Red and White Pairing a red lip with a pearly lined eye and black mascara is a combination that's gorgeous enough for a formal holiday event, but classic enough to wear any day of the year. Try pairing a true red lip with oversized lashes, defining the inner corners and water line with a shimmery white liner.

Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Vanilla, $28.

I agree, I wish I saw some pics of these colors on people.

I wish I knew what these looks would be like on someone...

I agree with everyone else, showing us pictures of the final look on someone would have been better, but they are still nice ideas. Just be careful about bright colors on more then one area on your face. Like the red lips and blue eyeliner may be tricky to pull off without looking like a clown. I suggest sticking with one focal point (red lips, smokey eyes, etc) then let the rest be neutral colors.
