It's a Trend: Neon

Want to stand out this summer?

Well then the only way to go is Neon.

This trend is everywhere at the moment- from the catwalk to our fav celebs who know that you have to go bold to get noticed.

If you want to go for the look, it's best to do either one pop colour, like a bold lipstick teamed with neutral, grey or black make-up or go all-out clashing.

Don't mix two shades with your face and your clothes as the look will just come off too try-hard and schoolgirl rave.

Whatever way you wear it though remember to have fun with it, as that's what make-up is all about after all!


DO...

GO PINK

A statement pink lipstick looks amazing teamed with
minimal eye make-up or the full-on smokey look
a la Jessie J and Marina & The Diamonds

MIX IT UPClashing makeup was seen on the catwalk at the
Dior Spring/Summer 2011 show. Create the
look with this gorge Mac eyeshadow and
Rimmel's Lyrca Pro Nail Polish in 'Orange Bliss

GET BRIGHT NAILS

A candy-coloured neon nail is all the rage with
celebs such as 90210's Annalyne McCord
and it was a bit hit on the catwalk too.

GET BLOCKING

Don't be afraid to stick to one colour.
This orange look was seen at the Lowe
Spring/Summer 2011 show and you
can re-create the look using Mac's Morange

DON'T...

DO A KESHA

The 'tick tock' singer has gone waaaaay
over-the-top with the Neons here.
Just say no.

Emma Stone goes back to her gingery best!

So we all had a little gasp when Emma Stone went from her fiery locks to being a blonde bombshell.

Sure she looked okay, but it just didn't look like her!

However I am happy to report that Emma is back to her gingery best after 6 months on the lighter side of life.

Apparently though, blonde was her natural hair colour. Her colourist Tracy Cunningham told the states 'US Magazine':

"Emma loved going back to her natural blonde, but she feels very comfortable as a redhead and it's the colour she gravitates to. Plus, she wanted an exciting shade for summer!"

Natural or not, it looks GORGEOUS. Make sure you stay in the red Emma!



WANNA COPY HER NEW STYLE...?

If you fancy locks a la Miss Stone and want a fiery new hair shade, the I have just the product for you! L'Oreal Excellence Creme (Rich Auburn 56) is the perfect shade for that red-tinged look.

It contains Pro Keratin which claims to make your hair rich and radiant whilst protecting it too. It also comes with a conditioner that will leave your hair soft and silky.

So what are you waiting for? Go get red!

(Available at most supermarket/drugstores, £5- prices may vary)
