One of my style icons is Charlotte Casiraghi - she is truly chic, inspiring and elegant. I am always amazed at how simple yet classic her makeup looks are. I recently saw a photo where she was dressed up for the evening in a stunning teal-blue dress with chandelier earrings and a sophisticated soft fuchsia toned lipstick. I had an event to go to Friday and decided to copy-cat her makeup look. The event I was going to didn't require chandelier earrings, but I still wanted to channel Charlotte's evening elegance:
I started with a taupe shade on my lid into crease (think it was satin taupe by MAC), the used Blooz liner and smudged the liner with Copperplate shadow by MAC - Gentle mineralize blush by MAC was used on the cheeks. For that elegant evening lip - I first used MAC's Heroine lip-liner and then softly blended in Faux lipstick. It was the Heroine liner that added that extra depth and turned this otherwise, subtle smokey look into evening chic :)

This lip color seems a little too pink and bright for your coloring. I prefer the warm pinks, warm reds, some of the mauve colors and peachy colors on you.
Thanks for the feedback Sue - I did wear this as an evening look - still looking for that perfect pink-red shade!!!
I have difficulty with lipstick as well. I believe I am a deep summer because the softer lip colors that are not too pink or too orangey look the best on me.. The best reds are balanced and not too bright or too deep. I haven't found that perfect red as yet, but the sheer ones work best so far.
Soften the lip,with lilac pink color and it would be ooolala. You look great anyway, tho!
