My Experience with Besame Cosmetics 1969 Dusty Rose Lipstick:

Packaging: This lipstick comes packaged in a red and gold cardboard box with all the product and shade details. The lipstick itself comes housed in a gorgeous golden bullet with the brand’s signature chrysanthemum flowers design in red and the shade name is also present at the bottom of the bullet. Since I got the mini lipstick, I didn’t get the outer box and also, the lipstick came with a push up button to push the lipstick forward. The gold-plated casing gives a sophisticated and luxurious feel when you hold it. Besame lipstick bullets are inspired by the 1940’s lipstick bullet, that’s why it is smaller in size than the usual lipstick bullets. So, it fits perfectly in your purse. Each of these lipsticks is inspired from a particular decade of the Hollywood world and this shade is associated with the year 1969. Usually, lipsticks have a single flat end, but this one is chiseled with 2 flat ends, which make it easy to line and fill your lips. There is also a beautiful vanilla fragrance just like MAC lipsticks.

Shade: Each of their shades is based on actual vintage lipsticks and is named by the year that inspired it. Unsurprisingly, given their vintage aesthetic, there are plenty of red shades in this line. But, they also have a few nude shades and this is one of them. The shade ‘Dusty Rose’ is a mild rosey pink with a light brown undertone. As said before, this is a true replica of a color from 1969. As the 1970s began, lip shades were lighter and more natural to make way for the pink and sheer glosses of the 1970s and this lipstick was created based on that trend. This shade will be a beautiful neutral shade on fair to medium skin tone and will look like rosey nude on dusky skin tone. But, I think this shade may wash out deep skin tones.

Formula: The formula of these lipsticks is divine. These lipsticks are highly pigmented and are very opaque. It gives off a very rich color with just one swipe. This lipstick has a satin, semi-matte finish that delivers full coverage in one coat. The formula is packed with macadamia oil, vitamin C, chamomile, and aloe to leave lips feeling soft and hydrated. It applies smoothly on the lips and provides a full pigment with a single stroke. There is no major feathering, flaking, drying or smearing; this felt light and easy on the lips. I love this formula. It is one of the comfortable matte formulas that I have used in a long time.

Longevity: This product also had impressive wear time; it lasted for almost 6 hours just like most of the traditional lipsticks. The lipstick faded evenly, instead of from the middle. It is easy to reapply and also leaves a beautiful stain behind at the end of the day.
