I'm not sure it makes a difference whether you've got fair or dark hair with that style of facial hair-- which if I recall right is a form of the Franz Josef, sometimes called "Friendly" Mutton Chops.
Speaking as a man with a beard-- a man who's worn facial hair for over 20 years-- I really can't say that the Franz Josef (or variants thereof) are particularly becoming on anyone. Is there a specific reason for this choice?
Personally, I tend to favor a simple, short, full beard. But I have in the past sometimes gone for the door-knocker (sometimes called a circle beard, or a full goatee). Granted, I'm biased, but these choices are simple, low-maintenance, clean, and becoming on nearly anyone. But if you really want something just a tad less conventional, one of my good friends is fair-haired, and he wore pointy sideburns and a horseshoe mustache, which was a very becoming look on him. I might recommend something of the sort.
