Neon makeup is currently blowing up on Instagram.
Gone are the days of using your highlighter to paint your nails at school. Now, people are spending hundreds of pounds on cosmetics from the likes of MAC and NYX to achieve a glow in the dark look.
UV makeup is usually found in costume shops, but if the blinding colours on social media are anything to go by, this style can be easily recreated with high street products.

It’s a versatile look. Some people are using it for a full face transformation.
But you can also use it to add a flash of colour to your usual makeup routine
Some are substituting contouring kits for UV brights
But whether you go for eyes or lips (or both), the result is definitely eye-catching

While some rely on UV make to create their looks, many bloggers look to their styling skills to make colours stand out.
Here, art blogger Lindsey starts with a black base of eyeshadow. She then combines various shades of green from a Kat Von D eyeshadow palette with a pure white eyeliner to bring a St Patrick’s Day glow to her look that really stands out from the crowd.
