Makeup advice with black and nude dress

What would you do for makeup with this dress?

It's based on a former Karen Millen dress, plain black and not fancy with a cross over V neck and medium straps for sleeves (have had this years). On the crossover seam, I have now added a little gold fan that has black and nude/champagne ribbons hanging from it, and a nude/champagne silk rose with a black silk knot centre. I think that's going to be fixed further up nearer a strap. It's a little bit 1920s/Oriental style. I'm a little bit early 40s and pale with blue eyes - I don't wear makeup, usually because it can irritate my eyes. Would love any thoughts from people who are good at this.

Do you have a picture of the dress?

If you have blue eyes purple, pink and gold/pink shimmer shadows look great.

I’d go with a nude or really light pink lipstick and for the eyes some neutral pinks and rose gold champagne colours. Winged eyeliner also looks great on pretty much everyone.

Hope this works. I haven't decided on the position of the flower yet.

I'd usually wear green, so have things like light greens and greys for eyeshadow.
