Yellow eyeshadow: hot or not?

I was flipping through January's Vogue, the one with Angelina Jolie on the cover, and the "Command Attention" accessories spread caught my eye. The model's brilliant blue eyes are crowned by a particularly arresting shade of yellow eyeshadow. The color, MAC's Chrome Yellow, is worn with a pale cheek and lip and with Nars' brackish green Zulu nail polish for a look that is somewhere between 1960s mod and 1980s vivid excess.

As someone who once decked herself with a vivid swipe of sparkling emerald green eyeshadow (hey, it was the 1980s) I'm no one to judge, so tell me in the comments if this is a fashion try or a fashion pass-by.

you can imagine my comment, while I try and imagine what the makeup looked like- wouldn't this have been better if a picture had been included?

If keep simple, yellow eyeshadow can be a do. You must use restraint and keep the rest of you face very nuetral. I love the look with very dark eyes or really blue.
