What shade of white looks best on very pale skin with a slight yellow undertone?

Gaaah.

Imagine classic wedding dress colours...stark white, diamond white, ivory, champagne etc..

What would look nicest on very fair skin with a small amount of yellow undertone? It's pretty much just fair, but if you had to pick and undertone it would be yellowy- olive. But I still have pink cheeks and all.. sorta confusing. :))

Thanks! :)

Answer
I'm the pink pale sort, and my brother is the yellow pale sort. We're both really pale, especially me.

Stay away from stark white. It always makes me look bad and generally looks awful in pictures. I find cream colors look amazing on me and really complement my skin tone and hair (I'm a strawberry-blond/red-head/gold?.... I know that's not a conventional hair color, but it didn't come out of a bottle so I don't know what to call it. :/ ) I think cream colors would look best on any pale person, no matter what hair color you have.

I hope that helps!

What lip / eye color should I wear with a bright red evening dress?

I am going to a wedding and will be wearing a formal bright red dress. I cannot decide what type of makeup to do - color and drama-wise. I will be wearing my hair up, and it is dark blond. I have gray/blue eyes and naturally pale skin (although I will be getting an airbrush tan). Thanks, everyone!

Answer
I would try doing a taupe-y smokey eye and a pinky-nude lip.
Not too dramatic--you don't want your make-up to compete with the strong color of your dress. Try something like this:
