How to do neon festival make-up - without harming your skin
Festival season's here and neon make-up is everywhere.
Bright graphic eyeliner, vampy lips and holographic highlighter are some of this year's biggest beauty trends for the main stage.
But some of these make-up products, which are being sold by third-party sellers on online marketplaces such as TikTok Shop, can contain a host of toxic chemicals, warns the Chartered Trading Standards Institute, external.
So here's what to look out for – and how to stay safe while serving festival glam.
How to get the look: Dominic Skinner, make-up artist and judge on the hit BBC show Glow Up, came into the BBC's London offices to show us how to achieve the perfect festival look and make it dance and party-proof.
If you want colours to "pop", he says use a white eye pencil on the skin first and then press bright eyeshadows on top.
"It will make bold colours more intense, and last all night."
What to be aware of: Banned ingredients can cause bad rashes and allergic reactions, so check the label and avoid products that say they're "not for cosmetic use" - even if they say they're for the skin.
Also look out for banned colourants, like Solvent Yellow 172, CI 45161 (Basic Red 1:1) and CI 45174 (Basic Violet 11:1).
Be cautious of cheap products or sellers you've never heard of, says Skinner.
