Every season, there’s some color trend out there that’s getting all the hype.  And that’s of course where sayings like “Orange is the new pink” come from. (That and Josie and the Pussycats.)

At first thought, you may not even realize how much yellow makeup you really wear.  It may be some nice yellow/gold nail polish, or a yellow highlight on your lids.

In fact, yellow is used in a lot of makeup.  They add specks of yellow and gold to lipsticks, lotions, lip glosses, you name it.  But why is yellow so sought after?  It’s just a color, right?

As you may remember, I’ve been talking about color for the past few weeks and about how color effects mood and emotion.  I did red and green.  And now comes yellow.

Before you throw on that perfect shade of red lipstick, you may want to think about how you’ll be perceived.

Although you may not have consciously realized, color has a lot to do with how we feel.  When people see you wearing that red lipstick, red eye shadow, or even red nails, they will feel differently toward you.  They will get an emotional reaction based on that color.  Most of the time, they don’t even realize it.
