Yellow eyeshadows Are you a fan?

I am seeing more and more of these yellow eyeshadows and I must say I am  not a fan and could never pull that look off. I would look like death (plus I am 59 years old). 

 

But I always say if a woman likes something and it looks good on her she should wear it.

 

Could you pull off wearing yellow eyeshadow?

I do use yellow sometimes. Never as my only shadow, but as a bit of color on the lid. Just for fun.

I am 58.

Yellow eyeshadow sounds hideous.  No, I would never even think of wearing it.  I also hate that reddish color eyeshadow some women are wearing -- very unattractive.    Let's see if we mix yellow and red together we have orange.  Yuck.

No cannot wear due to yellow tones in my skin.

No yellow eye shadow, white nails out of the 70's, or anything else similar!

 

I am often asked about my makeup, especially my taupe eyeshadow which is perfect for me since I wear SO much color!

I do sometimes.  I have a more gold color I use on my lid and then a very light yellow with some sparkle in it (I know, you hate sparkles) that I use underneath my brow for hightlight and with a narrow brush along the lash line just above my eyeliner.  In the crease I'll use a brown, so it really doesn't scream yellow eyeshadow. 

 

ETA:  I have green eyes and red hair.

Some make-up ideas look great on performers as part of their costuming.  Otherwise, not so much.

Yes, I often wear a pale yellow eyeshadow (like cream with a yellow tint).  It works very well with my light skin and hazel eyes 

 

I put either olive or brown shadow in the crease and the corner of the eye.  Learned this combo many years ago, from a Mary Kay consultant.  It still works!

Yellows and even some pinks make me look sickly.  I am fair with blond hair and I have bought eye shadows that just make my eyes look like they were crying (pinks in particular) or ghostly (light yellow).
