Huge manga eyes!

Makeup enters the Uncanny Valley with these "Big Eye" contacts, currently all the rage in Japan.  Many pics on the link.

Yes, they're just regular f/x lenses with a large printed area to give the impression of a large iris, but they're damn effective. 

I can't decide whether to applaud, recoil, gel my hair and heft an unreasonably huge sword in the girls' protection or erupt into a writhing mass of tentacles and batwings before carrying 'em off to my cyborg demon fortress. 

But dayum!

That is just gross... I can't decide which is worse. That people would make such things or that others would actually buy them. Its as bad as smearing blood products on your face and calling yourself beautiful. I mean they use blood plasma to make many things.

lets distort and exploit the female form even further from its natural. I mean why should girls grow up with healthy self images?

I have some white ones. S'fashion, innit?

The male form should be distorted to match ;)
