With summer around the corner, it's the perfect time to revamp your make-up bag. Adding some bright pops of neon can amp up your day-to-day make-up look ready for a summer of parties, holidays and festivals.
After Coachella took over our Insta feed last month, it's clear that we can already predict the summer trends for 2022. Above the sea of cowboy boots and butterfly tops, we saw the influx of neon pops of coloured make-up added to a classic glam look. Adding a neon eyeliner or a fun bright lip is an easy yet effective way to turn it up a notch when heading out to a festival.
We've seen many of our fave gals on Insta rocking a neon make-up look, like ultimate supermodels Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber. This has given us the perfect inspo on how we can emulate their killer looks this summer.
Get ready for our fave selection of hacks and products you need in order to add a pop of neon make-up to your summer wardrobe.
