Red may be my signature color, but fuchsia is holding court as the season’s must-have color when it comes to makeup. Lipstick specifically.   So what are some of the best fuschia lipsticks? The shade may be reminiscent of the 1980s, but worn in a modern way can add a chic pop of color to your everyday routine.

As with any lipstick, be sure you properly prep your lips.  Smooth, moisturized lips will hold color longer and look fresher.

One trick is lathering lips before bedtime to let moisture soak in overnight.  The brand you use depends on preference.  Trusted Carmex works just as well as more expensive brands.   Philosophy’s Hope in a Tube doubles as both eye and lip intense moisturizer.  Combat fine lines around the lip area before they start with this cult favorite.
