Lipstick for a ginge

So I've been on the hunt for a lipstick colour that will suit me, and for the last year I've been unsuccessful! So I'm turning to mumsnet for help. My style is quite flowery and flowy, so I don't think I want bright red, nor do I really want pink. I've looked at some corals recently but they all turn out bright orange as I've got to order them online! So what are your recommendations ladies? Will try and find a pic for reference.

This obviously isn't me, but similar colouring with the dark-ish Auburn hair. Don't like the makeup in this photo though!

Changed photos - there's no makeup in that one!

Beautiful colouring.
I'd try a glossy lip in peachy/ orange-red colours.

A warm pink. Have you tried pillow talk by Charlotte tilbury?

Check out best buds by nyx - it's a warm neutral pink - really flattering on me - strawberry blonde/caramel here.
Look at see sheer and crosswires by mac too

Second Pillow Talk by Charlotte Tilbury. Works well for me!

God her hair is beautiful.

Watching Your Home Made Perfect, the presenter Angela Scanlon with similar colouring had a glossy salmon pink shade on. It was lovely.

I have coppery hair, much darker than yours I think but I really like Pillow Talk as PP suggested.

WindFlower92 · 24/06/2020 11:22

Thanks all - will check these out! A good excuse to splash out on a bit of makeup Grin

@LadyEloise I was admiring her last night! She definitely suits pink, but I don't think I do sadly Sad I think her hair's a bit of a brighter orange than mine.

Be careful if buying a peach or orange shade- if your teeth are not very white they will appear more yellow with this shade of lipstick.

Good point @LadyEloise! I'm planning on getting them whitened at some point after lockdown.

I'm a similar colouring and I like CT's Bitch Perfect

Similar coloring here and Mac Faux and sultriness work well
