I was inspired by reader Dusty’s question about what was my favorite bright yellow eyeshadow to compile a top five of some of my favorite shades of yellow and orange! Hope you enjoy 🙂 I’d love to hear yours!

  1. Make Up For Ever ME400 Buttercup — a bright, shimmery yellow
  2. MAC Bright Sunshine — a bold, frosted sun yellow
  3. Sugarpill Buttercupcake — a bright, matte yellow
  4. OCC Mimosa — a shimmering tangerine
  5. ColourPop Sunnies — a satiny tangerine orange

Mimosa and Buttercupcake are so pretty and I love the names! I want them. But, i’ll probably get the MUFE since I have Colourpop sunnies. If I was a rich girl, I’d get them all. If I was a young girl, I’d get the other two! 🙂

Mimosa is so gorgeous! For me it’s a toss-up between that or Sunnies, only because I have cats, so I don’t mess with too many loose formula products…..you just never know when one might decide that that’s prime time to jump up on my small-ish bathroom sink vanity and sending stuff flying!
