Bright Yellow Look

Don’t be afraid of bright yellow eyeshadow! This color can really bring attention to your eyes while still not looking extremely shocking. I chose purple shades for my blush and lip color to complement the bright yellow eyeshadow. Purple and yellow are complementary colors (a pair of colors that are of opposite hue on the color wheel). Complementary colors are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, so when purple and yellow are worn together they make each other appear brighter.

EYES
- MAC Paint Pot in “Soft Ochre” (entire lid)
- MAC Pro E/S in “Bright Sunshine” (inner corner, tear duct, and center and inner lower lash line)
- MAC E/S in “Chrome Yellow” (center lid)
- MAC E/S in “Espresso” (outer V and blend along crease)
- MAC E/S in “Ricepaper” (highlight)
- Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in “Black Ink” (upper lash line)
- MAC Eye Kohl in “Smolder” (lower waterline)
- MAC Prep + Prime Lash (top and bottom lashes)
- MAC Plush Lash Mascara (top and bottom lashes)

CHEEKS
- Benefit Bronzing Powder in “Hoola” (contour)
- MAC Pro Powder Blush in “Dirty Plum” (apply along top of cheekbones, starting on the middle of the cheek and then going diagonally upwards toward temple)
- TEMPTU AIR pod Highlighter in “301 Champagne” (highlight upper half of apples and up towards temples)

LIPS
- MAC Lip Pencil in “Magenta” (along lip line, then fill in entire lip area)

The picture in the middle was taken without flash, which I’ve included since flash can sometimes be harsh.

I wore a purplish fuchsia dress with gold decoration along the chest and neckline. I also ended up curling my hair and attaching a bright yellow bow to match my makeup.
