Recommend a lipstick shade please!

I'm looking for a pinky, neutral brown lip colour. Something that will brighten my face slightly but not be a brown or a true pink. A gloss or moisturising lipstick would be ideal since I find matte shades too drying. I don't mind spending money on the right shade.
In case this helps, I have a medium skin tone, dark brown hair with chestnut highlights and eyes with a bit of every colour in there. And I'm 42.

Laura Mercier Bare Lips would be perfect. I'm on my third tube. It's a gorgeous pinky brown neutral. Baby Lips is more pink.and Tender Lips is a deeper berry. I wouldn't be without any of them. They are moisturising and feel very comfortable.

Depending on your colouring maybe try Mac Twig or Whirl.

NotExactlyHappyToHelp I have both of those. They are nice but I'm looking for something more neutral.

Rimmel Asia might be up your street.

What about Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm in Whole Lotta Honey? It is neutral and moisturising and looks really natural while giving a bit of definition and colour.

I think the problem might be my skin tone which makes things look a bit orange. Any gold, medium brown eyeshadow or neutral coloured lipliner like Mac Spice look orange on me. Pink lipsticks tend to look a bit coral or vivid pink. Or maybe the colour in my mind's eye doesn't exist!

Clinique Black Honey might be nice?

You sound like me, spice looks orange on me too - try NYX Shanghai.
