Alternative lipstick to Hot Emily?

Hi, I'm 42 and really want to start wearing a bolder lipstick to distract away from my puffy eyes and crows feet as a quick easy way of making me feel a bit sprightlier in the mornings!

I follow 40NotFrumpy on IG and was inspired by her look wearing Hot Emily by Charlotte Tilbury. I tried it on but the shade is a touch too orangey for me abs drains my face. I love coral but my skin is cool toned so in terms of anything in the red spectrum it needs to be cool toned / blue tones rather than orangey. I think 40NotFrumpy has yellowish skin tone which is why it suits her.

Has anyone come across a similar lip colour but suitable for cool skin tones? Does anyone wear one of these on a daily basis?

Have you looked at Max Factor Bewitching coral and Brandy pink?

Pink Brandy.

And an old favourite of mine Elizabeth Arden Neoclassical Coral

I wear Hot Emily in summer when I have a tan, and Miranda May in winter when I'm pale - it's a bit cooler than Hot Emily, but still quite
similar

Rimmel In Love With Ginger is a bright orangey red with a hint of pink, I'm cool toned (fair, blushes easily, freckles and dark hair) but I can wear this shade. It really brightens you up. All my recommendations I can wear.
