How To: Bold Neon Eyes

HOW TO: BOLD NEON EYES

Straight from the runway, it's time to say hello to this season's latest makeup trend: neon eyes. This look is playful, vibrant and - with our The City Mini Eyeshadow Palette in Graffiti Pop - totally easy to achieve! Each shade is highly pigmented with a creamy texture, so they're perfect for blending and experimenting with.

Bold Neon Eyes

Step /1/ Before you go crazy with colour, the trick to creating the perfect eye makeup base is Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer to keep creases away and lock your shadow in place all day and night.

Step /2/ Grab your The City Mini Eyeshadow Palette in Graffiti Pop and dip a blending brush into the light purple. Start applying from the outer corner and work the shade along the crease, blending upwards toward the brow bone. Continue this shade all the way across the eye until you reach the inner corner. Don't hesitate to build on the shade for a more vivid look - the aim is to go big and go bold!

Step /3/ Remove any residue shadow from your blending brush and use the palette's lightest colour to blend and soften around the brow bone. HINT: Add Master Holographic Prismatic Highlighter across the brow bone for an extra touch of shimmer.

Step /4/ Next, brighten the lid by applying the creamy shimmer to the middle of the lid with a soft eyeshadow brush. If the shade looks too harsh, use a blending brush and fuse towards the inner and outer corners.

Step /5/ Now for the hero of this look: the neon blue. For an intense finish use a small, precise brush and apply the shade across the edge of the lid – as you would with eyeliner. Once you've perfected a consistent colour from inner to outer corner, blend upwards for a seamless finish. Finish the look with your favourite Maybelline mascara and you're ready to go!
