Someone suggested this for colors that I can't quite pull off (for me it's blues and greens): Do a wash with a neutral color that you know looks good on you, then apply the "I'm-not-so-sure-about-this-color" (in your case, pink) on the outer one third of your lid. Do the crease and highlight color as you please.
Also, I have ruddines in my skin, and I've found that I do quite well with blue-based rather than orange-based pinks.
HTH!
