I have really fair skin with sort of redish or pinkish undertones, blue eyes, and light-brown hair. I really DETEST burgundy-family lipstick. it just looks too old and not fun to me. when i go light i always feel like i'm an old lady and it looks to frosty or something. a neutral almost tan lipgloss seems to look the best, especially if i have my eyes done darker, but sometimes its just too boring. i'd like to try something with more color but that isn't going to be unflattering with my skintone. any suggestions? can i do a pink? like a light pink? is it in style right now? thank you, and HELP!

Skin tone is a key consideration. You want makeup colors that match your skin tone.Here's how to determine yours:
Warm skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear green.
2. Gold jewelry is more flattering than silver jewelry.
Cool skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear blue.
2. Silver jewelry is more flattering.
I'm guessing that you are cool toned so sheer reds, lavender tints, light, pale pinks & nude pinks might work well for you. Cover Girl TruShine Lipsticks are a good bet - something like Fire Shine or Lavender shine might suit you. Check out L'Oreal ColorJuice in Watermelon Crush & Passion Fruit Squeeze.

A light pink would probably be nice. For a little more exotic, try for a frosted or iridescent pink.

try something with a orange undertone instead if pink. Someone told me orange looks better on brunettes.
