- *Edit: GUUUYS I'm the dummiest dummy after reading all your tips and tricks (thank you btw!). So definitely take this with the grainiest bit of salt because I didn't line or blot my lips properly. But hopefully me being a dummy is entertaining at least 😂**
Hiiii! So some of you will probably hate this, but I wanted to be completely honest because I think it's important!
Sometimes drugstore brands are just as good. ;)
I love you all!!

hi Rachel. I have a bunch of besame lipsticks. you must blot after the first application. then re apply and blot one last time. you'll get a ton less transfer. and it will last practically all day unless you're eating ice cream or ribs, something with that type of texture.
you'll love besame I promise. the perfumes, powders omg. and I've had my lipsticks since last year. they're still lasting after 90 percent wear every week. powders too, I just ran out of the first powder I got last year this time.
sorry for the long message. I'm a besame nerd 😅😅
Raven Claw1280 I'll try it! But even after I got rid of most of it (on my hand and the cup) It was still smudging even if barely touched it 😂 Would a lip liner help? It was getting all over the crease of my mouth and stuff too hahaha
Strange. But victory is, at least to me, one of the creamier besame lipsticks, so blotting a bit more may be necessary... it may still transfer too much to your liking though. Besame merlot and red hot red to me are the best at practically not transferring after two blots... at least for me. But again, for me, the lipsticks last all day thru drinking and eating (unless it's creamy food that gets on my lips or I'm inhaling a sandwich or something).
I've not used a lip liner since freshman year high school, 1996 lol. A friend of mine has besame liners, she's not said if it helps or not. Definetely give a liner that you have on hand a go, no harm in trying.
Suggestion for the pin, email besame about getting one. They'll be able to say when and if they'll have another supply. If you find they're not bringing them back ever, give me a ping, I've not used mine. You're welcome to it if you'd like.
Raven Claw1280 I'm definitely gonna try the blotting trick! I feel kinda bad I didn't research a bit more before trying it 😭
No worries. It was a great video. Your dog was loving the besame as much, if not more than you😂😂😂😂 have a great week🤗🤗
The Pinup Companion also, try using setting powder to keep it in place as well! Apply the powder generously, let it sit a few seconds and then use a clean brush to lightly brush off the excess powder and it shouldn't smudge as much!
Heyooo! Sorry about how crazy the lighting/color temperature/motorcycles are in this, hahaha. But anyways I hope this isn't too boring. Also just wanna clarify this isn't a direct comparison because I know they're completely different lipsticks. I more or less wanted to show the kind I wear every day so you can see what I'm used to, and also that you can get similar shades for half the price 😂👌
The Pinup Companion new subscriber here! I'm not sure how I ended up here either (I think you just showed up in my recommended feed) but I think you're awesome!
Hannah Lemmon ❤️❤️❤️😊😊
The Pinup Companion I do understand your point. Sometimes it's frustrating to see lipstick everywhere around us. Still, I keep going for regular lipstick or a not so permanent formula. I do this because I feel like more permanent options make my lips super dry. And being someone already with pretty dry skin, that means trouble. So I find myself weighting the options every time I go to buy lipstick.
@rita .Sassatelli Totally! And that's why I said lipstick is different for every person. Some don't like transfer, and some don't mind it because of the moisturizing. It's all a game of trial and error, hahaha
As a messy person too, I mostly use lip tints so I never stains anything -I'm a big fan of korean cosmetics, so I only know korean brands, but if you ever want to try some for cheap, the Tony Moly lip tints are nice :3
Liquid lipstick will always win out over a cream lipstick when it comes to transfer tests. As far as cream lipstick and vintage inspired lipstick goes it is fabulous but the formula is just not going to work for you and your expectations. And that's ok! Stick with what works for you.
When you do wear this one, I would apply with a brush, blot, apply again with brush or from tube, then blot again. That is how they suggest you apply it for minimal transfer and maximum staying power (for a cream lipstick). 💋
Kendra veganbombshell I will definitely do that! I feel kinda awful for not having known this lol
Bailey Tucker Yes! I have 7 shades of Besame lipsticks and am obsessed with them. I have tried tons of liquid lipsticks and I don't like them, I can't function with the wands and they just feel uncomfortable and not glamorous (to me at least).
I apply my Besame lipsticks first generally with the tube, then even it out and line with a brush, blot, go back in with the tube, then blot twice. I find it stays locked into my lips pretty well after that. It still isn't transfer proof but it doesn't claim to be. I think it also has to do with what you (general "you", not YOU "you", if that makes any sense) are expecting out of individual products, whether they market them as transfer proof or they don't, for example.
Personal preference is cool, I don't like liquid lipsticks, personally, but it is totally cool that others do, we all have different wants and needs and our preferences should accommodate those needs and wants. :)
Great video. Your trusty Maybelline shade looks beautiful on you as always. Personally, I'm a traditional tube lipstick kind of girl. Never really jumped on the liquid lipstick bandwagon but in my mind they're very different beasts. Difficult to compare the two but if you're looking to get some wear out of your besame, I would suggest filling in your entire lip with a liner first and also blotting with a tissue after you're done applying victory red. The lipstick is pigmented enough where it won't look any different but it will get rid of any excess so there will be less transfer. I have a few besame shades and wearing them this way, I can get a good 6-8 hours wear even with eating and drinking. :)
WordsofaReader I'll try the lip liner trick! Yeah they definitely are two different beasts, but I just wanted to show that the shades are pretty similar and they generally last longer ❤️
I AM OBSESSED WITH BESAME COSMETICS! Yes it does transfer but it stains your lips. I went 8 hours without having to reapply lipstick. Another vintage trick is line your lips, lipstick, and put powder over it, then reline your lips and put lipstick on. It's an old trick. But their lipsticks stain your lips and last all day. And after it transfers it stops. If I just put on my lipstick and I drink water it will come off but after 4 sips it stops transferring and stays on. It is heavily pigmented and there are times when using a makeup wipe doesn't help whatsoever! Especially with Besame Red, Victory Red, and American Beauty. Another reason why I love them.
BlackPin Ups Yes! I love Besame lipsticks! The stain is real and I love it!
I will have to try your technique! I typically apply, blot, apply again, and blot again twice and it keeps it in place for hours.
BlackPin Ups How do you keep it from smearing?
I,ll try that tip thanks
I love besame lipsticks! I know some have pointed out the blot/powder trick(there's a guide in the box) their lipsticks are some of the bullet lipsticks that stay best on me! I can't do the liquid to matte ones because my lips are sooooo dry :( we all have different preferences, both looked great on you! Xx
I don't even think I looked at the paper in the box, which totally would've helped me, hahaha. Totally! I know the Maybelline kind won't be for everyone, we all have different lips ❤️
tried different shades of the Maybelline super stay and hated them all. My lips felt like not part of my body anymore, so dry, and sticky at the same time. Terrible unnatural feeling. I found other matte lipsticks that I liked (but in bullets), some really affordable drugstore ones are quite good (like some from Essence), but the besame lipsticks are still my favourites, and the Victory red is my all time favourite shade :-) My second favourite shade is the 1920s Besame red. I also love how they shape their lipsticks. And of course you are right about the blotting!
No excuse in 2018 for maybelline to still not be cruelty free. Plenty of budget friendly options that dont test on animals
I hope you’re vegan, then 👀
@@HunterDriguez Reducing cruelty and harm is still better than not doing anything.
@@HunterDriguez Eating meat and not using cosmetics that is tested cruelly on animals is really not the same thing!
@@sparklyrainbowbunnyit kinda is livestock and test animals are both raised in extremely cruel conditions, but cosmetics are just less necessary than meat so ppl can pretend its ok and not feel bad about it.
This is DEFINITELY a public service. The oops I'm an idiot test is too real.
prettythinker 😂😂 Or it could also be called thr "Rachel pretty much every minute of every day" Test
Yes I hope she does one with mascara
That really is a beautiful color. Thing is, regular creme lipsticks smudge like that. The drugstore option claimed it was 24h, so naturally it wouldn't transfer much. Not the fairest comparison in that respect.
battlefrenzie I know, it was more to just show you "this is what I'm used to". I wasn't saying that Besame should last that long. It was also showing you can get the same kinda shade for half the price. 👌
Rachel!! I just got done binge-watching all of your videos. You are by far the funniest person I follow on TH-cam. I really appreciate how don't hold anything back in your videos. The way you edit your videos makes you a comedy genius! It's like an added bonus that you based your channel around your vintage style. I dress mostly modern but with a small hint of vintage style. You have definitely given me inspiration for more looks I can put together. I'm so glad I found your channel, and I can't wait to see more of your amazing work.
Aww thank you so so much cutie!!
Love the world's smallest violin touch! Haha! Also, I really enjoy watching your videos. They always make me smile. :)
Beth Bowen Hahahaha I'm glad you recognized it 😂❤️
I just bought my two first Bésame lipsticks last week. 1970 Chocolate Kiss and 1959 Red Hot Red. They’re my favorite lipsticks I’ve ever worn! I’m actually not a liquid lip person like most people are these days. I just don’t mind the reapplication but I can totally understand why others do. I also prefer a cream, glossy, or metallic finish to matte (I do love metallic matte though), so that alone steers me away from the majority of liquid lipsticks. I’d suggest use a lipliner first! For me, that’s made a world of difference. But sometimes I’m picky on the color of my liner matching the lipstick itself, if you’re like that too, I’d really suggest using a lip brush! They have a beautiful travel one, but I just use a drugstore brush brand one and it works just fine! Like a dream. I just really love the tradition of applying classic tube lipstick, especially with a brush. It feels timeless.
Vintage doggo? Dog become pinup 2?
Bethan L That's totally what he was trying to do 😱 Pinup Pupper
The Pinup Companion haha I support him!!
You know, I was counting down to the time your dog would show up. He made me laugh so much I had to stop the video. He is a video bombing expert. Now, on with the show.
D R-K 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Looks like you got alot of the same tips i would have also suggested. i wear primarily Besame now and with the blotting etc it lasts all day with minimal mess and transfer...but yes no matter what there will always be a bit.....i love how conditioned my lips are so i am ok with it. i also dont like reapplying gloss all day which the Maybelline requires....like you said, personal prefrence.
Hey Rachel! I know a bunch of people have already mentioned but what works for me is put on, blot, put on again and then blot once more. Still some transfer but not as much then. Love your channel!
I'm sure a hundred other people said this, but girl I work at Sephora and you gotta BLOT THAT SHIT! Once I've blotted my Victory Red, it doesn't transfer. I shared a drink with my friend and she was shocked my lipstick wasn't all over the straw. Liquid lipsticks are great for transfer resistance, but by hour 2 I want to wipe them off! 💋
Zeitlos Hahahaha yup I've definitely learned my lesson 🙈🙈
The Pinup Companion for the price I don't want you having any regrets 😘 I know how disappointing it can be when hyped stuff seems to fall short!
I like that this video is just a realistic view of someone trying out a product for the first time. It's nice seeing honest reviews, even if the "testers" aren't over the moon with the products :)
I'm glad Besame handled this well and gave you a chance to do a second video. I had posted an honest review after a company totally ignored me for a week to return the items. They threatened me with defamation because people were listening to what I said and stopped purchasing. I'll be giving Besame a try and hopefully learning how to apply it correctly as you have done
My grandma was a red lipstick wearer every day. Her face wasn’t on without her signature red lipstick. You always knew grandma was nearby with her lipstick trail.... on a mug, on a fork, on your cheek.... Truly authentic. The blot with the tissue ‘trick’ was pretty standard advice. And, some would even advise to take a tissue, then separate it into its 2 layers so you get a very sheer single layer. Then gently lay it against your lips/lipstick and add a fine dusting of powder (which at the time would have been with a powder puff). One last application if desired with another single blot and you wouldn’t need to add any more lipstick until after a meal, or some strategically designed time to ‘powder your nose’ and move on from the socializing.
Honestly everyone has their own likes and dislikes! Besame is awesome but not all brands will be everyones cup of tea. Wearing Cherry Red currently & LOVING IT still on after a full day. She rocks both of them & felt more comfortable with the one she was used to, I can definitely relate I don't like some brands products but they might be another persons holy grail, that's the great thing about being humans is we get to be so different!!
Callie Zeringue Yes! Dusty Rose today, Tango Red yesterday, Red Velvet the day before!
Yes!! Some people love liquid lipsticks, and some absolutely despise them, same with cream ones. I just figured it'd be at least a little helpful for those on the fence, or at least give someone a reason to try both and see what they like! Haha ❤️❤️
Jade Prescott Yeah *she* will definitely learn from her mistakes
+The Pinup Companion Oh! I apologize, I just realized that my comment could have been worded better, I didn't mean for it to sound so rude. Ugh, the deadpan of text based conversation is very frustrating, I feel like I always sound super irritated, condescending, or sarcastic if I am not saying something out loud or using emojis!
I am very sorry!
Just discovered you and have been binge watching your videos. You're legitimately one of my favorite TH-camrs I've come across. Love your sense of humor!
Aww that makes me happy!! Thank you! ❤️😊
Your sense of editing humor is my jam. Subbed as fuck.
Passing Monsters Heehee yay!! Thank you 😊😊❤️❤️
Your house look beautiful in the background! Can you film house tour? 💕
Catherine 7171 It's coming eventually! ❤️😊😊
The Pinup Companion I second this! I want to know what's behind you in that interesting looking house :o
So I just stumbled upon your channel tonight, and I am already OBSESSED!! I love your videos (which I am currently binge watching), and the vintage atmosphere. I have always been a vintage lover, but often struggle to incorporate it as I am also a goth 😅 either way, you have a new fan in me! 🖤
Heehee awww you're so sweet!!! ❤️❤️
Here to tell you that I love your channel, personality, and style! Not the only old soul out there, and I dig it. Plus your handmade Belle costume is awesome! ♡
Megan Heldenbrand Ahh you're the sweetest!! Thank you so much ❤️❤️
this is what I do: I use one of my 24 hour lipsticks, (love those I almost screamed when I saw that you use them), and instead of using the little clear balm on the other end, I use a lipstick like besame one.. I know it sounds odd but the color comes out overwhelmingly velvety I'm so obsessed.
Oooo! That's a good idea! A good way to use both!
I love the honest review! We all have different preferences so I love hearing people's thoughts. Love your channel!
Drew Lilscottishprincess Aw yay thank you so much!! Reviews always kinda make me feel like I'm being mean so this made me feel better 😊❤️
awww, I'm so glad!!
Well that does it! I'm getting some of that Maybelline 24 hour!!
Roxanne Vallad Let me know how you like it!! ❤️❤️
Will do! I'm dying to find lipstick that can handle my nacho addiction.
1930 and 1935 are my two fave shades from Besame!
Could you please do a video with your favorite perfumes or your favorite vintage scents? That would be great! You are wonderful and I love your videos!
Hello Rachel, I have just tried Besame Victory Red. I took a page out of my mothers book( she was in her teen's and twenty's in the middle 40's to 50's), I took a tissue to blot the lipstick. It does help combat the transfer problem, just a little bit. My mother continued to wear the same simple style of makeup throughout her lifetime without trying any fads. I am trying to emulate her, but have had to start from scratch .When you mentioned using Maybelline SuperStay 24 Hour Lip Colour -(Keep it Red,) I was reminded of Jessica Kellgren-Fozard who uses Lipstick: Maybelline SuperStay 24 Hour Lip Colour (542 Cherry Pie) . Love both of you. Tricia B 👄💄
I'm late to this party but that is exactly the kind of testing I do on a lipstick before I use it. I am 43 and rarely wear makeup at this point because so much of the lipsticks have the transfer issue. Thanks for this. I love the concept of Besime. The historical reproductions are amazing. I've never had good experiences with cream lipsticks. I'm totally going on the hunt for the kind you use because that's what I've been striving to get for years.
I have a besame lipstick that I got a couple years ago (the same shade that Hayley Attwell wears as Peggy Carter, cause heart eye emojis) and I only pop it out for very special occasions or vintage photo shoots because it's so pricy. I love it though, it feels very secure compared to drugstore cream lipsticks.
I can appreciate why this lipstick wasn’t for you, but oh... the color! It’s so beautiful! It’s still available. I’m going to order it. Thank you for introducing me to it.
YOU ARE SERIOUSLY MY FAVORITE TH-camR "Or uhm, SACRIFICE THE BLOOD OF YOUR FIRST BORN" 😂 I have been watching you every day since I found you and GIRL, you and your pupper and my favorites 🖤 Much love. Never stop. Please... for the love of baby Jesus
hannah barnhill Hehehehe thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm absolutely in love with your channel! I've been discovering more about vintage fashion, beauty, and lifestyle and it is so much fun and I love it! I definitely have more appreciation now when my dad goes antique shopping and he wants me to go with him. You are also so funny and beautiful inside and out
Chelsea Allen Aww yay that makes me happy!! Antiques tell such stories! They always fascinate me ❤️❤️
You're so honest and funny. I love your channel and your style. Keep it up 😉
Gianna Martinez Thank you lovely!! Reading the comments I think I might've applied it all wrong, oops hahahaha ❤️
I just found your channel over the weekend and I LOVE your commitment to your personal style and aesthetic. We probably couldn't be more different style-wise because I dress like a street hippie half the time (although ya sister does love a good thrift haul), but you have so much glamour and carry yourself so wonderfully--it's awesome. Thanks for sharing your content! Can't wait to see more.
Ahh thank you so much sweetness!! Hey man, street hippie is a sweetass style too!
Oh, this made me laugh - I love your videos! The Besame is a classic lipstick (requiring lip pencil and blotting - the whole shebang), so definitely not comparable with a liquid matte one. Part of the classic experience is reapplying throughout the day as needed, too. I love both formulas, just depends on what I plan to do on the day. There's definitely a learning curve with a classic lipstick, which we all went through so no worries! You'll get the hang of it - because who can resist that shade;)
Hahaha I'm glad it could make you laugh even though I obviously did it completely wrong 😂❤️ I'm glad that I can use these tips though and actually wear it!
Thank you! I watched this review knowing I can't really afford/buy Besame where I live but I enjoy your videos. Then you spoke about liquid red lipcolour and I went and bought some Maybelline 24hr one in red to try and see. I used to buy lipsticks instead and the wear and transfer was so frustrating and paranoia inducing! Wore the red yesterday and it stayed! Yes, I had to re-apply after food, but I was so happy. I had red lips even when I got home a few hours later. I felt so pretty and much more confident. ^_^ Thanks for the honest reviews and opening up the world of liquid lip colour to a newbie!
Thank you so much for this! Ive been using Mac forever but it smudges and transfers really bad. I bought the Maybelline after watching your video and so far love it! Now I can kiss my six babies without getting lipstick all over them! I love your videos! Keep them coming!
That Maybelline transfer test was impressive!
I don't even like to pay $8 for lipstick, so I have been using a $2 tube of Wet & Wild Cinnamon Spice (which has amazing staying power for $2).
I may have to drop the $8 on a tube of your stuff!
I am leary of true reds, but I love a cinnamon or even a reddish plum. Maybe they will have a color to suit me in the 24 hour selection!
I just discovered your channel today, and must say that you are HILARIOUS! I look forward to watching all of your older videos!
Julia Kristine Heehee aww thank you lovely!!
The formula is known to be excellent. This is my favorite company these days. The color looks amazing. I think in regards to application- you may to trying to blot off the first layer and then re-apply. Also, use a lip brush. You look fabulous in both colors.
Hello, Rachel! I personally prefer classic tube lipstick and use it every day. My saver has been clear silicone lip pencil. Nearly all drugstore brands make these. I apply it all over the lips and around to prevent bleeding. It gives your lips the grip for the lipstick to stick better and mattifies it. Also, blot after first coat and reapply as was suggested below. I really hope this helps! 💋
Sonya Telechkun Ooo I've never hear of one of those!! I'll definitely have to go get one, thank you! ❤️❤️
The Pinup Companion I will be pleased if it helps you 😘
Your doggy is too funny........be careful he might eat that if you leave it laying around...great video;)
Hehehe I wouldn't put it past him! Thank you lovely!
WHERE THE HECK DID YOU GET THAT TOP?!?! it is just gorgeous
SOOOO happy i found this channel !!!
Fara AL Ahh thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
I'm a big Besame fan, and a tissue placed over the lips and a tap with a powdered brush (plus the old stand by of blotting) really help. That ridge on top is meant to help you line your lips and it definitely is tricky if you're not used to it! I do think part of the appeal of Besame is that it's an authentic, honest to goodness lipstick and that does include leaving a little red on someone you've kissed but as far as practicality goes, with modern liquid lipsticks it really isn't for everyone. PS, Your dog is so cute!
Extra Nancy I'm definitely going to have to try all of these tips, I'm a dummy when it comes to makeup so I feel bad I even made this review when I didn't know what the heck I was talking about 😂
No, you shouldn't feel bad, the video was great and (at least to me) it never came off as anything but 'how does this product stack up to my favorite product'. Not everyone is a traditional lipstick person, there's nothing wrong with that. Besides, both lipsticks look great on you!
Love your vintage lipstick. Asthetics is important to me, too. Gotta love those asthetics!💓
Just wanna add that in vintage times, women set their lipstick with a layer of powder before application, another layer of powder after application, then another layer of lipstick, then another layer of powder. Oh, I'm not sure when to stop. It's not as foolproof as the kissable lipsticks with wands. I think the wands are magic, after all.💋
Hi! I love your videos!
That being said, I have the 1941 victory red from Besame and I found it applies less messily if I use a lip brush. Also, apply, blot, apply, blot, finish with burts bees beeswax balm. It'll stay forever after that, and transfer is minimal at most.
This is my fav video of yours so far!!! This one is so funny omg. I tried out this lipstick yesterday, funnily enough, and I noticed that if you keep it on longer, it won't transfer after a while. I like to smooch my boyfriend and his cat and there was no transfer and the lipstick still looked good, so maybe it was just too fresh? Well, anyways, I loved this video! You should do comparisons more often, if you were thinking about it, it's a lot of fun! :D ♥
Lilo R You may already know this but if you apply, blot, apply again, and blot again Besame lipsticks will pretty much not go anywhere for hours! * contented sigh * I love them.
Haha I think maybe that was the case, along with maybe putting too much on 😂😂 I always feel kinda dumb/mean doing comparisons so we'll see, hahaha
The Pinup Companion nah don't feel dumb you are only human! it is a bit of a trial and error process and it was an enjoyable one😄
The Pinup Companion Ditto with what Lilo said! Don't feel bad or dumb! It was something new to you, we all continue to learn our whole lives and it was something you weren't used to. If I did the same comparison video I would have the exact opposite problem that you had, I wouldn't know how to get a liquid lipstick to work well or be comfortable for me. I have tried a bunch of different ones and I am a total klutz with them so there is a ton of frantic cleanup going on then once they finally set I feel like I spent a month in the desert because they dry my lips out like mad, haha. We all have different skin types and needs.
Gosh your editing and humour are just so good XD I'm a newbie here but love your videos and style! X
SophieLouise Heehee aww thank you lovely!! ❤️😊
Lipsticks don't typically stay on me more than an hour. I don't seem to have that issue with Besame. I know they are super highly pigmented so that may be your issue with transfer. This is what I do. It has taken me some time to find the right combination for my skin texture which is dehydrated but on the oily side. I have used their liners (the original that came with their large red velvet set now discontinued.) I have not tried the new forum at ion of liners so can not comment on it. The liner combo I am using now is super cheap Jordana plum...cheap but works as a fill in color, and recently started using the BH liner (don't remember exact color atm) they matting and dry to a smudge proof finish. I find the bh liner is a bit heavy so just use it to line my lip then use my lip brush to buff it out, then fill with Jordana. With Besame less is more due to the highly pigmented nature. Used as such those small tubes last me a couple years or more. I either tap it on over the liner to fill or will use a lip brush to pick up a small amount then blend it into the lip to set it in place. It lasts all day and into the evening. Like seriously spent entire days in New Orleans partying away and enjoying the cuisine and did not need to reapply unless I ate something super greasy then just need to dap the center slightly. I know no one thing works for everyone but find that due to the highly pigmented nature a light hand works better.
You are freakin adorable! I love how your puppy keeps trying to get on camera. And your reactions to him. Lol. Subscribed! I use Maybelline 24 hour too, but I find it wears off when I eat and drink. Especially on the inner part of the lip. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Aww hehe thank you!! I don't use the balm side at all, so maybe that affects how long it lasts? If I'm eating oily foods then it definitely doesn't last as long, but usually I don't have to reapply all day even after eating 😊
Loved this video as always! Red lips are so gorgeous on you 😍❤️
Lilian Day Thank you so much lovely lady!!
Hi cutie, loved the video. I've never really had interest in any of the besame cosmetics, but the way the look is absolutely gorgeous. To be honest, I prefer a liquid-to-matte lipstick over a creamy/glossy one, even if it does not give that vintage feeling. If you want a lipstick that lasts all day and that has minimal transferring I would recommend you Jeffree Star's Redrum. If you don't like his personality it's fine, but his lipstick are really made to last. I have got my redrum almost 4 times re-bought, since it is just a really good lipstick. Maybe it's a little bit pricey ($18, but for example on black Friday's $12) but I think it's worth it. You looked really beautiful in this video!
I've actually been wanting to try his lipsticks! I tried Kat Von D's and the colors are amazing but again, the transfer kinda turned me off from getting any more haha. I'll have to take a peek on his website!
You’re stunningly gorgeous!!!! Love your fair skin and red hair . I have light skin and red hair , but I tan a little no matter how hard I try not to . My hair is more of a strawberry blonde . I tried to do a red glaze to make mine more red but it didn’t suit me . The lipstick looks gorgeous on you
Ahh you are so sweet!! ❤️
The Pinup Companion ❤️
New subbie :) I really love the L'Oreal Made For Me Reds in Blake - it's kinda in the middle for transfer...quite matte and long lasting but you don't leave lippy on every surface you connect with! My daughter swears by a Sephora Lip Ink but I found it drying (and expensive!) but there's also a product called Lipcote here in the UK which helps with transfer..you just paint it on over your lipstick and it seals it...stings and tingles when you first apply it though! :D I really like the Besame on you btw. Looks pwetty :) x
I have a deep love for blotting papers, they really help reduce smudging!
MsAneThrope I'll have to get some! ❤️❤️
Where do you get blotting pads
This is my first video and you already made me smile so much just one minute in. I'm gonna subscribe!
Sofie K. Vala Awww hehe thank you lovely!!!
LINE AND BLOT! That's the best thing I've found, particularly with Besame.
They say you can use the lipstick as a liner but I find it bleeds more throughout the day if I do that. Find any red liner that matches (I often find the cheaper brands work best for lining).
Use a tissue to blot after the first application. Apply a second layer.
Sometimes if I want super stay lips I will blot a second time through one very thin ply of tissue, but blot using a setting powder (so tissue over the mouth and apply powder to the tissue, use a brush to dab powder through) and apply a third layer.
I found that Besame's reds stay a lot better than any of the other colours....the 1931 Merlot is a to diiieeeeee for colour but disappears quite quickly.
My 1941 is incredibly grainy and bitty, not sure if that's the usual or just a fault with the batch mine came from.
I will definitely be trying the Maybelline one though now! That stuffs invincible!!
BeckiOhheyy Man there is so much I didn't know about blotting hahaha I feel bad 🙈🙈 But yes! Definitely try the Maybelline stuff! It's awesome when you know you're going somewhere where reapplying might be a pain haha ❤️❤️
It's a secret artform that even I only just figured out myself. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't completely transfer proof the Besame lipsticks but it helps so much and doesn't transfer half as much as you'd have found when filming this.
I once, at a 1940's re-enactment event, made my 1941 last all day....without re-applying! How you may ask? I haven't the foggiest.
Hahaha I must learn this artform 😂😂 Watching this now after reading the comments, I TOTALLY put way too much on, I'm so used to my liquid lipstick and the amount I use for that. Owell hahaha, at least I learned a few lessons 😂
If you like a liquid lipstick, Missy and Fierce from Wet N Wild is a beautiful ruby shade; it's about 5 dollars at the drugstore! Love your videos :)
I'll have to try it!! I've heard good things about that brand 😊
As someone already said if you line your lips and fill them in with lip liner then apply your lippie then blot with tissue paper, then re-apply lipstick it will last longer, or at least fade more gracefully. You can also give it a light stroke of powder keeping the aforementioned tissue paper on your lips.
Admittedly that's a lot of work! Sometimes "modern" liquid lipsticks are just easier. :P
ockham Haha it does sound a bit daunting 😂😂 I'm a lazy beast but I should give that a try!
Discovered your channel yesterday and I binged all your videos because you are a queen
Heehee aww thank you cutie!!!
With deep pigment « bullet » lipstick (like Besame), I use a ‘waxy’ lip liner first, then apply the lipstick with a lip brush, wait 40 seconds and then I blot with tissue. Holds up well.
During the rest of the day, if I decide to touch up, I’ll use a sheerer, less-pigmented lip product in a few quick swipes.
Nonetheless, I am most likely to go buy that Maybelline color you use!
omg, your editing is on point every time!
Maria Isabell Røsberg ❤️❤️❤️😊
damn girl you make me laugh so much ! cuz other you tubers aren't even funny, that's why i love watching your vids
Ayse F. Aww haha thank you!! That means a lot to me 😊😊❤️
I love an update on what makeup and lip products you use that are retro vintage etc
I love love love this lipstick. it doesn't transfer as much when you blot or go away
you are such a lovely wonderful person and i am so glad to have found your channel today! i've watched every single one of your videos. your personality and style has given me a lot of confidence today, so thank you :) your hair is so beautiful, i would love to see a hair care routine! I've been trying out new hairstyles but i feel like i need to start with hair care because i'm so frizzy and dry.
Oh my gosh you are the sweetest ❤️❤️ My hair is honestly pretty dry and dead hahaha
I've been trying to get my paws on that shade for so long!😂 I have Merlot and YES it's so messy it hurts especially when applying😫 blotting does help a ton though and it does wear nicely afterwards. I sometimes make the mistake of putting too much on and then later on the inner part of my lips get gummy. So I'd say one good layer is fine and a lipliner does help too😅 I like the suavecita pomade lipstick as more of an everyday sort of thing because it's dries down more than besame lipstick, wears very well, smells great, doesn't over dry my lips, color payoff is nice (I have the shade "STRUT"), and the packaging is awesome. Hope this helps at least a bit lol😄
Arie Ooo I didn't know Suavecita made lipsticks?!!!! 😱
The Pinup Companion they have some nice shades and it's less expensive than besame 😊
Loooooooove the blouse, thrift find? Starting to feel guilty but I think I love your dog more than my own 😳
You can't even compare the colors. The bésame looks AMAzIng!!
Yay you do have the perfume atomiser and all the lovely things that match on your dressing table...do you brush your hair 100 times at bedtime? Lol...my mum did..I was a horrid little tomboy but I did listen to mum about beauty because she was so stunning and never seemed to age. I have a photo of her taken at a wedding where she was about 70 one of the last and she barely looked 50 I don't think I will be quite as good. .the thumbnail is me at Christmas and I'm 60 in July. Keep out of the sun is the single best advice she gave me.
tbh, while i adore besame cosmetics, i am really glad i managed to snag their mini lipsticks set last winter. it was a great way to try out various shades and get used to the formula. i actually usually wear them as more of a lip stain, myself, because i bite and lick my lips compulsively, and using it as a tint/stain is much more forgiving when you have those nervous habits.
the maybelline liquid lips formula is definitely superior so far as transfer test go, but besame lipsticks just feel so /nice/ on the lips. if they come out with another mini lipstick set for the 2017 holiday season, i'd recommend picking it up! while the minis are super tiny, they still do last awhile.
also, yeah, like everyone else said, you really do need to blot these lipsticks and use a liner if possible. the formula is not meant for unlined, unblotted lips.
Ohh I would've loved that! I love when products have a sort of "tester". I'll definitely keep an eye out!!
I really enjoyed your other Besame review. ..as you will see from my multiple comments (I'm old, and remember the cosmetics my mum had on her dresser) I must say that regardless of what cosmetics you use, you have the look down perfectly (I may have some 1940's pictures of my mum on Google plus...I'll check it would have been late 40's and 1950's. If not I will put them up because looking at you is pretty much like looking at one of those.
Hey Rachel, I just discovered you a week ago. Watched your videos from newest backwards and heard so much about this video. I was expecting you to bitch about.. but honestly? You seem as nice and funny as always. You did mention how much you want to like it and you just compared it. There is nothing wrong with it! I did the change to liquid a year ago and I fully understand why you wouldnt want that transfer again. (; (I just dont like maybelline because they test on animals)
So dont let them people bring you down or hurt you! You're doing great and you are by far not ungrateful or bitchy.. Love your content!
Honestly when it comes to those type of lipstick shapes, I prefer to use a lip brush. Or else I get so frustrated.
Cheyenne Marques Yeah I am totally gonna use one next time I wear it 😂😂
I found your channel the other day and I've nearly cleared through all of your videos! You are the TH-camr I've been looking for for years, like no joke. I'm living for all of this channel. Someone who can teach me pin rolls while being hilarious? Sign me up. Man. I think I'm done now.
claudia miller Omg you're so sweet, thank you so so much 😊😊❤️❤️
I have the Agent Carter Besame lipstick (I think it is called Red Velvet?). Anyway, the shade is perfect, the lipstick feels super moisturizing and comfortable to wear, and it GETS ON EVERYTHING. I don’t wear red lipstick or makeup often, so I’m not an expert, but I need to figure out how to keep this lipstick off my nose.
I’m going to try your Maybelline lipstick now.
Lolol i'm glad I'm not the only one! They just sent me a bunch more lipsticks that I'm gonna try (and follow the directions this time lol), but I'm still not confident I'll like them. I'm MUCH more of a liquid lipstick gal 😊
Omk, i was watching a makeup video, saw your film and was like: "how couldn't i see it before?". Now i realised that is new.
Anyway, love that you're making that type of videos. (like any other vintage films) :)
Charline pl ❤️❤️❤️😊
I think that these lipsticks will never win a transfer test against a matte or liquid lipstick, but I will say they are some of the most long lasting tube lipsticks I've tried. I've never done the blotting or powdering thing people suggest but when I wear Victory Red, I can eat anything and it barely moves. Not just that, but it fades better than my liquid lipsticks so I don't worry about it if I can't immediately reply. Definitely keep working at it if you want to!
Valentina Boré I'm definitely gonna keep trying and do some of the tips, I really love the color and how it feels and now that I know it's possible to make them a bit more long lasting I'm gonna try! Haha ❤️❤️
Well, I came here for a Besame review but immediately subscribed to your channel because you are precious! 🥰
Found your channel this week and I must say you're so awesome! love your style and the way you make your videos both entertaining and interesting ;) keep it up! lots of love from Transylvania ^_^
Awww thank you so much lovely!!!
For transfer:
A. Beseme products are best when you apply a layer then blot, then apply another layer and blot again.
B. If you don’t want to do that, or you just want it to stay on really good and not transfer, set it with powder. You can use translucent powder or eyeshadow in the same color as the lipstick (though keep in mind, this can make your lips really dry and powdered. It may also come off in small ball clumps)
C. (My personal favorite) if you want to do several of these you can, but for me I use this one trick and A. Set it with setting spray! If you don’t use setting spray this can be a hassle, but I already use it so I just spray a ton of setting spray all over my lips and sometime spray my fingers and apply it directly to my lips.
I hope these tips help if you really want to use the beseme lipsticks, or any other lipsticks similar. I am a clumsy toddler when it comes to makeup and lipstick so I extra set everything. For my liquid lipsticks are way to drying for my lips, so I just really set normal lipsticks.
*besame sorry for my misspelling!
I agree. I've been wanting to find more lipsticks that actually stay put, but the Besame colors entice me so. I nearly shelled out on a tube of their "Red Velvet" color recently, but I stopped myself. I actually owned "Victory Red" before until I left it in a coat pocket by accident (then laundry happened 😢) I've been looking for a cheaper alternative to avenge its untimely death. Is Maybelline SuperStay your go-to, or have you tried other liquid lipsticks and liked them?
unknowndeoxys00 It is my go-to for sure! I've tried Stila, Colourpop, etc and found their liquid lipsticks transferred like crazy also. Maybelline is surprisingly the only liquid lipstick I've found that doesn't, which is fine with me cuz it's cheap 😂😂
Your videos just popped up in my Recommended section I may have binge watched all of your videos😄
I totally adore your style and kind of want to try out some skirts!
Hehehe aww thank you!!
Gosh you're so funny! And now on to the rest of your video's..I'm binge watching at this hour! New subbie!
Heehee Ahh you're too sweet!!!
Hey lovely. I completely understand your transfer frustrations as I came to Besame from only using liquid lipstick myself. What I have found works really well is applying once and then blotting and then applying another layer on top and blotting lightly again. I wear Victory Red every day to work and most days I wear it for close to 9 hours and it still looks perfect when I get home. You have to play around with Besame and see what works for you but when it works its amazing. Ill never go back to liquid lipsticks myself. Good Luck!!
Kat D I'm definitely gonna try it! I do want to love it cuz it feels really nice when it's on, I just gotta figure out the process that works for me hahaha
"hahaHA EXCUSE ME *push* "
My favorite part
Hehehhee❤️❤️❤️
A difference worth noting in regard to the price difference - that you alluded to indirectly in the video in mentioning really liking/ respecting Besamé as a company - is the reason behind the significant price difference. The brands, and in turn who & what any purchase is ultimately supporting, are vastly different. One is a small independent brand that is meaningfully curated, very transparent about their production process, & cruelty free whereas the other is a multi-national conglomerate that tests on animals & is far from transparent about their production, ingredient sourcing, etc. And that only touches on a few points, as many more could be included for both companies. Of course such things don't matter to everyone but I firmly believe that where we put our dollars is essentially like voting. My purchasing habits are far from perfect but IMO one doesn't have to be "perfect" - whatever that even is - to make trying worthwhile. I've been a cruelty-free buyer for years but am more & more trying to educate myself beyond "just" animal testing & be more conscientious overall re: what & who I support w/ my purchases. I am VERY aware that budgetary constraints can't be ignored - I myself have a VERY limited budget due to ongoing serious illness & the associated costs of everything from round the clock daily IVs to needed meds, machines, & supplies to hospitalizations - but I still have choices re: how & where I spend what I do have & have come to realize that in many/ most cases I'm better off buying one better quality, more ethically produced/ sourced, & yes, pricier, item than several lesser quality/ cheaper alternatives. In addition to the better quality of the more expensive item more often than not it will wear/ last much longer & more times than not I find myself genuinely enjoying it FAR more...to the extent that, in many cases, I would prefer to have one of the pricier items than several of the cheaper alternatives.
Now of course I am not saying that more expensive always correlates to better quality or ethics as that is definitely NOT the case, esp when it comes to many larger name brands; equally true is the fact that there are definitely great deals to be had w/ in the realm of more conscientious purchasing & by no means does less expensive always mean inferior. Many small brands/ "indies" are in fact priced very reasonably relative to their quality as you're buying direct rather than through a store &/ or distributor, all of which need to be paid.
Discounts/ sales, secondhand/ thrifting, &/ or buying off season can all be great ways to purchase from brands you feel better about supporting as well.
So yeah....now that I've nearly written a novelette....
Mostly I just wanted to add these issues to the discussion. I'm well aware that many don't care but IMO not knowing the issues exist is different than not caring, & I think we should all at least be aware that they exist so that we can each make decisions accordingly. I also know full well that said issues can be quite overwhelming individually - never mind so when looked at collectively - such that makes it tempting to say "why bother?" But as with many things in life it's not an all or nothing proposition, & the reality that none of us can do it all, so to speak, isn't reason to do nothing. Insert the applicable cheesy inspirational quote of your choosing, i.e. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Totally agree! I think Besame's cosmetics are well-priced for them, and I'm glad other people feel that way too. But for me personally, it's a bit too much, considering I'm a huuuge cheapskate hahaha. Everyone's different, and we all spend our money different ways. For me, the Maybelline suits my lifestyle better, and although it doesn't have as much love and passion behind it as the Besame brand does, the price and durability win me over. I hope to support Besame as much as I can without forcing myself to buy products that don't work for me though!
Oooo now I want you to compare the Maybelline to the Blue Red Lipsense!!
I wanna try Lipsense! I've heard really good things about it 😍
I'm team Maybelline 24hrs too. It's too convenient, it lasts forever and you don't stain anything. But today I bought a Revlon in a vintage color from 1952, and today has been an adventure, I haven't wear an old fashioned lipstick in years... But I want to do it just for the vintage experience. I'd also love to buy everything from Bésame, but it is too expensive and too far away from me, which makes it even more expensive...life is so unfair... 💄
I got so stressed out when you were doing the transfer tests because you're wearing white! The color itself is GORGEOUS though.
With lipsticks like these I always have more success when it comes to keeping the product on my lips when I apply, then blot, apply and blot again. Another great product for helping lipsticks wear longer is a lip stick sealing liquid called Lipcoat. It applies over basically any type of lipstick once dry and will create a protective barrier that doesn't alter the colour but can sometimes slightly mattify its texture which is part of what helps it last longer. I'm not sure if it can be found in the US but over here in the UK it is most women's secret weapon! Its cheaper than most drugstore brand lipsticks to buy and will last you forever! I always keep one to hand just in case but usually i find if i apply it in the morning i will get around 16-20 hours of wear from a liptick that would last me maybe a couple hours without it!
I wouldnt say it is 100% smudge proof as it does depend somewhat on the lipstick you are putting it over but it works very nicely with my maybelline lipsticks and works equally well on top if my Mac or Dior lipsticks :) I'd be more than happy to find you a link if you haven't already heard of it!
I really need to get some of that Lipcoat! It sounds heavenly, hahaha ❤️❤️
Its saved my ass a couple of times! www.amazon.co.uk/Lipcote-A602-1-Original-Lipstick-Sealer/dp/B003RVV82S here's a link to it! hopefully you can find it in the US! If not i'd be happy to send you some!
I just found your channel and absolutely adore it! So of course I subscribed! :) I adore all things vintage, it was a delightful surprise to find your channel
❤️❤️❤️
With cream lipsticks, you can also extend the staying power by blotting then applying an eyeshadow in the same colour as your lip product.
I collect vintage makeup and Besame I love. They have powders is the cutest packaging and cake mascara. The lipsticks are pricy but will last you a long time. I have a mini perfume set with the same packaging as the lipsticks.❤
Their packaging is the CUTEST!
