We never thought we'd wear neon makeup until now
Once reserved for 80s music videos and fancy dress parties, neon makeup is now an accepted, if not damn encouraged, form of beauty art. The trend is back in a BIG way, all thanks to celebrity MUAs who have declared it cool AF.
Last year you probably couldn't have paid us to put lime green eyeshadow anywhere near our lids, but we're currently lusting after every type of neon makeup item ever made. Sounds wild? It is, but even the most faint hearted can pull this look off like a pro with little to no effort. Trust.
The beauty with wearing a bright colour is that you get to downplay all other areas of your makeup. Rocking a bright smokey? Keep your skin glowy and your lips nude. Make your neon area the focus and forget about painting anywhere else.
Still not convinced? Bet your bottom dollar you will be once you've witnessed the celeb lewks below...
Neon green
