Golden Yellow Glitter look using Aromaleigh

This look was inspired by Miss K's post. I've never done a total yellow look and figured I would give it a try. *shrugs*
I'm also trying to give my lashes a break from mascara due to the ton of Aromaleigh eye swatching I've been doing. It's causing lashes on my left eye to fall out faster so my lashes are shorter and more sparse on one eye. I can totally tell a difference between my eyes on close ups. Not a huge deal but it is kinda of annoying. So I got some Ardell wispies as they look more natural and are most similar to my real lashes when wearing mascara. I think they look OK. They were easy to apply and I hardly notice that I'm wearing anything.

eyes:
This one is with flash, trying to capture the sparkles on the outside eye/temple area.

NYX Jumbo Pencil in Yellow (applied all around the eye, rubbing in gently with ring finger)

  1. I really like this look! Yellow eyeshadows are my fav "not normal" colour (I love golds but people are more likely to wear those and look totaly past yellow making yellow AWESOME-O) teeheee

    This look is extra badass with the dark brows and hair. aw.some. :)

  10. Thank you ladies! I really expected to hate this because yellow is just one of those colours people don't like wearing much. But I do like it.
    Ha! Yeah, Beyonce's yellow look is similar. Didn't even think about that. :-)

  14. Only one other person (FrescoPhyrra) has shown me that yellow can be used for good instead of evil...you're the second person to show me it CAN play nice on your face! LOL
    This is a gorgeous look & the yellow is startling but so beautiful. That intense color teamed with the exotic eyeliner is stunning. I wish I could do liner like that, too. Color me jealous!
    Thanks for sharing!

  15. I think the only color I have out of all those is unicorn. LOL....LOVE the yellow on you, but with the yellowness to my skin, it sort of washes me out. Doesn't stop me from WANTING to love it though! Love the glitteriness!
