I'm same skin tone and I wear Mac Ruby woo (is v bright red) or their Diva or Dubonnet shade (which are more deep/wine red). sometimes I use Ruby Woo as base coat then pop one of the other shades on top if it feels too bright!

they will stain your lips because they are high pigment so you will need to moisturise well or use a lip primer/dab of foundation.

MAC's Prep & Prime for lips is good. Stops the colour bleeding too. Viva Glam is beautiful on asian skin. You can use something like Ruby Woo or Russian Red with their burgundy or brick lip lip pencil lightly over the whole lip as a base to deepen it.
