When doing your makeup for an evening look, most makeup artists recommend that you choose either your lips or your eyes as the focus.Heavy eye makeup and dark lipstick looks something like the pages of Vogue circa 1984.
If you like intense eye makeup with layers of different shades, thick liner and mascara, then you are better off toning down your lips by doing a neutral shade or keeping them sheer and glossy. If you have great lips and want to play them up with a sassy red or deep plum, then you can use just a touch of liner on the lash line, and a neutral sweep of shadow. If the focus is on your lips, make sure to take care of them by moisturizing and exfoliating so your lip color doesn't look flaky on dry lip skin.
Here are some suggestions of colors for different shades of skin.

Here are some guidelines for choosing the right lip color for your skin tone.
Fair skin: sheer, light pinks look fabulous on fair-skinned beauties. stay away from hot pinks...too overpowering!
Medium skin: "warm" pinks with brown undertones work best on medium skin tones.
Olive/Yellow skin: deep beries and rich rose colors are the way to go. avoid pale pinks!
Dark skin: medium and soft, sheer pinks are most flattering. berries and deep roses also work as well.
Natural redhead: Pinks are tough for red heads. try ones with peach undertones or sheer glosses.
