protect shampoo and conditioner so
you can change your hair colour all you
want.
However, considering the given risk of
hair damage involved during bleaching
and re-colouring, we recommend opting
for temporary hair colours or fun clip-on
extensions that can do the job just as
well

Tip: Make a statement with colourful
neon dip tips. Throw in a bunch of neon
and pastel shades to create of myriad

of colours and nail the trend the subtle

way.

Jolt of neon into your beauty wardrobe

Go for a neon makeup look and tone

down the shades of your outfits to

something more minimal. The idea

is to shift the focus without looking

like you’re about to be mistaken for a

crossing guard.

Eye lighter

The key to neon makeup is to use it as an

accent. In other words, don't cover your

eyelids with shocking pink or yellow.

The intended effect in an unexpected

pop of bright color to liven up your face.

And skip the sparkles if you're going to

attempt this. For example, for a night

out, the eyes can be brightened using

shimmery neon blue or acid green

eyeshadow which are sure to contrast

with your outfit for added punch.

Tip: Just like any makeup trend, you

shouldn’t feel a need to stick to a script

to pull off something amazing. Don’t

be afraid to color outside of the lines of

your eye area and create colorful shapes

that speak to you and your aesthetic.

Pop up Pout

From orange to yellow to fuchsia hues

on your lips can add the right amount of

pop to your look. Use orchid or fuschia

coloured lipstick to keep the focus on

your pretty pout that are sure to take

your look from zero to 100 in a matter of

seconds.

Tip: Since your lips are the focus, keep

everything else simple and fresh—

just apply a little foundation or tinted

moisturizer, a coat of mascara, and a

touch of blush or bronzer. Your makeup

won’t look over-the-top, even when your

lipstick is totally eye-popping.

Neony nails

With free rein to play with bold colors

and endless summer-inspired motifs,

simply put vibrant magenta fingernails

that are just meant to be wrapped

around a glass of rosé during Friday's

rooftop happy hour. Minimal neon nail

art is going to be a hit this summer.

Think: stripes, fine lines, and neon motifs

on a clear base. Painting your nails a

sunny yellow or brilliant purple colour is

both easy and low-maintenance.

look with some Tokyo-inspired flair for

nails that are sure to steal the show

Tip: Make sure to put a base coat to

protect your nails. Try all shades from

brighter to lighter in one go and wear

some funky rings and rock it like a diva!
