If you haven't heard about the neon beauty trend [1] causing quite a colourful commotion right now, no offence, but um . . . where have you been? Everyone from Rihanna [2] to Shailene Woodley [3] to about 92,638 other people in New York City have been wearing a smattering of shockingly bright colours [4] in the form of eye shadow, lipstick, nail polish [5], and more.
But like all things bold in this world, there's the question of wearability — as in, how much can it be, really? The answer: blazingly so. We asked editors how they would incorporate neon manicures [6] and makeup [7] into their everyday lives to see just how approachable the trend can get — and damn, you can officially colour us impressed.
