I would go with a light pink for the lilac, and a pretty red for the navy blue. Brunettes can pull off natural red lip tones. :)

it really depends on your skin color and the shape of your lips. some colors just do go.
Reply:If you are wearing a strong eyeshadow I would recommend a slick of pink tinted lip gloss. It will look subtle but modern, if you go heavy on lipstick you could look dated.
Reply:I think if you are matching eyeshadow to your clothes then you should go for a natural mouth. If your eyeshadow is not natural pinks, browns, or golds, then it is better to have understated mouth. Remember adorn either your eyes or your mouth, Not both.





In both cases, I would suggest wearing a lipstick colour close to your own lip colour just alittle more brighter.





Otherwise just put on pink gloss, or clear gloss or anything that looks natural on you.
Reply:no, no, no, no, you don%26#039;t match the outfit you balance and blend and accent, offset, dramatize or soften





I think black looks really sexy on lilac


and smoky browns with navy





I%26#039;ve always been more into nude lipsticks like Pamela Anderson
Reply:The general rule for make up is either to go stronger on the eyes or stronger on the lips (never strong on both!)


With this in mind (and without actually seeing you which is harder!) with a liliac outfit I would go for a soft blue tone on the eyes and a raspberry toned lipstick.


For the navy blue outfit go for black eyeliner and mascara and a natural eyeshadow and a natural lipstick.





As you have brown eyes the general rule for enhancing your eye colour is to go for pinks,coppers and blues for the eyes,dark brown and black eyeliner and mascara and for lips you can go for browns,bronzes and raspberry tones.





I recommend visiting either MAC or CLINIQUE for advice on shades.
Reply:try a very natural shade like sugar cookie from benefit or any light browns if ur going all out wit the eyes keep lips simple

Reply:if your eyes are going to standout - use a neutral or nude colour. otherwise you%26#039;ll look like a retro 60%26#039;s teen with blue eyeshadow and ******* lippie. Stick to %26quot;show one asset at a time%26quot; like, if you%26#039;re wearing a short skirt - you don%26#039;t wear a low cut top too.
Reply:Berry shades are most common since they go well with almost every colour, depending on how dramatic u want ur makeup to be... red lips are best with darker colors where as a playful and softer look goes best with your lilac outfit. a color for such attire, i would suggest a shade of pink or berry creme lipstick. soft colours won%26#039;t make ur skin look so pale.. where as bold bright colors would contrast paleness...
