This rich magenta looks so pretty on the lips and cheeks.
These lip oils are smooth and moisturizing, thanks to hyaluronic acid, peptides, and evening primrose oil. Plus, they offer amazing color and shine payoff. This shade, Fruitjuice, is a stunning shade of magenta.
Lemonhead LA glitters are so fun to experiment with. This shade, called Wine Safari, is dark, brooding, and dramatic. I'm obsessed.

This shimmery magenta nail polish is universally flattering.
Kosas lipsticks are just as good as their lip oils, thanks to buttery formulas that contain botanical oils. This shade, called Violet Fury, is a bright fuschia hue.
You can even get in on Viva Magenta in your skincare routine. This exfoliating solution is the color of a rich merlot. It will whisk away dead skin and pore-clogging impurities.
Use this multipurpose pigment as eyeliner, eye shadow, or brow pigment. The super-saturated formula will stay put all day (or night) long.
For a more understated take on Viva Magenta, shop Glossier's cult-favorite lipstick in the shade Jam. It gives lips the prettiest flushed effect.
Fill your space with the spirit of Viva Magenta by shopping for a matching candle, like this one from Otherland. With notes of rosebud, peony blossom, and pear water, it's sweet and floral, and addictive.

Fun fact: LeChat nail polishes are highly pigmented and inexpensive, which is why they're one of my low-key favorite brands to use. This shade, Berry Sassy, is bold and impactful.
