Splashy, bright hues are having a moment right now, and TBH we can’t get enough of them. If you dare to add a retina-burning dose of colour above your neck, yellow is a bold and invigorating statement that’s easier to pull off than you might think. Plus, science tells us that wearing vivid hues – and seeing others don them – can actually make us feel happier, and sometimes it’s just therapeutic to stretch beyond the expected.
So today, we’re zeroing in on yellow, which conjures visions of overflowing sunflower fields, sunny skies, and juicy lemons. From graphic yellow liner to poppy inner corner accent – here’s how to make the happy hue work in favour of you.
6 Yellow Makeup Looks You’ll Want To Recreate ASAP
For A Gigi-Approved Look
An inner corner accent is the best way to wear bold colours on your eyes. As the American supermodel demonstrates, it’s a fresh way to highlight the eyes and also makes the much-feared colour easy to wear. This look, created by Patrick Ta, placed the bright sunshine hue in the midst of an otherwise minimal makeup look. All you need to do is grab a yellow shadow and apply it to the inner corner of your eyes and you’ll totally stand out from the crowd.
Lemony-Lime Lids FTW
Yellow is an unexpected fave among pro-makeup artists such as Emily Cheng, who recently gave client Yara Shahidi a set of lemony-lime lids to match her draped knit top of the same shade. One of the easiest ways to incorporate the citrusy shade is to pop on a shadow or eyeliner. It takes just a few seconds and adds that cool-girl flair.
Just WOW!
A swipe of yellow along the lash line instantly brightens the eyes – and who doesn’t love this optimistic hue. We recommend using MyGlamm Eyeliners ‘coz they are so pigmented and glide on like a dream with a long-lasting finish.
For Just The Right Eye Attention You Want
Offset the harsh lines of eyeliner with delicate eyeshadow. Yellow and purple are a winning summer colour combination and we’re itching to recreate this look asap.
Cool-Girl Graphic Eyeliner
If you’re not quite sure about going full yellow just yet, dip your toes in the water with just a touch of yellow eyeliner. Not only does it look very of-the-moment but it’ll instantly enhance your eyes. You can either keep your lid naked or apply a natural hue that’s one or two shades away from your complexion.
One By The Euphoria Star
Yellow may be synonymous with “slow down” or caution, but if you’re feeling the yellow vibes then we recommend you don’t hold back. Marigold yellow eyes are a surefire way to make a statement that says, “I do what I want.” When creating an ombre eye look with the same shade family, apply the lighter one near the inner corner and begin the gradient effect with shades that gradually get darker towards the outer corner and crease.
I got sunshine on my mind!
