Looking for this lip colour

Probably not Jaybird or Fig Leaf. Both of those are more in the nude range. I would lean toward Damsel or Berry Nice.

Thanks! Which of these are more pigmented? Im afraid the sheerer ones will be too sheer.

Specific lippie shades are almost harder to match to you than foundation. We all have such varying pigmentation and coloring in our lips, too. That is why my swatches are not on lips (they really are just for comparison to each other, not for how they will look on.)

I know for me, the color that makes my lips look like I have eaten a popsicle the most is Damsel. It is a pink that is not in line with my natural lip color. Ashley, Rare Berry, and Soft that Xarata mentioned 'blend' into my natural color better. Still, if you have very pigmented lips, it might not work for you (I am probably mid-pigmentation on the reddish side). For you it could be Berry Nice or Rare Berry. I know you are looking for something very specific, so it will take a little experimenting. I can only suggest what I feel is the closest. You may end up with colors you still like, but not quite the red you are looking for.

I would say definitely rare berry, sheer but gives the look you are going for.
