I solved the Audrey Hepburn Lipstick Mystery (Which lipstick did she wear?)

    Hello lovelies, today I will be diving into the mystery of what lipstick Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
    "Hand me my purse, will you, darling?" Holly says, interrupting Paul, "A girl can't read that sort of thing without her lipstick."
    Breakfast at Tiffany's is a 1961 American romantic comedy film directed by Blake Edwards, written by George Axelrod, and starring Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, a naive, eccentric café society girl who falls in love with a struggling writer. It was adapted from Truman Capote's 1958 novella of the same name. On October 5, 1961, Paramount Pictures released it in theatres to critical and commercial acclaim.
    This scene from Breakfast at Tiffany's will forever conjure up images of a heartbroken Holly Golightly applying her signature shade of salmon pink lipstick in the back of a taxi.
    If you're a fan of Audrey Hepburn or simply just a fan of Breakfast at Tiffany's, you're aware that Golightly's lipstick has caused quite a commotion. Bloggers and Reddit threads have gone crazy trying to figure out who made her characteristic salmon pink and what shade it is.
    As an inquisitive fan, I searched the internet for lipstick and learned about others that were similar to Golightly's shade. I've deconstructed the discussion and compiled a list of top-recommended hues so you can get her characteristic salmon-pink pout, too.
    This is the lipstick that shows up as Golightly's favourite shade when you conduct a fast google search. However, whether Revlon's Pink in the Afternoon is the correct colour is debatable. Let me explain it to you in more detail...
    When you look at Pink in the Afternoon, you'll see that it's not nearly as peachy or salmon-coloured as Golightly's. But that isn't even the most pressing worry in this case.
    A UK-based cosmetics artist, Lisa Eldridge, purchased Hepburn's gold Cartier lipstick container at a Christie's auction. She found a small remnant of one of Hepburn's last lipsticks in the case when she picked it up. Eldridge swatched the lipstick, produced her own batch, and described it as a "genuine salmon pink," alluding to a scene from Breakfast at Tiffany's that was cut from the film.
    Eldridge claims in her video announcing the lipstick holder that the shade does not come from a brand that begins with the letter "R," and she vows to take the shade's name and creator with her to the grave.
    I was about to give up on my search at this point, but then the plot deepened.
    Revlon shared a shot of Richard Avedon, the photographer behind the majority of Revlon's 1980s lipstick advertising, and Audrey Hepburn on Facebook in 2019, wishing Avedon a happy birthday. When a follower inquired about the allegations surrounding Revlon's Pink in the Afternoon, the Revlon account replied, "the rumours are accurate."
    Perhaps Eldridge has a different shade of lipstick in Hepburn's lipstick case?
    Other Reddit postings claiming that Pink in the Afternoon was released in the 1980s, decades after Breakfast at Tiffany's, can be found if you follow my internet trail. It's also worth noting that Golightly's lipstick tube was gold, whereas Revlon's lipsticks are packaged in black bullets.
    After doing some additional research, I discovered Audrey was a part of the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick campaign in the 1980s, and she was seen wearing Pink in the Afternoon for an ad. A remark at the bottom of the ad confirms her lip and nail colour.
    Whether or not we'll ever know for sure if Holly Golightly wore Pink in the Afternoon, we can still rock the lip colour knowing that Audrey Hepburn did.
    Eldridge produced a limited-edition lipstick called "Go Lightly" in her Summer 2019 Lipsticks launch after revealing that she acquired Hepburn's lipstick container. Eldridge still sells a gloss in the same colour, even if the lipstick is no longer available. The item is defined as follows: "a coral tint that is insanely 'salmon pink,' inspired by one of Lisa's old shades. Reminiscent of Hollywood in the early 1960s."
    Eldridge said she'd never reveal the original manufacturer or name of Hepburn's lipstick, but she did provide admirers with a fresh colour match to the original that she has.
    "Eccentric" by Estee Lauder
    Some believe this Estee Lauder shade has more colour than Revlon's "Pink in the Afternoon," but it's still not as salmon as Holly Golightly's original pout.

    Hepburn was a massive fan of Estée Lauder products, writing in a letter, “I start and end my day with you.” One of the baby pinks Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany’s was rumoured to be a Lauder shade- either the now-discontinued Mocha Pink, or the lipstick in colour 260, Eccentric.

    I saw that same information that Revlon had confirmed that the color was Pink in the Afternoon. It actually pulls peachy on me and on several other people that I have seen review it. Also, I heard that Audrey had several jewelry quality lipstick tubes, some jeweled, that she refilled with lipstick over and over again. So Lisa Eldridge may not have found Pink in the Afternoon at the bottom of the one she bought but it was just the last one that was in that one, not necessarily the one from 1961!

    the way things look in real life is often very different to how they appear on film. the bright red ruby slippers in The Wizard of Oz are dark burgundy in real life for instance. It could well have been that Audrey's lipstick was pink irl, but the lighting and film made it look salmon.

It’s very likely MF Roman Pink was worn by most Hollywood stars at some point. I managed to buy one. It’s a lovely coral pink.. just like this. I have my suspicions that AH lipstick could be MF Roman Pink

    Revlon had the gold Futurama type tubes back then? I’ve always thought it was blasé apricot.
    original Persian Melon was more coralish, salmony. It became blasé apricot and Persian melon became more hot pink. But those salmon/coral/peachy shades of that era were amazing.

    I don't know if the actual lipstic brand Holly Golightly holds in her hand can be identified, but the film was shot in Eastman Color and the physical film did fade and change in color over the years. What we see these days is a restoration based on the original negatives. It is very good, but I think the film medium in itself and the restauration process can show us a slighly different shade than what Audrey wore during the shooting of the film. Film shown on the screen is once or twice removed from real life. Lisa should really make a new batch of her Go Lightly lip stick! Funny how little mysteries like this catch our attention :- )

    We have to take into account that maybe pink in the afternoon or whatever color it actually is in BAT probably pulls more coral on Hepburn because of her undertone. The same color can pull different ways depending on who has the color on their lips. Lip pigmentation also affects things too. Also lip liner - if those were used back in the day - could also modify the way a color looks.

  • @Hevynly1

    I don't know if Lisa has the one from the film - it may have very well been just a shade Audrey really liked - but whatever she has must still be sold in stores, otherwise she would have let us know her findings. You could research all the salmon pink shades every manufacturer makes and see if you can find the years they were created. You might be able to narrow it down to a handful of options.

    "So why does it look different then? Eh, smart ass?" Because BAT's was shot in Eastman Kodak color, notorious for degrading over time. "Pink In the Afternoon" was duped from the original tube. "HOW DO YOU KNOW???" *An old NDA prevents me from answering that.*
    I don't know who Lisa Eldridge is and that really doesn't matter either. If they're using an original 50 year old tube of lipstick from the 60's the color would've changed by now as well.
    The bottom line is: If you like the pink color, wear the pink color. If you like the coral color, wear the coral color. They're both pretty. 😘

    Lovely video! I actually think the lipstick could have been Revlon’s Blase Apricot which was around in the 50s, and was a top seller for revlon in 62, a year after the movie was released. Blase Apricot had much more of that orange tinge to it than Pink in the afternoon, which was released much later. Unfortunately revlon discontinued Blase Apricot at some point in the early 2000s. The only similar color they have to it is coral berry, which is a bit darker. Coral berry has an odd texture though, and mac Vegas volt is the closest dupe to it, although more opaque. Mac used to have the color cross wires and ravishing which were a bit closer to Blase apricot.

    Hi, My names Jordan and I just want to say that I really love your videos and I really like you. Im a vintage movie addict and everyone tells me I was born at the wrong time. I love how much time, effort and research you put into everything you do. Watching your videos make me happy and makes me feel like I have gone back in time and that youtube was available in the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s. I also love how everything you talk about you now exactly not what your talking about, a lot of people nowadays are like "I love Marilyn Monroe I just love the 1920s when she was around" 😩😩 You are always accurate and you can tell you have a passion and love for what you do! so thank you so much please dont stop❤❤❤

    I think what you and Lisa are both missing is the concept of Ph balance in the skin and skin tone. Both you and Lisa are cool toned, so naturally that coral pink from Revlon is going to be pink cool pink. I wear Love In the Afternoon and because I am olive and have alkaline skin I get the perfect salmon pink.

      I thought the exact same. Lipsticks drastically change in color depending upon your skin tone. My favorite color is Lolita by Kat Von D, it's a lovely mauve color on me. But on my mom who is darker skin tone it looks bright pink!

    It actually could be Pink in the afternoon, but when she used it in the movie it had another name. Also, it could pull corally on the screen wither because of technicolor or recolor of the movie for new media. Also, is so annoying that Lisa is hiding the shade from all of us!

  • @canadianjaneoriginal
    @canadianjaneoriginal 2 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    When I first saw Lisa’s video I was a bit angry because yes she spent 25,000 GBP on it, but she dissected it to replicate it and I knew it was a Revlon. Sorry but, I think she fibbed.

    • @MielR

      There’s a lipstick of hers that was auctioned a few years ago (gatekeeper-free lol) , it’s a Revlon shade called “Bachelor’s Carnation”. Revlon should definitely re-release it! Besame recreated the packaging for their Marilyn collection and *I think* it could possibly be what they based “Carnation Red” on since the collection was based on her personal items

    • @chipsahoy6289
      @chipsahoy6289 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@oliolsson2916 it was. Most of the collection were recreations of products that were found in marilyn's makeup bag that she brought with her to film sets, and revlons "bachelors carnation" was one of the many things in the bag😊😃

    I think the EL and the Revlon are the most wearable on my coloring (I am a very fair-skinned blonde). The shade Audrey wore is gorgeous, but every time I have tried on something close to that, I get totally washed out. I am so glad you show different versions of the iconic shade, so that we can all find something that will suit us!

  • @holigatis7588
    @holigatis7588 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think its Estee Lauder because if it was from a brand that was discontinued she would just say it but since the brand is still around she wouldn't be able to make money off of it. I bought her Dance Card lipstick. Its beautiful but sometimes it looks a lite bright lol. There was a shade from the 60s called Peach Coral. It might be that one.

    I think that the shade was "Blasé Apricot." My late mother imitated Audrey Hepburn, and that was her favorite shade. The closest color currently available on Revlon is probably Coral Berry. HTH.♥

  • @luckyrabbitnumber
    @luckyrabbitnumber 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    That’s greedy of Eldridge. Who knows what she owns. We can’t even be sure at all that what she obtained is the lipstick is the same one as Audrey used in the movie. Maybe Audrey just loved those pinks because those looked good on her.
    Wouldn’t it be funny Audrey herself had forgotten what she wore? Sixty years ago she was just filming a movie and being herself.

    I think the lipstick audrey worn is estee lauder one. I watch the film again, and slow the video, it's a gold tube with some ellips , and gold tube. I think it's an estee lauder lipstick that audrey use in that film.

    • @ginaazriana

  • @sunshinejewel2952
    @sunshinejewel2952 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I’m glad you mentioned technicolor because the camera changes the color of things and like Chanel 5 perfume the formula and color of the lipstick is probably different from the 60s. I always believed it was Estée Lauder because the packaging in the film looks just like it. But if revlon confirmed it, I believe it. Also, skintone matters as well on how makeup looks.

  • @missmm1302
    @missmm1302 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    This is a video I’ve been waiting for . I’m so happy you were the one to do it on this subject Laura.
    I will preface this by stating that I greatly respect and admire Lisa Eldridge as an artist and creator.
    I am however very disappointed that given the enduring popularity of Audrey Hepburn,her lipstick in the shade “Go Lightly “ has not been restocked. I’m more disappointed and frustrated that she has chosen not to reveal the brand and shade of the lipstick she purchased at the Christie’s auction. Perhaps Christie’s might be able to divulge that information on the lipstick.
    I don’t believe that revealing this information would have had any negative impact on the sales of her own lipstick version.
    I have come across a sheer lipstick by Gucci “No more Orchids” which might also be a dupe. However, I think Vintage Doll cosmetics is a faithful shade to the one shown in the film.
    Well done Laura for another very well researched video💄💄💄💄💄💄

    @danielledavis5663 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was a really fun video. I am going to buy some vintage doll cosmetics because her shades are beautiful and love supporting our fabulous Ms. Laura. What a lot of ppl dont know is there are only a handful of manufactures that make commercial cosmetics so there could be a lipstick shade with the same formula but just different brand name on it. So those shades could be exactly the same.

    • @oliolsson2916
      @oliolsson2916 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s really only true if it’s private label. I used to work for a manufacturer that made products for a lot of mid-range brands. Everything is produced very separately. Brands also work with several manufacturers, so even if it’s confirmed that two brands have blushes made in the same place, it’s possible that their lipsticks are made by completely different manufacturers. A lot of people also think if the components look the same, they are private label or made in the same factory, but that isn’t necessarily true either.

    Hi Laura - lovely video 👍 It's a fascinating subject isn't it!
    I've heard that Lisa Eldridge, due to popular demand, is bringing back her Go Lightly lipstick soon... so if you do order a Go Lightly lipstick from LE, it may be worth updating your comparisons at that point... but if Audrey is like me (& possibly like a lot of us!), she would have had a handful of 'go-to' shades that were her favourites to wear day in day out, and from a variety of brands too... and I guess it could have been any one of her favourites in the film :) Anyway - it's a fascinating topic for sure 💟

    Very nice video! I have both Pink in the afternoon and Lisa Eldridge version. I love the Revlon one for daily wear, I think it matches my skin really well. The LE one is supposed to be based on the one she has from Audrey, which doesn’t mean it was used in the movie, it is more salmon, beautiful packaging and really interesting color. I understand she doesn’t want to share the real lipstick, it took her a lot of work to analyse and find out a similar recipe, so sharing it would be like sharing Coca Colas recipe…

    Thank you for the fun video! On my screen there was a difference in the first two samples, with the Revlon being a bit darker but less color saturated than the Estee, but both look very 1980's to me. Your lipstick looked the most accurate and best one worn. Revlon makes a salmon color called Siren, but it still doesn't look like the 1960s.

Who knows the reason why this LE will take a lipstick color(the very recipe) for that color the late Ms. Hepburn wore in the film, to her grave- that's very bizarre. Anyway, they're all pretty colors and will try out soon enough! Anyway, a good movie 🎬!! (Natalie 🌸 )
