TOP OF THE POPS

COOL CORAL
WEAR ON: Cheeks
SUITS: Anyone! A sweep of bright blush will create cheekbones to rival Kate Moss'.
POP TIP: "This is a strong trend, so stick to pastels for the rest of your look," advises celebrity make-up artist Cassie Lomas. A cream formula is perfect for shaping the colour into this '80s-esque sweep. Or, for a less bold look, smile and apply to the highest part of your cheek.
POP PRODUCTS: Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge For Lips And Cheeks in Calypso Coral, £15.66; Bourjois Rouge Hi-Tech Lip Tint in Rouge Futuriste, £7.13.

BLUE CRUSH
WEAR ON: Nails
SUITS: Those under 40 - we're not being ageist, but a colour this bright can draw attention to more mature hands. If you're self-conscious, opt for a paler shade.
POP TIP: You can bring these bold shades bang up to date with a shorter, squared-off nail shape. "Neon colours can stain the nail, so apply a protective base coat first," advises Cassie. A glossy finish can be too much for bright blue, so stick to two coats of matte polish.
POP PRODUCTS: Maybelline New York Salon Manicure Anti-Breakage Base, £3.99; Essie Nail Enamel in Mesmerize, £8.95; Barry M Nail Paint in Cobalt Blue, £2.95.

PINK PASSION
WEAR ON: Lips
SUITS: Pretty much anyone - fuchsia pink looks as great on fair complexions as it does on darker skin tones.
POP TIP: "Hot-pink lips are great for summer as long as you keep the rest of your make-up fresh and natural," Cassie says. Bright colours can bleed, so first line your lips with a matching lip liner. "When applying lipstick, use a lip brush to colour in lips from the outside in, then pat your finger around the lip line to soften the edges," she adds.
POP PRODUCTS: Mac Lip Pencil in Magenta, £8.81; Lord & Berry Vogue Semi Matte Lipstick in Fuchsia, £9.95; Stargazer Liquid Eye Liner in White, £3.

ORANGE OVERLOAD
WEAR ON: Eyes
SUITS: Olive and dark skin tones. Matte orange shadow is a great backdrop to youthful peepers, especially brown eyes, as it deepens them.
POP TIP: Always use an eye primer first to lock in colour. "Pick a matte, powder texture and look for eyeshadows with high pigments, which will give you a bolder result," recommends Cassie. Sweep shadow across the lid with your finger, then build up colour layer by layer.
POP PRODUCTS: Too Faced Shadow Insurance, £11; Barry M Neon Kohl Pencil in Orange, £3.50; Illamasqua Powder Eye Shadow in Roulette, £14.
