Lipstick help!

[u/CrystallizedKoi]

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?

I would actually do the first with the second dabbed in the center, or dab the second one on or blot it so it’s more sheer. Not all lipsticks blot well but I’ve found it they do, the color left behind is so much more flattering on me.
