I'm trying to avoid the over-makeup look. What are some good lipstick shades to wear with more colorful eye looks. I only wear cool-toned lipstick. KVD, Mac, and Urban Decay are my go-to brands. I just ordered the new KVD palette and the Vice 4 palette so I really need lips that compliment bolder eyes. Thanks!

Nudes or My Lips But Better colors are best for dramatic eyes. I can't really suggest shades since nudes and MLBB will be different for just about everyone but look for colors in those categories (:

I would have to agree with Alexis C. and go with light or nude shades. or even a soft lip gloss or stain.

MLBB is the "My lips but better" shade that Alexis talk about :) Which is also what I would go for with a colorful eye look! To find the perfect MLBB shade you have to look at your natural lipshade and find one close to that! For me, I have very light lips, they naturally don't have much color - so for me a shade like "Barely there" or "Naturally pretty" from essences is perfect MLBB shades!

Oh okay. I thought it was a brand or something. So I would look for a color similar to this?

Yes I would say to look for a soft beige/pink shade or a soft mauve/pink - both would be really pretty!

Creme Cup for sure. But I need to see them in person because I can't pull off warm shades on my lip because I have yellow teeth. I suck at telling cool from warm.

I think Cream cup would suit you :) You should also look at Faux or Honeylove I think they would be great MLBB shades for you :)
