The Victory Red Special Edition Set, which includes of course the Victory Red lipstick…hold on. Let’s rewind to the beginning. First, what is Victory Red lipstick? No, I don’t mean the straightforward answer to the question but rather the backstory. Yeah, this lipstick has a backstory. How often do you hear that, right? Well, much like with Besame’s Holly Pink lipstick, which also has a backstory, Victory Red lipstick does too. Let’s begin. It all started when WWII was in progress, in both countries America and Canada, that the government encouraged women to wear lipstick specifically a shade of red to showcase strength, hope and confidence, so women opted for a hue called Victory Red.

“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 honour 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
