Bright Future - Yellow Eyeshadow
Who wears yellow eyeshadow? Odds are, not many people. Whilst I wear purples and greens quite confidently, yellow can be overwhelming and scary.
My theory for wearing a scary bright colours is:
With such a unique colour on my eyes, I wanted nude lips. I used YSL Rouge Volupte #2 (Sensual Silk), I think a darker brown would have looked nice too. I kept my cheeks bare with just a little bit of Chanel Bronze Universel. I did take photos of the full look but they were blurry, I am very anti blurry! :(
On another note, I removed the insert from one of my Mac palettes, and I fit 26 instead of 15 which is brilliant as I'm always trying to save space. I have also noticed this way that the colours really jump out and I can see the difference in all of them, as they are so close to each other.
Will you ever wear yellow eyeshadow? If so, how will you wear it?
My theory for wearing a scary bright colours is:
- Stick to one bright colour - No rainbow business!
- Tone it down with brown.
The yellow I used is Mac 'Bright Future' from the 'Style Warrior' collection, it's a veluxe pearl and has a subtle undertone of gold. I teamed it with Mac 'Bronze'. Below are some swatches...
Wearable? For me yes, I did go out in public with it. I like this look as you don't immediately see the yellow, it's only when I blink or look down, which makes it quite 'safe'.
Here is the order I did look in:
- Nars 'Smudgeproof eyeshadow base' as primer
- Mac 'Bright Future' e/s on eyelid.
- Mac 'Bronze' e/s on the outer corner and blended into crease.
- Urban Decay 'Bourbon' 24/7 pencil on upper lashline and waterline.
- Benefit 'Eye bright' to highlight.
- L'oreal Voluminous mascara.

I think it really suits you :)
you really pull it off :)
I like how this look is toned down to make it really wearable. xxx
I sometimes wear yellow eyeliner!
I do a line of purple and then on top a line of yellow. I know it sounds odd but it looks really cool!
I also do some cut crease looks with yellows and purple...more for party times and for when you are in the mood for it. XXX

@Schnelle Couture Mac palettes are already magnetised, I always get pan form eyeshadows which already have megnets under them, win win :) x

I love how you paired it with Bronze, I will have to try that combo!
Very wearable look, brown is always great to tone down those bright yellows, but my peronal favourite is a darker brown/grey shade, it makes it even smokier, which I love! Give it a go and let me know what u think!

I love your blog!! :)
