Every woman searches for the perfect red.
What most don’t realize is that the perfect red isn’t one shade — it's being able to adjust it.
With this trio, you finally can.
Raven's Black
Raven’s Black isn’t made with black pigment. Instead, it’s built through color theory, blending deep complementary tones to create a rich, dimensional black that deepens other shades without flattening them.
Worn alone, it’s dramatic and deliberate. Layered, it changes everything. Tap it lightly over Victory Red to deepen the blue base. Layer it over Rhythm in Red to create a richer, smokier brick.
This is the shade that gives you control.
Victory Red
A cool, blue-based red inspired by the strength and polish of the 1940s.
Victory Red is bright, clean, and confident. On its own, it’s timeless. With Raven’s Black layered over it, it becomes deeper and more evening-ready, without losing its clarity.
Rhythm in Red
A softer, warm-to-neutral brick red inspired by the Jazz Age.
Rhythm in Red is the kind of red that feels natural on your face. It’s rich, but never overpowering. It can be worn full for depth or lightly for a softer stain. Layer Raven’s Black over it and the brick turns deeper and richer, almost wine-toned, while keeping its warmth.
Our application guide has been used for decades on actresses to give them perfect camera-ready lips that last throughout a long day of filming.
1. Prepare Lips
- Make sure your lips are clean and free of dryness.
- Hydrate lips with a small amount of your favorite balm and let set for a minute.
- Blot excess balm and apply a touch of foundation to the edges of your lips. This will lock in the lipstick’s color and extend its wear.
- Draw in the natural edge of your lips with the Bésame lipstick’s tip sharp point. This will keep the lipstick from bleeding out of the edges of the lip line.
- Do not overdraw your lip line since this may create an artificial look.
2. Apply Bésame Lipstick
- Using the flat side of your Bésame lipstick, starting at the highest point of the lips directly under the nostrils.
- Fill in with color, working towards the corner of the lips on one side, then from the center out to the other corner.
- Apply one coat of color filling in the top and bottom of your lips.
- If you go outside the lip line, use your finger or a cotton swab to correct it and then blend the area with a bit of your foundation.
- Press your lips together lightly to distribute the color.
- For a stronger finish, apply a final coat in the center of the lip.
- Lastly, use a tissue to gently blot the lips to seal in the color. Blot twice. Add one final coat with one more blot to finish.
