I just bought my first round (five of them all reds) of these beautiful Besame vintage style lipsticks and I am beyond delighted with them. I'm reviewing Cherry Red first because it's the first one I opened with great anticipation. This shade is gorgeous with a deeper red hue than a classic blue based red.
It is so flattering on my very fair skin tone and I believe it will flatter any skin tone! It makes my lips pop with intense color that lights up my face and draws attention to my lips which is the effect I am going for. The formula is surprisingly rich and creamy and lacks no depth of pigment. Of course you can use as light or as deep of a shade as your heart desires. These lipsticks have a very pleasant scent and the package design is so elegant with an authentic vintage look with such attention to detail. Bravo! This was a luxury purchse for me and was worth the splurge to have something so close to the real era. I can't recommend these lipsticks enough

Cherry Red is a beautiful shade of red! It applies well, and it has decent staying power.

This is the 4th shade I got and the only one that got me by a surprise. It is not cherry in sense of berry red, but more dark cherry, almost cherry wood color with brown/beautiful red/bronze shine. For my olive skin, brown eyes and chestnut blonde hair it reads too dark and makes me look washed out. I believe this is a beautiful shade, but is best suited for dark hair or darker skin complexion. I compared to the images online from the previous years, and the way it looks on my lips and the swatches it makes in real life are darker and more brownish. It may be this specific batch (I got it in beginning of 2021), however the images online from previous years don't represent it accurately. Consistency it is smooth, goes on and stays on well. Does stain lips a bit. Smells amazing like all Besame lipsticks. To sum up, beautiful, but not for me.

The texture of this lipstick is very creamy and moisturizing. It definitely will transfer alot but if you blot it with a tissue it looks like a matte lipstick! I really liked the color of Cherry Red on my skin-tone. I am fair with neutral undertones. This color is what I expected the Blood Red color to look like, they are very similar but Cherry Red is much brighter in tone.
Ive added some pictures comparing Victory Red, Cherry Red and Blood Red. (Cherry Red is the one in the middle)

Gorgeous color! A true cherry red. Not too dark not too bright. It’s super sexy. Feels smooth on the lips. The lipstick shape makes it easy to get a perfectly shaped application. Love it!
