I have been wearing Besame Red Velvet lipstick since it was revealed to have been used on Hayley Atwell when she played Peggy Carter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is absolutely a favorite red lipstick of mine!
I may need to grab that Colorverse ink. I love how it’s a deeper, richer red than most!
I found Besame a bit before Agent Carter but I did make sure to get the Agent Carter set that they made: three tubes of lipstick include Red Velvet in a cool box with a hidden compartment! Also, I was watching the new PBS series Bookish and someone name checked “Besame Red Velvet” in a scene, even though it was not period for 1946 I appreciated the shoutout!
