Like clothes, makeup has gone through many changes throughout the decades. We saw blue eyeshadow take over in the 1980s, in the early 2000s punk dudes wore black eyeliner, and now we are in the 2020s, where neon makeup is becoming the latest trend.

Most of the time, we opt to wear subtle makeup. It’s always great when you can wear makeup, but it doesn’t look you are wearing any makeup. Nothing beats the all-natural look—that’s for sure.

Until now! Several A-list celebrities have started to paint their eyelids with bright neon colours, and they look good. It’s definitely the new ideal look for a night out!

Who is the biggest name on the neon-makeup-celeb list? The one and only, Rihanna. And you know if the fashion designer rocks neon, it’s cool to rock neon. She’s like the Regina George of celebrities (except one thousand times nicer).

Emma Stone has also tapped into this new makeup trend. Her makeup artist, Rachel Goodwin, lined the actress’s eyes with bright green eyeshadow! And she looked absolutely gorgeous.
