If you are an African-American woman with yellow tones in your skin you belong to the warm skin-tone family, and this influences what colors look best on you. This means that the same clothing colors that bring out the beautiful yellow tones in your skin are also the same ones that you should covet when it comes to makeup, including eye shadow.
Purple Perfect
When you're an African-American woman with a warm skin tone that has lots of yellow hues in it, you are fortunate to be able to wear a variety of bright eye shadow colors that might overpower other complexions. The yellow tones within your skin look fabulous with bright purple colors in varying shades. Whether you want to be daring and sport a bold purple hue or go more subtle with a deep plum, both shades of purple complement your skin and yellow undertones flawlessly.
Go Gold
Gold eye shadow is perhaps the go-to color for black women with yellow tones in their skin; it blends in perfectly because of the similarities between the gold eye shadow color and your rich, warm complexion. From bold gold to soft, muted gold with hints of shimmer, every range of a gold shade looks breathtaking against your skin. It's also a great alternative to the basic neutral shades of brown, beige and tawny. You can wear gold in the daytime and definitely at night for a sexy look that is full of shimmer and sparkle, which makes skin glow as if you had your own personal spotlight.
Screamin' Green
The more green, the better. Green and yellow are colors that often go together, and it's no different when it comes to makeup and skin tone. Black women with yellow tones look beautiful in green eye shadow because it flatters and brightens up their faces. Whether it be deep emerald green or a soft sage hue, this color is definitely one that women with yellow undertones should always keep in their makeup bags. For super sexy look, pair a vibrant green shadow with a sexy gold lip.
Bubblin' Bronze
For a sexy eye shadow look that works beautifully with your yellow undertone but won't overpower the rest of your face, try a bronze shadow that's full of shimmer and sparkle and is always guaranteed to catch the light. Bronze shadow looks flattering on you because it blends effortlessly with your complexion while highlighting the yellow and golden tones in your skin. It's also a great everyday shade that can be worn in the place of basic browns and creates a smoldering, sexy eye.
