I have rosecea, so good skin days don't happen. But it also means that I can't wear too much, either.
I'm staying away from eye makeup - I have long lashes, and eyeglasses that make my eyes look smaller anyway. The chapstick, though - I have dark, dark lips, so avoiding lipstick is a good idea.
Yes -- if your lips are vivid enough that they stand out already, lipstick would probably be more trouble than it's worth for you, and chapstick or some other balm or gloss would do nicely.
If I'm going for formal but very low-maintenance, I put on lip balm or gloss of some form, and powder to even out the color of my face, and leave the rest well enough alone. My eyes stand out enough on their own, my cheeks will heat up enough on their own, my face color's a little splotchy so it wants something to tone that down especially around my mouth and chin, and my lips are already pink enough.

I've been seriously thinking about Bare Minerals.
