Those who know me best know I LOVE a red lip. It’s an absolute must & a staple for me when it comes to vintage looks. (And even when I am not trying to look like I just stepped out of a Time Machine.) I always have to have my trusty reds. I have many in my arsenal but none are as treasured or as special to me as Bésame Cosmetic’s lipsticks!
This particular lipstick in the shade “Red Hot Red” is an exact replica of a lipstick from 1959. This is why I’m so obsessed with Bésame’s lipsticks. Bésame ensures that colors are brought to life precisely as they would have been when originally released. Stand-out shades from past eras are searched out & then Bésame revives them for the modern-day woman. It’s pretty neat to think women in 1959 were wearing this exact shade, huh?
It’s the same for other shades like their 1946 shade Red Velvet, 1922 shade Blood Red, 1935 shade Cherry Red or 1969 shade Dusty Rose…I could go on. These lipsticks are long lasting, cruelty, fragrance, paraben, mineral oil, & gluten free! Even more of a reason to love.
Here, I am wearing “1941 Victory Red”.
Left: Swiping the lovely “1969 Dusty Rose” shade on. If I’m not wearing a red, I do fancy a lovely mauve or plum!
Right: Donning the moody & vamp “1930 Noir Red” which is a very deep blood red, almost plum. It looks brighter because of the editing but believe me when I say it is DEEP, girl!
As you can see, Bésame’s reds are PERFECT for the holiday season….as are their pinks! In the last photo, I am wearing 1945 “American Beauty” which is a divine magenta shade. I wore this one in particular for New Year’s Eve & it complimented the blue shades I also was wearing.
These timeless shades not only celebrate the beauty of the past but also empower us to express ourselves today. Each lipstick tells a story, connecting generations of women through a shared love for classic glamour. Whether you’re channeling the bold confidence of the 1940s or the playful spirit of the 1960s, these colors remind us that style knows no bounds.
