What Are Circle Lenses?

Did you see Bad Romance with Lady Gaga? 


Her eyes are huge! 

Circle Lenses, not Contacts, can give you this effect by enlarging your eyes naturally. To put it simply, circle lenses share the same concept as contacts do, except they have a bigger diameter. That is, they are bigger than contact lenses.Because of this they give the illusion that your eyes are bigger than they actually are.

However, not all circle lenses are the same size, some vary from 14mm to 16mm in diameter. Depending on the ones you purchase, Circle Lenses can give you the perfect dolly look and make your eyes seem really big!

Ulzzang: What is it?

Ever heard of the term, "Ulzzang?" If so, you most likely know it means "best face" or "good looking." If your not sure how to say it, no worries, try saying this instead: Uoljjang. Unfortunately, Ulzzang is not very common in America. It is, however, in areas such as Korea, Japan, and China. Ulzzang is a popular fashion trend focused on big eyes and pasty white skin. The style is more natural and casual compared to other trends such as gyaru or ranzuki.

The main focus of the Ulzzang look is the eyes.
To enlarge the eyes the Ulzzangs' use circle lenses, not contact lenses. Circle lenses have a bigger diameter than contacts so they give the illusion that your eyes are bigger. 

  

The girls will not only wear circle lenses. 
You may find some wearing fake eyelashes, eyeliner, and at times eye glue or tape.

Eye Glue

Now your probably wondering what eye glue is. Eye glue is used to create a double lid for people who have monolids/single lids. The glue helps achieve a double lid because it holds part of your lid up to enlarge your eyes. 

Another thing that plays an important role to the Ulzzang is white skin. 

Really white skin can be achieved by using products such as Papaya or Pearl soap. Papaya soaps are used to whiten and soften the skin, it is also known to prevent acne.
