So I've used fabric before for my kevin mask costume, the problem was it made my vision so limited I had to take the mask off most the time so I could see well anything. I was wondering if any one had any idea's on making coloured eyes in a mask?
Batman is a great example of what I mean. he has white eyes holes in all the comics.

Visibility out is not too bad, visibility in is not good, so no one can see you looking out. I imagine other colours of netting will work equally well.
Or you could try taking the lenses off a pair of mirrored sunglasses? |

I'm not sure, but I know I'd try a car shop or internet search if it was me! |
