"I remember the day vividly when I set out to create the Victory Red Lipstick. As the founder of Bésame Cosmetics, my passion for history and timeless beauty inspired me to capture the essence of an era in one powerful, elegant shade. This lipstick is a tribute to the courageous women of the 1940s, who donned red lips as a symbol of strength and resilience during wartime.
Rationing and lower production during the early 40’s made finding an original tube to duplicate the shade a treasure hunt that lasted for 6 long years.
Victory Red isn’t just another lipstick; it’s a piece of history that you can carry with you. The deep, vivid red is meticulously matched to the original Victory Red worn by women serving in the U.S. military during World War II. When you glide this rich hue across your lips, you’re not just applying color—you’re embracing a story of bravery and grace.
Every detail of Victory Red was carefully considered. From the luxurious, vintage-inspired gold packaging to the creamy, long-wearing formula, I put my heart and soul into ensuring it offers both beauty and comfort. The lipstick is enriched with nourishing ingredients to keep your lips hydrated and soft, making it a perfect blend of historical elegance and modern luxury.
Creating Victory Red was a journey of passion for me. I wanted to honor the past while empowering women today to feel confident and unstoppable. I invite you to experience the magic and legacy of Victory Red and join me in celebrating the timeless beauty that transcends generations.
With love and dedication,
Gabriela Hernandez"

Our application guide is modeled after a two step process created in the 1940s by movie industry make-up artists. It has been used for decades on actresses to give them perfect camera ready lips that last throughout a long day of filming. To maximize the wear of your Bésame lipstick, please exercise the following simple steps:
1. Prepare Lips:
Ensure 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 Lip Color:
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. With the help of CLASSIC COLOR by Bésame, you can now show off and enjoy your beautiful, full lips all day long.
