Dark and sexy on the eyes and nude glossy or pink glossy on the lips.

That all depends on what you want to do with your makeup. If you want to do a more dramatic eye, stick with a more nude lip. Neutral sandy pink glosses look good in these cases, as does clear or lightly tinted gloss if you have alot of nautral pigment to your lips. C.O. Biggelo MenthaLip Shine in 1168 would look nice with a bergundy dress, but would be sheer enough to be extremely subtle. If you want to make a statement with you lips then get a nice wine colored lipstick, but try and stick with a sheer, moisturizing formula. This will look much better than trying to get a really pigmented, matte lipstick to look good. I would get a nude lip liner and use that to color in the entire lip as a base, then apply a sheer coat of the dark shade with a brush for more control, blot, then re-apply. This will give you a nice even coverage without being too over the top.
Sometimes when your dress makes that much of a statement it is best to play up the eyes and wear a nude lip. This way the color of you dress and the color of your lips aren't fighting for attention. Playing up the eyes with a dramatic look will help to bring the attention back up to your face. Try a smokey look using shades of charcoal and grey or brown and copper to suit your eye color. Don't try and match your dress color with your shadow. This will be over the top and the goal is for a timeless, sultry effect. If you wish to bring the bergundy color up to the eyes, try and use a colored liner insead of shadow. The effect is more subtle and attractive.

Most of the other answers were kinda right yes play up your eyes but don't use black or gray shadow try a color that will accent the dress color, as for the lip color try to use a light mulberry or something that you can lighten easily never make the eyes and lips dark at the same time you,ll look like Dracula's.s bride. never wear Red or Brown with Burgundy .

Wear black eyeliner with eyeshadow that is the same tone as your dress, but obviously alot lighter. Then on your browbone, put on white shimmery eyeshadow. Its a classic look that looks great on anyone. For lipstick/gloss, you would think you would do burgundy lipstick..which would look good, but shimmery clear gloss with pink undertones would look even better.

I would try a darker shade--like a wine or raisin color. I also have fair skin and the darker lipstick does look striking!

I would go for a dusty pink colour and gloss over the top...just lip gloss is pretty boring and not very special. it will give a really good affect n look really sexy !!

Dark red can look great on you, but I suggest going to a make up counter to get the right shade. Take the dress with you!
