This makeup look by @haodoyoungo is proof that even glittery, colorful eyeshadow can be soft and wearable. You can replicate the look by layering a soft wash of your favorite shimmery eyeshadows on the lid (we love the Urban Decay Naked Cyber Eyeshadow Palette for this) and drawing a line in the crease using the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Smoke Liner.Flaming Red Liner
You may have a signature red lipstick, but what about a go-to red eyeliner? To make the neon shade pop, make sure to prime your lids with a white base first. The NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk ensures your color stays as vibrant as it looks in the pan as it does on your skin.Neon Blink
Don’t blink or you’ll miss the flash of electric green liner streaked across @halfagemini’s lids. A wash of pink in the inner corners offers a stunning contrast.Sunset Punch
For a monochromatic take on colorful liner, pick a shade that you can match with your blush, like this fiery coral or a bright pink. We love the way @glambymykaila tied her look together with a pop of orange in her inner corners.
Sunny-Side Up
Want to know the easiest way to rock colorful eyeshadow? Pick a single bright shadow you love and blend the shade all over the lid and into the crease. Amp up the look like @rowisingh did by adding false lashes coated in a white primer, like the Lancôme Cils Booster XL Enhancing Lash Primer, and a shadow that matches your lids.
Bubblegum Beat
This hot pink eyeshadow look is made even more fun with multicolored gemstones glued on top. If you’re hesitant about wearing colorful eyeshadow, look for a shade with depth, like this rich berry pink, rather than a neon. Neutral liner softens the look as well.
