Neon makeup: how to wear bright shades on your face
Summer makeup is always original solutions and bright blotches! The inform.com.de editorial staff tells how to fit neon colors into both complex and concise images.
Neon shades are back at the peak of popularity. Bright colors started celebrating one victory after another in the 80s. Since then, in one interpretation or another, they appear in almost every summer collection of the most famous designers. This year, trendsetters are most fond of fluorescent shades in manicure and makeup. But there are a few nuances that are worth remembering.
Don't go overboard
The number one tip of all Hollywood makeup artists is to be careful with bright colors to give the image originality, but at the same time keep it concise. The era when we applied ten layers of neon shades is long gone. Limit yourself to one or more movements of the brush so that the neon lays down in a translucent haze. If it's eyeliner, apply it in the original way and in a thin line.
Ideally, you should only have neon in one place on your face. The most relevant option is to draw the outer or inner corners of the eyes, draw an arrow for them, or simply put a few dots on the eyelid with a makeup brush.
Remember geometry lessons
A fresh mix of the new season – neon combined with geometry. You can peep the idea of u200bu200bmakeup with this combination at the latest Off White show. Star makeup artist Morgan Martini painted literally neon stripes on the faces of fashion models. “With the help of neon shadows, I didn't do makeup as much as eye accessories. In order to draw a beautiful geometric line, I used adhesive tape: I stuck two strips on the skin, and applied shadows between them. So I managed to create a trendy fresh look," says Morgan.
Don't go beyond
There are practically no restricted areas when using neon liner, pencil or eye shadow. Except for one: the lash line. Apply black eyeliner, eyeliner, or just leave her without any makeup. The main thing is not to apply bright elements, because in this case the eyelashes will look strange, and the shape of the eye itself may become asymmetrical.
The only case when it is appropriate to apply neon eyeliner to the lash line is if you have chosen an identical shade of mascara .
Combine correctly
The main principle of trendy makeup is conciseness. Yes, yes, it can be saved even if you use neon elements. The main thing is to compensate for a bright shade in one zone, with a natural color in another. If you decide to apply neon shadows on your eyelids, leave your cheeks without blush and highlighter. And if, on the contrary, you want to do draping, leave your eyes and eyelids as natural as possible.
Think beyond makeup
Think about how to combine neon shadows or lipstick not only with other decorative cosmetics, but also with clothes. The most relevant solution is to integrate neon into a monochrome look, or combine bright makeup with neutral shades such as white, black or gray. Another option is to do makeup to match the manicure.
