Pink lipstick recs for NC45?

[ginagate]

I'm trying to break out of my Nude/red lip rut for spring. But it seems that every pink I've tried turns fuschia on me! While I've seen some girls rock the bright lip looks really well, it's just not my thing -- especially for work. I'm intrigued by pinks like NARS Dolce Vita (which I'm not sure will even show up on my naturally pink lips, but it sure looks pretty in pictures) and the more berry pinks in the Bobbi Brown Raspberry collection.

I'll admit to being color-shy, but I'd really like to branch out. I'm an NC45 and wear glasses (which is why i don't wear much eye makeup).

Any reccomendations on pink lip colors would be greatly appreciated -- and any tips on how to (gently!) break into using more color would be as well.

Thanks!

I love Astarte Cosmetics -
#17- Godiva - Which is a bronzy mauve.
#14 - Decadent - which is stunning soft pink.

Try MAC Lip Gelee in Slicked Pink! I'm NC45 too and its my fave!

MAC Twig, Amorous and Capricious are heavier pink browns that show up. NARS Pigalle is an incredible "pink chocolate" , NARS Russian Doll is a brown boysenberry, and semi matte-it really shows up, Givenchy Mystic Pink is a pink brown-but has more gloss, Vincent Longo has two dusty pink browns that are opaque-Grace and Sexy Lady.
