It's Electric
If you've already experimented with blue and black lipstick, it's time to try radioactive orange. It's definitely no wallflower shade, but it is flattering, especially when paired with dewy skin. Pro tip: For a fluorescent finish, apply a light-colored foundation as a primer or use a white lipstick like Make Up For Ever Artist Rouge Creme Lipstick in C600 White, $22. It'll make the color extra bright.

Hello, Yellow
The old philosophy was that having yellow eyes was considered slightly better than having red eyes — with neither option being a good look. Modern makeup formulas and colors prove that yellow eye makeup can be invigorating rather than sickly. Go for a modern look by swiping a bold marigold cream eyeshadow on the lids and applying matching mascara on the lashes. Save the contouring or strobing for another day because no one will even be looking at it.

Color Clash
Built up your neon color confidence? Be bold with paint-by-numbers eye makeup. Draw, tick and dot contrasting tones including pastel and dark shades around the eyes. Top things off with a succulent orange lipstick. It's a loud look so it works best after hours or at festivals.

Two-Tone
The rounded shape of this electric blue eyeshadow has a 60s feel, but the choice of products makes it très modern. Choose a pigmented liquid eyeshadow for a precise, saturated finish. A touch of radioactive yellow on the inner corners adds even more drama. Balance the eyes with a pale pink lip gloss.

Pop of Color
Look closely because the fluorescent yellow isn't the only shade on the eyes. A dab of coral has been added to the inner corners. The combination will bring the focus to peepers no matter their color.
