How did you find your red lip?

I seriously admire the effortless red lip look. Was on the train yesterday and a French gal wearing a v casual outfit and red beanie looked STUNNING bc her lip color tied it all together while elevating the look from casual to chic. I have a red lipstick but it’s so vibrant that it looks clownish on me. I’ve never been able to find the shade that looks good with my complexion. Who can I turn to for assistance? How did you find your perfect red shade? Pic for inspo.
