What will match with this?

Question

Okay, my cousin has a wedding on April 24th. I bought this dress:
http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=409655&CategoryID=50687
but its an olive color. very very pretty.

I have light brown/reddish hair. Short hair actually. Kinda boring.

I have beige/nude skintone.

I don't know what kind of formal hair styles I could do with short hair.

I don't know what matches with an olive colored dress for makeup, should i do a brown smokey eye? black liquid liner? 

Also color of shoes, I'm thinking gold shoes for the olive dress. but not sure.

Can any of youguys show me kinds of short formal hair styles?? and makeup???

Thank you

that dress is great!!!! I loved the idea of doing the glod matched with the olive.....so here is what I found:

For your hair:
http://j.whyville.net/smmk/whytimes/img?id=10695&idx=1
its simple and elegant without taking away from your dress or accessories. Pin the hair back with a pretty gold pin or flower that is mall enough to fit in palm of your hand.

For your shoes: 
1. http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=438385
2. http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&langId=-1&storeId=301&productId=502110566&view=20&No=20&N=1000892+4294959927&searchUrl=/endeca/EndecaStartServlet%3Fview%3D20%26No%3D20%26N%3D1000892%2B4294959927&R=03202431
These are a little pricey but im sure you could find cheaper ones if needed. You dot want one with anymore straps than number 2 though because it will outdo your short dress.

For your makeup:
eyes: http://www.taaz.com/beauty/images/stories/featured/smokey_eye_makeup_with_hints_of_gold.jpg
this is the perfect smokey eye to match!

lips: http://www.walgreens.com/store/catalog/Lips/Liquid-Lip-Color/ID=prod382155&navCount=9&navAction=push-product
somthing shiny yes stay withing the pink-champagns color

nails: do a nude shade 

hope it helps!!!

That dress is beautiful! You can maybe curl it with a curling iron, put rollers in, or maybe do a half up half down do, or you can get a cute clip and pin the front portion of your hair.
Here is a few links for the clips, keep in mind they are expensive, but your going to a wedding so you want to look nice!

This one has the clips! ^^^

so does this 1 vvvvv (down arrowes)

And as for make up I would do maybe a neutral eye, with a bold (red) lip. Or do a smokey eye using a nice nude lip 

Neutral eye using MAC Cosmetics!

Lid:All that glitters (frost, also use any primer)
Crease: Wedge (matte)
Outer corner: Woodwinked (veluxe pearl i think)
Highlight: Vanilla (matte i think not sure)
Lips: Mac lipstick brave red
Lips: Mac Dazzle Glass In Love Alert
(any blush, foundation, bronzer, etc.)

Smokey eye:
Lid: Carbon,
Crease: Carbon
Outer corner: carbon
Highlight vanilla
Lips: Mac Myth Lipstick
Gloss: Babysparks dazzleglass over it!
With this look just wear carbon from lid to crease, it will turn out alot better!
Have fun withh your sister's wedding!

Very nice dress!
I was thinking for the shoes:
http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=438192&CategoryID=49451
I think either the black or silver would look nice.
