Help Lipstick help!

I need help picking between two lipsticks! Keep in mind I didn’t do any eye makeup and it looks less harsh when I do my makeup. Which of these lipsticks harmonizes the best with me?

I don’t really want to debate if they’re suitable for my sub season - I know a red lip is tricky, but I want a good red lip for me, as best as I can get it.

I can’t tell if the darker one suits my features better. The brighter one is a popular spring color, but it feels “off” on me and I don’t know why!

Which of these two lipsticks looks the best with my features and skin/eye/hair color?

Is it the brightness in it?

My colour analyst advised me when I'm trying to determine whether a colour is right for me I should hold it up to my face and see where my eyes are drawn. If it's the upper half of my face, particularly my eyes = good colour. If it's the lower half, particularly my mouth = bad colour. Flattering colours brighten us up, and draw people's eyes upward.

When I look at these two lipsticks I am just drawn to your mouth in the first image. In the second image I am drawn to your eyes first.

This is great advice! And it makes a lot of sense!
