BESAME Cherry Red Lipstick 1935 Vintage Shade, Cool, Ripe Dark Red, Great for Medium to Deep Skin, With Moisturizing Vitamin E, Satin Finish, Long-Lasting Lip-Stick Color or Matte Lip Stain

Not too deep like a dark red. Has slight hues of pink! Perfect color choice for me! It’s a ‘happy’ red. Soft and moisturizing. Can’t beat the price. I bought 2. One for purse and one for my home makeup tray.

I usually stay away from traditional lipsticks since they aren't long wearing, but decided to try it.9 hours later, it's still going. There is some feathering, but I used a lip liner, so may be worse without using a lip liner. Color is still vibrant. I did eat and drink today and there is some wear and tear on it from using straws and eating. It isn't very moisturizing though, and can feel gritty after a while. Reapplying another layer for touch up does make it feel grittier and thick. Probably would be good to remove and reapply, I just want to see how long it would go.Shape of the lipstick takes some getting used to with application but not a deal breaker.Over all, I love it.

The perfect vintage vampy lip! Smells great too.

I've been lusting over the entire line of Besame products for ages, but had always held off because spending more than 20 dollars on a lipstick that's on the small size seemed a bit indulgent to me. Not to say I don't purchase high-end cosmetics. I generally have to because my face and eyes are so sensitive that most drug store items don't really cut it.My favorite lipstick is Studded kiss by Kat von D which has a price point of about 20 dollars normally. It's creamy, long lasting, smells great, is cruelty free, great pigment, large selection of colors, and I find a tube lasts me a long time. Well worth the expense.This lipstick compares very well to that, and I expect it will last a while as well. Kat von D's red selection is fine, but it doesn't compare to the available reds in the Besame range. I love the era reproduction colors. The formula is heavily pigmented and long lasting (you should follow the instructions that come with the tube for best results. There's a learning curve with the shape of the product, and you really do need to blot. Makes sense. So did your grandmother!) It goes on in one coat. It feels lovely on. There's also the more ephemeral part about getting to use such a beautiful, glamorous product.My application of this involved a dab of foundation around the edges of my lips, carefully outlining with the corner, then filling in with little downward strokes from the center out. I blotted, straightened the edges, and dabbed a bit more on in the center of my lips. It looks lovely and has lasted through coffee and meetings so far. As with any lipstick, if you hork down a slice of pizza, it's going to come off. Oil will do that. But if you're just going about your day, you'll have great color throughout.

Beautiful shade, was perfect color for my wedding and felt nice. You have to be careful though, this stains like nobodies business so if you make a mistake applying it or kiss your fella you’ll have a hard time not leaving a red blotch wiping it off.

Amazing pigmentation and long color wear! I recommend using a lipstick brush to get the sharpness. The smaller tube is Blood red and the bigger tube is Red velvet.I personally miss the smaller classic tube design but still very happy with purchase. 💋

I ordered this lipstick in the shade “Red Velvet” after seeing it around online in various vintage themed reviews, and hearing that it was the color they used for Peggy Carter’s iconic red lipstick. The color itself is a beautiful bright red, and the packaging is absolutely lovely. Aside from those two factors, I am greatly disappointed by the product. The formula smears worse than any other lipstick I’ve had- it doesn’t dry on the lips the way most lipsticks tend to, and remains a strange tacky texture on the lips for hours after application. This causes it to get everywhere, and it leaves bright red transfer stains on anything it touches, so if you happen to accidentally brush a finger on it, it transfers all over your skin, clothes, ect. Overall, the color and packaging are nice, and it is great for a one-time photo, but if you are looking for a durable, long-lasting lipstick, this isn’t the lipstick for you. I would recommend colorpop’s “Snow White” lipstick as a dupe of the Red Velvet color if you are looking for a cheaper alternative with a much longer-lasting formula.

Besame is amazing! This colour is a red/ brown so it IS darker which isn't for everyone. There are instructions inside to get the most use out your lipstick and make it look it best. Use them. Trust me.
