Default What kind of eyeshadow & lip color should I wear for a red & white dress?

My dress is white & red and I'll use it for the prom.
What colors suits me best?

By the way, I'm fair skinned.
This is how red my dress is.

Additional: what kind of shade suits best? A light copper lipstick or a light pink lipgloss?

You should definitely use nude colors for make-up because

1. you have fair skin ( don't want to have to much bold colors or then, you may look like a drag queen)

2. your red and white dress are great colors but the red is a pretty bright color so, try some natural looking make-up so your dress can stick out as well.

Neutral shades for the eyes.such as taupes or browns or grays. Find a nice red for the lips. Go to the makeup counter (such as Lancome )or Clinique & try them on. You could get a free make over & buy some of the stuff & know that you will be looking beautiiful .

as a make-up artist, i recommend keeping it light and neutral. maybe a soft grey on the eyes or brown tones, and a soft gloss pink. id really have to see the dress and the shades of colour to help you more. if you dress is bold you dont want it "fighting" with your make-up.

The dress is very bold (and very nice btw!) so i think you should keep the makeup toned down. I wouldnt wear a lip colour but keep it natural maybe with a clear gloss. For eyeshadow i would choose a clear shimmer or go without and just wear mascara and eyeliner! I would go for bronze on the cheeks too and not blush seeing as its a red dress and where your pale skinned. Hope this helps hun x

I'd go for somewhat darker brown shadow - not nude and not chocolate
love the cute bag by the way - and if that's the same color then it's very dramatic, so you don't need the glitter and depending on if I'd go with darker shadow, then very minimal but visible jewelry
and pale lips
