ASK A BEAUTY EDITOR: fuchsia lip gloss

bquestion.jpgQ: I like fuchsia glosses and lipsticks; however, every time I
put it on it never simone.jpglooks 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. 

korres_quince.jpgWith 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!)
