Neutral eye + red lips [five minute test run]

Hi all,
haven't posted an FOTD for awhile.
My uncle passed away recently, and my mom has been bugging me about what I'm going to wear to the funeral and stuff...I was thinking since the outfit is going to have virtually no color to it, I'd try a red lip. I did this in about five minutes because it was just a test run, so it's not that great.
I didn't put my blue contacts in either, so of course it'll look different then. I was planning on curling my hair aswell, so it'll just look better put together.
I'll probably do another test run of the whole thing soon.

I've never done the whole red lip thing and I'm not too sure how it looks on me. I used MAC's Dubonnet, do you think I should use a darker red in the future?

I didn't bother with foundation or concealers...so excuse my uneven skin :/

FACE
- Only CG's TruBlend pressed powder in translucent medium

EYES
- Faces e/s in White [alllll over the lid + lower lash line]
- MAC's Espresso e/s [in the crease]
- Bonnebell eyeliner in black ink
- Quo lashes #802

CHEEKS
- Elizabeth Arden bronzer in golden
- Annabelle blush

LIPS
- Random red lip liner that I got for christmas
- MAC's Dubonnet

you look very classic, almost pinup with the way you did your makeup. i think dubonnet looks great on you. i have it and i think it is a great red lipstick.

Thanks so much for your input, guys! I'll post a more polished version soon.
The funeral is Monday, so I may not have enough time for another test tun. Might try it out on the weekend, though. We'll see!
Not too sure how my confidence level will be though with red lips haha

You look great in red lips without a doubt.
Personally I would tone down in MU when attending a funeral though. But that's just what I think of as more appropriate.
