Im wearing a yellow dress to a wedding coming up and was stumped on how to do my makeup.

Any suggestions?

You know what, if you want to send me a picture of the dress, and a picture of you, I can design a look to go with it and film a tutorial for you. I love doing stuff like that and it would really be no sweat.

I wore a yellow dress to 2 summer weddings 2 years ago and was inspired by MAC Style Warriors collection that came out about month or so before. I made an attempt at erine1881's FOTD (I searched and she doesn't have the pictures for it anymore unfortunately) but here's what I wore:

Vibrant Grape eyeshadow in the crease and blended upwards a little (sub with any purple eyeshadow)
Impassioned solar bits on the lid (sub with Tempting or any bronzey-taupey eyeshadow)
Night Manoeuvers to define the crease (sub with Brun or any dark brown eyeshadow)
Eversun beauty power blush on cheeks (sub with Springsheen or another peachy-toned blush)
Gold Rebel lipglass on lips (sub with Instant Gold lustreglass or any neutral-ish lipstick/lipgloss)

Can you tell that I was obsessed with the whole yellow-purple-bronzey combo at the time?

Not sure if that helps or not but I thought I would share.

Browns with lilac, lavender, purples or a soft green and gold colour would be pretty. Purple always looks good with yellow!

My only concern with purple is, since she showed me the dress and I see how yellow it is, that it would look too Lakers. Does anyone else worry about that with purples and yellows together? Cause the dress is like, a vibrant golden canary. I'm filming a tutorial for her and I plan on using a dupe for paparazz-she and a nice green color. I like the way they compliment each other without feeling.. well.. basketball-ish.

how about a winged liner (black) and ruby woo matte red lips or the red lippie from peacocky. I think that would be sooo sexy!

It's still processing, the quality will improve in a couple hours. This is the look I designed based off of the dress with your skintone and face shape. :D

This is the exact look that I do whenever I wear pale yellow. Retro makeup looks really good with buttercup yellows.

The dress is a fairly almost neon shiny yellow. I would worry about the bright red looking Ronald McDonald like. You really have to work carefully with bright yellow, it's very easy to clash with a lot of things.
