Neon Beauty Trend: 5 Ways to Wear

The Latest and Hottest Trend this Spring is Neon Makeup! I know what you are thinking, Neon? How do you make Neon Makeup look good? Neon colors create a bold statement. So If you're not afraid to be bold, and turn heads in the process, this new trend is for you! It works great on every skin tone and compliments almost ever look, if worn properly. You can wear this colorful trend in five different ways:

Lips Electricly Bright Lips can work great, especially if you couple it with classic black eyeliner and a stunningly porcelain complexion. Keep your other makeup minimal, to really give your Lips that POP of Color! This Spring, the colors that are hot, is Vibrant Fuchsia to Neon Tangerine Lips. A great Lip Colour, that works great with all skin tones is the Moi Lip Colour by Mirabella. Rich, high-pigment fashion shades go on smoothly and stay put with no bleeding. Available in 18 shades. Lead-free; Paraben-free.

And if you reallly want to make that bright, hot pink stand out you can also try pairing the Moi Lip Colour with the Hypnotic Lip Lustre Liner by Mirabella. heer, brilliant lip liner is easy to blend and layer. Aloe Vera keeps lips soft and application comfortable. Long-wearing shiny finish creates the perfect base for lip gloss formulas. Available in six shades.

Eyes Neon Eyeshadows can look elegant and gorgeous! Even though that seems kind of unbelievable, It's true! IF you wear it properly (Nicki Minaj doesn’t count). In order to look bright, but not vulgar wearing neon eyeshadow shades, you need just to pair your fave neon color with a natural one to get a perfect beauty balance. For example, you can apply a bit of yellow eyeshadow to the inner corners of your eyes and neutral brown to the lid.

Banana and Mink GloEye Shadow by GloMinerals is the perfect example of making neon eyeshadows chic, and elegant. Using the Banana GloEye Shadow, brush on the bright yellow along your lash line, as well as the inner corners of your lid. Then using, the Mink GloEye Shadow, sweep the colour in your crease, below the brow bone. Make sure to blend well, so that you see the change from yellow to brown perfectly!

Eye Liner If you can’t venture to apply a shocking eyeshadow shade, start your neon beauty experiments with a vivid liner color. Luckily there is great variety to choose from. Try pairing green, blue or purple liner colors with a clean face. It will make your eyes pop like nothing else. This look is great for the office, it keeps your other make up minimal, and gives just a touch of color, that ensures people will be looking at your eyes! Great for business meetings!

Bright Yellow or Bright Pink might still be a little scary for those of us, myself included, that never really tried bright neon makeup before. So a nice baby step, would be a light blue eye liner. The Peacock Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner by Stila is an amazing choice! You'll go crazy for Smudge Sticks! This highly pigmented, waterproof eye liner glides on to deliver intense, vibrant color with staying power.

Nails In search of an appropriate accessory for your neutral outfit, neon painted nails will do the job. Try coral, orange or bright pink if you have a warm skin tone or go for purple, yellow or blue if your skin tone is cool.

Cheeks Not actually neon, but heavily blushed cheeks are among the hottest ways to wear bright makeup colors this Spring! Hot Pinks, Bright Oranges...bright blush gives you that gorgeous face color, and is a great way to use the bright shades to highlight and contour your face to make those cheek bones stand out!

the Rouge Crushed Mineral Blush by Youngblood is amazing! A nice bright, yet subtle pink that works for all skin tones. Our Crushed Mineral Blush offers a hint of luscious color that can be applied to the cheeks, temples, eyes, or lips for a healthy natural glow. Our exclusive sifter component makes dispensing easy and precise; with a tap of a finger, you get just the right amount--no mess, no waste.

Color Blocking Your Make-up

A really popular trend that tends to pop out in the Spring and Summer months, is Color Blocking. It first made it's appearance on Spring 2011 runways. Color Blocking is strategically placed, contrasting, yet complimentary, bold and bright colors paired together to create a unique look. To fully grasp the full, bold color effect you match choose three different colors to play with. Not sure what colors blend well with eachother? Try using the rule of two-thirds theory. What's the rule of two-thirds theory? According to the theory, start by making a triangle on a color wheel. Then, you can pick the three colors that the points of the triangle touch. These colors almost always look beautiful together! All though, we mainly see Color Blocking in the form of Fashion and Clothing. It can still be used in other ways. What ways? You might ask yourself. Simple. Your makeup.

When applying makeup we normally use between two to three shades of eyeshadow when blending and contouring our eyes. By using the Color Blocking technique as inspiration you can play with any part of your makeup regime to add bold splashes of bright, fun colors that work for Spring and Summer!

Still not getting it? Well Today we are going to show you how to create the look from the above picture! now this color combination was obviously inspired by a peacock feather, combining gold, blue and green.

The first step, is picking what eyeshadows to use! GloMinerals is an amazing make-up line that offers a wide range of products from eyeshadows to lipsticks. The GloEye Shadow by GloMinerals, offers shadows in rich hues and timeless color to deliver crease-free coverage in a base loaded with antioxidants, perfect to highlight and contour any eye shape. To re-create this Peacock Feather Color Block Look, you are going to want to use the Twinkle, Rain Forest and Ocean GloEye Shadows.

Using the Eye Base Brush by GloMinerals, brush on the Twinkle GloEye Shadow along the inner corners, and lid of your eye. Using the Angled Eye Brush, apply the Rain Forest GloEye Shadow over the middle part of your lid. Also, using the same tool, brush the Rain Forest along your lower lash line. Using the Eye Contour Brush, apply Ocean in the crease of your eyelide, brushing right under your brow bone. Use the brush to perfectly blend the bright blue so that you can see the your eyeshadows fade from gold-green-blue for a perfect replica of a Peacock feather.

Next, apply an eyeliner along your top lid only, staying close to the lash line. The GloCream Eye Liner in Ebony would be the perfect choice! Luxurious cream pigments enable easy precision lining at the lash line. glominerals GloCream Eye Liners can also be smudged for a smoky look. Apply on a few coats, of GloLash Lengthening Mascara is formulated to deliver nutrients and help the lashes to grow to their potential.

Complete the Look, by swiping on the Imperial Pink GloRoyal Lip Crayon by GloMinerals. A crayon-inspired, chunky pencil that shades the lips with a moisture rich, long-lasting sheer gloss, and has the precision of a pencil. These sharpen-able crayons are available in five gorgeous shades. If GloMinerals is not the makeup for you, Check out Mission Beauty Salon & Spa to see what other greta maekup lines we provide!
