Russian Red and Viva Glam I really work well for me! And I have that same coloring as you. Have you tried these? If not, you might want to consider giving either of these a try!

I agree Russian Red is awesome, its a deep true red so i think anyone could pull it off :]

I'm an NC35 and I can't ever seem to wear red lips or anything remotely close to it...it makes me look darker and just plain weird.

Hey I read so much about that russian red and V-red, but how about ladybug? that one is a frosted true red, and one of the must haves for my B2M haul when I go to england!!

Ladybug is a very yellow red.
