Perfect lip colour

my lips look so pale in photos. I wear light makeup everyday and would like to add a lipstick to this that just accentuates my natural lip colour. The only thing is that the ones I’ve tried have a slightly orange shade to them which I’m worried makes my teeth look yellowish. Any recommendations for a shade? I’m very pale!

I use a matte lipstick, the 2 most natural shades for me are a like a rosey pink or a very subdued pink/red. I apply lip balm first, blot my lips and then line them and add lipstick and make sure to give that a good blot too which dulls down the colour to make it look more natural and makes it last longer, for extra staying power I sometimes give them a dust with setting powder. For me lining the lips really makes the difference, but I do not overline them.

Glossier Generation G in Like makes my pale lips look "normal". It's cool toned.

What's your colouring like? Warm or cool? Or neutral? I'm very pale but very warm-toned so I can only wear warm toned lipstick. I do have to be careful to keep on top of my teeth whitening because it does accentuate any yellow tones in my teeth! Anything cool or even neutral makes me look like the living dead though so it's warm tones or nothing for me.
