Neon shades are trendy and high on every fashionista’s mind. These bold colours from emerald green to hot pink, tangerine and orange can now be seen in clothes, accessories, shoes and nail paints. But do you know that we can play with these colours with earthy eye shadows and bold lips in matte hot pink, peach or orange. In eye shadows one can go for  colours like lime green, turquoise and also coloured liners.

But before picking them, always keep in mind the skin tone.  Fair skin beauties can experiment with any  neon shade whereas mid tone skin should go for warmer tones like an orange-peach blush. On the other hand dusky beauties can opt for bright shade lip colours like shocking pink.

Makeup artist Niti Luthra tells you how to do makeup using neon shades.
