Our coloring is very similar - my red hair will follow the same path as I go grey. My approach to makeup is to use as little as possible and pep up my pale coloration.
I agree about eyebrows. I keep mine invisible-blonde most of the time, but when I get them shaped, I feel surprisingly different. I should do it more often. I do have an eyebrow gel (like mascara) to add a bit of color occasionally. I use this, in auburn:

It's a bit of a pain to apply -- it comes out of the tube really thick on the applicator, so I wipe almost all of it off and use just a tiny amount.
I'm also a big fan of Clinique's Chubby Stick lip colors. It's more pigmented than a gloss, but still really sheer. So you can just put it on like chapstick without looking in a mirror or worrying about the outline. Definitely my type of low-maintenance product. Recently I've been wearing the Mighty Mimosa color (natural pink) which would look good on you, though there are also more neutral tones that you might prefer.
And, as another blonde eyelash person, I've given up on mascara except for special events. I just can't get a look that looks natural to me, a "my face but better" sort of look, because there isn't any mascara pale enough. But, I've started using a bit of light eye shadow occasionally even without mascara.
Basically, as you've probably encountered, really pale features are not what most makeup is designed for, and it's taken me a long time to find things that work with my face, not against it. Of course people can do amazing things with full makeup looks, smokey eye, etc, and there's no reason people with our colors can't wear those intense looks. But most makeup looks are based on the assumption that you have or want dark lashes. For myself I'd rather just amp up my natural look, and that turns out to be surprisingly hard.
