How I envy you. Seriously, how do you do it? I bought myself some white out contact lenses for this Halloween, as I will be a grotesquely glorious zombie, and thought, what better to make it look more 'real' than contacts!
So I ordered them online, got a 25% discount, free pair of sunglasses, and they arrived at my home a day later. Excellent.
Now, I've never worn contacts before, but, I have no problem touching my eye, so how hard can it be?
I've been trying for the past hour and a half to get these things in my eyes (yes I've cleaned them and sterilized them with solution and all that good stuff first) HOLY CRAP. I can't stop them from going inside out as I press them onto my eyeball!
I've tried to be sneaky and slide it on my eye, no luck. I tried to be like fast and just get it in there, no luck. I've even tried holding the contacts with TWO fingers to try and stop it from going inside out. Nope.
I just can't figure it out. I've watched countless YouTube videos, and read all the how tos on holding my eyelids open 'a la clockwork orange' while holding my eyelashes so they don't bat the contact off my finger. It looks so easy to do it!
I'm giving up for today, my eye is tired from being opened that wide. :( Gonna have beer and wings with Susana and Dave tonight.
