Eyelashes

For a fun way to try out the trend without having to go all out, start with your lashes. MAC Senior Artist Claire Mulleady sparked an internet frenzy when she created this striking multi-coloured mascara look. All you'll need to recreate the look is a series of mascaras in different colours – then work your way applying the colours to individual lashes.

Eyeliner

Don't stick to one colour for a dramatic winged eyeliner look - mix and match rainbow colours to make a statement. Liquid liner works best for this look as you don't want the colours to smudge into each other.
