In celebration of the season 2 premiere of Agent Carter, let’s talk about the stunning red lipstick made famous by Peggy Carter (played by Hayley Atwell).
The lipstick we’re focusing on is the “1946 – Red Velvet Lipstick” from the vintage-inspired cosmetics company, Bésame. Hayley Atwell identified this exact lipstick on Twitter on December 4, 2014, sharing, “Here you go ladies, Peggy’s lipstick is Besame in Red Velvet x.”
If you haven’t heard of Besame, it’s a luxurious cosmetics brand inspired by the golden age of cinema. It’s a go-to for anyone wanting the glamor of old Hollywood, and it’s clearly a favorite among professional makeup artists as well.
I decided to test out the Red Velvet lipstick myself. Priced at $22, it might seem a bit pricey for some, but it’s definitely worth it. Besame’s Red Velvet Lipstick is cruelty-free and boasts high quality.
What’s great about this lipstick is that you don’t need a separate lip liner. The tip is sharp enough to line your lips, and then you can smoothly apply the lipstick. The red color goes on like velvet, requiring just one or two layers for full coverage. The color is vibrant and beautiful, just as it appears in the show Agent Carter. The camera doesn’t lie; it looks just as good in real life.
Having worn it several times, I can confidently say this is a wonderful product. Besame’s Red Velvet Lipstick doesn’t dry out your lips and maintains its color for hours without fading or looking patchy.
Overall, if you’re looking for a standout lipstick inspired by classic glamor, Besame’s Red Velvet Lipstick is the perfect choice! You can order it from Bésame’s official website or from Sephora.
