ASK A BEAUTY EDITOR: fuchsia lip gloss

Q: I like fuchsia glosses and lipsticks; however, every time I
put it on it never

looks right with my skin tone. Can you
recommend a fuchsia gloss/lipstick that works well with a warm tone? I am also very pale, you may need to take that into consideration.
A: I, too, like
fuchsia gloss. As it’s been documented,
I can’t wear red, so I veer toward balms with a hint of pink or berry.

With such a bold color like fuchsia, start sheer:
This lip butter from Korres is amazing. Cat’s favorite is
this bright pink lip balm from Tarte, which gets deeper as you layer it on. If you want a true deep fuchsia, try the
Nars lip pencil in Funny Face, which goes on matte but has a lipstick effect. (Cristina's been obsessed ever since she picked up this tip from our July My Maintenance subject, Erin McKenna!)
