2. BALANCE IT OUT

If you want to add a fun pop of eyeliner, then always remember to balance out your colourful makeup with a neutral lip, or if you go for a statement lipstick then keep your eye makeup minimal.

4. GO FOR A STATEMENT LIP

If bright eyeshadow isn’t your thing, a bright bold lipstick can often be easier to pull off and get away with if you work somewhere more conservative. Try a matte formula dabbed on for a ‘just bitten’ look which will give you fabulous colour with a subtle finish. If you try this look then go for a neutral eye with lashings of mascara for easy everyday glamour.

5. DESK TO DISCO

Test the makeup waters by amping up your makeup look at the end of the day, be it with a slick of gloss over a red lip, or adding intensity to your eye makeup. This mean people will get used to seeing you with a different look, making it easier to change up your makeup look everyday!

6. EXPERIMENT WITH EARTHY TONES

You may think that earthy tones aren’t exactly the neon colour pop, but this doesn’t mean they don’t add glamour to your makeup! The secret is in the shimmer. Go for a copper bronze, shimmering burgundy or forest green to add colourful yet subtle pop to your makeup.
