    I have a lime midi dress for my grad, with white heels and a white clutch bag. I also have blondey/brown choppy Bob styled hair.

    What colour lipstick/eyeshadow would go with this? Thanks

    I'd stay neutral on the eyes and maybe go for a slightly heathery or pink lip with no shimmer, Bourjois Rouge Edition is nice in Pretty in Nude, Rose Tweed and Pretty Prune are nice (my hair is the same colour as yours and I use these shades a lot).
    I wouldn't go for a bright eyeshadow simply because you'll be looking at these pictures in a couple of decades time, and colours date so much!
    If you wanted a more vibrant lip, Rimmel Kate Moss in 107 is lovely - a real pop of colour - and the matte formulation isn't drying.

    Thanks so much! I was thinking maybe smokey eye and hot pink matte lipstick? I really love the combination of pink and lime but I'm afraid it'll look clowny! Or else it could look fab and hipster-style. What do you think?

    Yeah I think a strong pink lip would look great, and a subtle/washed out smoky eye :)
    Enjoy your grad ;)
