Q&A for How to Make Your Eyes Red

Don't put lotion in or near your eyes. This could cause serious irritation and potentially damage your vision.

About 6-10 minutes, but it depends on how hard you rub your eyes. It might be 2-3 minutes instead.

Yes, you can make your eyes red that way, but it's very bad for your eyes/eyesight and will be quite painful.

For a prank or to convince someone you've been crying.

Yes, this is safe (assuming you follow the instructions properly).

Around 2-3 minutes, depending on how sensitive your skin and eyes are. Don't rub too vigorously or you might hurt yourself.

Swim in the pool, or rub around your eyes a lot to make them look puffy and pink.

No. You can rub onions close to your eyes to make yourself cry, which could make your eyes red, but you shouldn't put any onions directly into your eyes.

No, there isn't. There's no way you change the color of your irises without contacts/external stuff.

It might redden your eyes, but it's not the safest idea, because while they're blowing they could transmit saliva to your eyes, and potentially bacteria along with it.

Press harder on the tear duct area with your eyes squeezed closed as tight as you can, and slide your fingers back and forth over your lash line.

If you rub around your eyes and then use eye drops, they should become puffy; the eye drops will take away the redness.

No, do NOT do that! The food coloring will spread across your eye and cause ocular staining or an allergic reaction. (Eyes are very sensitive.)

No, do not put any kind of soap in or near your eye, it will hurt a lot and you could damage your vision.

It has that potential. Alcohol's dehydrating and vasodilation effects may make the blood vessels of the eyes stand out, making them bloodshot.

It is not a good idea. The glitter could get in your eyes and that would be very painful. It could also harm your eyes.

You could, but the citric acid will, in addition to causing redness, cause burning, stinging and irritation.

Consult Fake Pink Eye .

Peppermint oil can, in most cases, cause indirect irritation. This will make the eyes red.

The effect of red eyes usually fades away quickly, but if you follow these steps consistently, yes, the illusion will stay for a whole day.

Yes, if you are planning on leaving the house and still want red eyes when you leave, try using something different, like makeup.

Consult Look Like You Are on Drugs .

They'll likely stay like that for about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the amount of time you spent with the onions near your eyes. For a more dramatic effect after you cut up the onions, microwave them in a bowl for 30 seconds with a little bit of water and use your finger to apply the water under your eyes. The effect will last longer, if you can stand it.

No. You'll end up in Urgent Care or the Emergency Room. You could damage your eyesight. In the meantime, you would cause yourself physical misery.

Unless you have a glass eye, no. Your eyeball is connected to veins in your brain, so you cannot pull it out without extreme force, and there is no way to put it back in.
