Like doing a bright lip with pared back, golden tones.
If you're anything like me, you want to dabble in this new craze but not spend a bomb when doing so. So here are 11 beauty buys under $50 that'll help you get creative without blowing the bank.
1. Make your eyes pop with this BYS Neon Eyeshadow Palette.
If there's one trend that I am dying to try this season, it's neon eyeshadow. This palette makes it easy to mix and match colours for colourful eyes. Simply choose three colours, spread the mid tone across your eyelid, apply the darkest to your outer corner and crease, and apply the brightest one in your inner corner for some serious pop.
Buy from Amazon Australia for $30.88.
2. Or for eyes that literally ~glow~, go for this Afflano Pro UV Glow Blacklight palette.
In you want to take the neon trend very literally, this amazing palette actually glows in the dark under UV light. Umm, yes please.
And yes, this is a tad over $50, but for 24 colours, it's practically a steal.
Buy from Amazon Australia for $57.36.
3. Recreate these ombre lips using
Gloss is back, baby. But forget the sheer version that we had in the '00s — it's now heavily pigmented and here to stay. I am drooling over this ombre look by Urban Decay, which is as easy as mix-and-matching three similar shades and blending in the middle.
Buy each gloss from Amazon Australia for $40.93.
4. Or for a more low-key lip, try Peri's Ink Velvet by PERIPERA, available in both pink and peach tones.
Thank you, K-Beauty, for making this trend soft, feminine and very wearable. For best results with this lip stain, apply a small amount to your inner lips, before using your thumb to pat the colour towards the outer edge.
Buy from Amazon Australia for $28.74.
5. If you're vibing the coloured eyeliner trend, try this Maybelline Tattoo Gel Eyeliner in Rich Amethyst.
I don't know about you, but I am LIVING for a coloured wing. Trace your upper and lower lash lines using this purple gel liner from Maybelline, before slightly extending the wing towards your eyebrow.
Buy from Amazon Australia for $8.99.
6. For even more dramatic eyes, try this cobalt blue mascara by L'Oréal Paris.
I didn't think we'd see the return of this early '00s trend, but wow, blue mascara is suddenly all grown up. For a chic take on this look, pair with a bronze shadow and subtle brown liner.
Buy from Amazon Australia for $29.00.
7. If you want to add some colour to your hair but you're too scared to commit to a dye, work these neon clips into your look.
My suggestion? Work a side part and keep the hair off your face with two of these beauties.
Buy a 12-pack from Amazon Australia for $16.46.
8. For nails that shine like justice, opt for this neon yellow OPI nail polish.
9. For those looking for a signature bright lip, this Revlon lipstick is a winner.
I have about 50 shades of pink lipstick, but this is one I'm definitely going to add to my collection. A touch retro, this Lovers Coral lipstick looks amazing with dewy, glowing skin and a bouncy high pony.
Buy from Amazon Australia for $21.99.
10. For cheeks that pop, try this Saemmul blush by the Saem in Selfie Orange.
I'm a big fan of peachy tones on eyes and cheeks, but this K-Beauty number takes it to the next level. This blush works best with a medium-to-full coverage base so that the colour really pops.
Buy from Amazon Australia for $17.34.
11. And finally, for a serious glow, try this blush and highlighter palette from DE'LANCI.
No neon look would be complete without highlighter. Choose between either an iridescent or coloured look using this pink and peachy palette from DE'LANCI.
Buy from Amazon Australia for $39.81.
