tightline or blend shadow, which risks smudging the lens or trapping product against the eye.
When a simpler look works better
For a last-minute costume or a photoshoot with strong lighting, the lenses can carry the character on their own. Pair them with neutral skin and minimal eye makeup so the green and purple stay the focal point. Save the full sea monster makeup contacts routine for stage or close-up photos where texture and blending will actually be visible.
If you are new to theatrical lenses, practice insertion and removal on a day when you are not rushing to an event. The 90-day usage window after opening gives you time to rehearse, but only if you store the lenses properly between sessions.
Step-by-step: building and wearing the Leviathan look
- Prep your skin and eyes: Wash your hands with soap and dry them completely, then cleanse your face and apply eye makeup before touching the lenses. Checkpoint: if any makeup flakes or powder sits near the lash line, brush it away before insertion.
- Insert the lenses before heavy setting spray: Place each Leviathan lens on your eye using your usual technique, then check that the green base and purple center sit centered over your pupil. Common mistake: spraying setting mist after insertion without closing your eyes, which can leave droplets on the lens. If a lens feels uncomfortable or off-center, remove and reinsert rather than rubbing your eye.
- Build the sea monster makeup around the lenses: Add scales, contour, or brow shaping after the lenses are in, keeping cream and powder products away from the lens surface. Checkpoint: use a small brush and work outward from the eye rather than inward toward the lash line.
- Remove lenses before cleansing: Take out both lenses before you remove makeup or wash your face, then clean and store them in fresh solution. Common mistake: leaving lenses in while using oil-based cleansers, which can cloud the lens surface. Write the opening date on your lens case so you can track the 90-day replacement window.
