Pretty in Pink?

I recently wanted to start wearing lipstick and blush so I went ahead and bought a few E.L.F. blushes of course! I bought 4 but the one pictured was the brightest pink.

Pink Passion

Last month I had a bridal shower and one of my friends gave me a gift card to MAC, which I loved. I headed to the MAC store at the mall and told the lady there I wanted a bright pink lipstick that went well with my skin tone, she said this was a good one

Lipstick: Pink Nouveau                     Blush: Gentle             

Well I was happy my purchases until I was telling my mom about them and she said she heard a make up artist say bright pink tones don't go well with dark skins :(

I ignored it and though "it depends on how you wear it".

Well yesterday I was looking through my tweeter feed and saw this:

"i love black women..but yall gotta leave that chalky ass super pale pink lipstick alone. 

it looks ridiculous. so ridiculous"

I'm not black, I'm  latina but I get confused very often as being black so when I read that I took it as shes talking about me! lol I didnt ask her anything about it, maybe she meant a specific color? but it made me think twice about the lipstick I just bought.

Did I make a mistake with what I bought? is bright pink not ok for dark skins?

what do you think??

These were my inspiration, I hope it looks as good as this

 

Or better yet like this

 

  

I'm sure it wont look like Riris because the shade I purchased doesn't look similar but I'll play with my make up soon and post pictures of my look so I can get some feedback.
