See how these chic readers are sporting cute hues for class, and pick up a few tips for rocking your fave shade this fall!

2/9Do Fuchsia
The fastest way to switch up your standby statement? Opt for a bright color with pink and purple undertones. It’s a little less formal than a crimson kisser, but is just as high-impact.

You already know that rocking can’t-miss lipstick means you should keep the rest of your makeup simple, but you should keep things especially pared-down for a day of class presentations and after-school meetings. A few swipes of mascara are all you need to finish off this pared-down, yet impossibly pretty look.

It’ll stay put without touchups to distract you from your busy schedule.
