I love the second & third! Yea I stay away from yellow for some reason.. I dunno I have red hair (maybe more almost strawberry blonde) & I feel it makes me look odd/sick, maybe I should try it out? These all look really nice though. 🙂

I don’t wear yellow eyeshadow. In fact I have never worn. Maybe some gold. Well I find the looks you post interesting! But not for me. Maybe it has to do with my skin, I dont wear yellow clothes either.

I can wear yellow eyehadow (green eyes) but not yellow clothing – my skin is NC15 with a yellow undertone, and it clashes.

My favourites are either Pikachu or Weepinbell from Shiro Cosmetics. Pikachu is a true yellow with some red glitter in it and Weepinbell has just a teensy bit of green in it. I’ll usually line my crease with some kind of gold (like Smashbox 24K) with Pikachu, or a green like Bohemian Chic from Sephora with Weepinbell.

I like to wear yellows in the summer, it really pops on tan skin. I only own 2 I think… The Lemmy on in the Kat Von D book palette and MAC Bright Future. The later is by far my favorite. I like to wear it as my base color.

i find yellow eyeshadow surprisingly easy to wear, and primary yellow makes blue eyes pop like crazy, on pale skin tones at least. i wear Ben Nye Sun Yellow pigment with Lorac Pewter in the crease with a black cat eye. it is amazing.
