If red carpet beauty and recent trending TV shows mean anything, the neon eye makeup trend is not going anywhere anytime soon. Whether its neon graphic liner, vibrant eye shadow, or mermaid tears (AKA a pop of colour in the inner corners of the eyes) the beauty trend allows for self expression and creativity unlike any other — that's probably why so many people can't get enough of it.

But if you've never experimented with neon makeup before, your collection may be severely lacking in options — after all, a bold neon eye shadow palette isn't exactly a staple for most people. "From fluorescent pink liner creases to purple rimmed eyes, if there is one thing I suggest you purchase for your Spring makeup kit, it's a bright coloured eye shadow palette," said Deney Adam, Ulta Beauty's pro team artist.

In need of a few basic product recommendations? Adam is sharing his picks, along with a step-by-step tutorial for rocking the neon colourful eye makeup trend, ahead.

Step #1: Prep the Eyes

Ultra-pigmented eye looks call for an eye shadow primer to hold the colour in place. "Dab a touch of the Urban Decay Cosmetics Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion ($24) over your lids, to prep for 24-hour wear and crease-free eyeshadow," Adam said. "The polymer technology fills in any imperfections on the skin's surface, so it's a must before any eye shadow application."

Step #2: Conceal Under Your Eyes

With all eyes on you, a little concealer can go a long way. "Apply Tarte Cosmetics Shape Tape Contour Concealer ($27) under your eyes to brighten and to hide the appearance of fine lines and dark circles," Adam said.

Step #3: Apply Your Neon Shadow

Armed with the brightest neon palette you can find, like the Lime Crime Venus Vivid Pressed Powder Palette ($38), pick what look you want. "Depending on what eye look you want to create, use a brush-size accordingly (for example, a neon corner crease, I would use a wet liner brush)," said Adam.
