They should get some shades, 'cause you'll bring the blaze

No reason to ditch your trusted black eyeliner, but if neon, bright and bold eyeliners, eye pencils, and mascaras are something you normally never wear, you might end up having more fun with them than you expected. Neon eye makeup can be applied as a statement detail, if you're going for a trendy look, or in any other way you may discover appeals to you when you look in the mirror during play. However, do play, and here's why. Neon makeup tends to serve more the "makeup purpose of makeup" i.e. it's more about the artistic and striking decorative approach, and less about using makeup " to just look alive and presentable these days, girl!" purpose. Neon makeup wants to be seen standing out.

As a beginner with neon eye makeup, you might find your look unusual at first, especially if you compare it to your regular makeup style — try not to give up immediately, because neons are surprising — if you tried yellow neon eyeliner and didn't like it, for example, try electric blue eyeliner, or an emerald green eye pencil — or a brightly colored mascara, all of which are on this list, plus some amazing new launches. Also, by incorporating a little bit of these neon details in your existing color palette the next time you do your go-to makeup look, you will realize the transformative power they have, both look-wise and vibe-wise. Whether you go for the minimalist makeup approach or otherwise, neon eye mascaras and eye liners will definitely be 1) eye-catching, 2) a refreshing change, and 3) street style and festival-ready.
