Did you know there is a cosmetics line called Besame Cosmetics which specializes in antique makeup? They have lipsticks, mascaras, fragrances, and more that all give nods from 1920 all the way up to 1970. The line can not only be found on their official website, but can also be found online at Sephora, ModCloth, and more. So, what inspired this antique-makeup cosmetics line? The vintage makeup process, of course. Makeup processing was a lot different back then than it is today, and even some of the applicators, like mascara, were a whole lot different. You can bet that they follow this makeup-creating process to a 'T'. It's a huge hit of nostalgia for those who still have their very first 1950s Ruby-red lipstick. Beauty Insider / Besame CosmeticsBesame Cosmetics actually stirs and melts their pigments together to create their stunning, signature red lipsticks. They have their full lipstick-creating process listed on their website for all consumers to view. Step 1: Finesse the Formula "Women seldom have time to re-apply lipstick throughout the day, so long-wearing was a priority for this lipstick. Denser colors provide longer wear, so we created a weightless, high-pigment formula that stays put with a semi-matte satin finish." Step 2: Make the Molds "An engineer created technical drawings which the factory used to make custom molds built in the U.S. Accuracy is crucial, since even a millimeter variation can make the mechanism fail. Our molds have a special blunt tip to make application easier, and can hold 80 lipsticks at a time." Step 3: Design the Packaging "After testing many design and color combinations, we mocked up the final packaging of the tube and fit the decorative illustrations around the 3D model. Ultimately, we chose the chrysanthemum for its popularity in early deco packaging, and for the motif’s timeless, yet fresh appeal." Beauty Insider / Besame CosmeticsStep 4: Fill the Bullets"First, we hand-pour hot lipstick into the molds for castings. Then, we scrape excess lipstick from the top of the mold in order to remove the casting. Lastly, we inspect the castings for any defects, and discard anything that’s not perfection." Step 5: Release the Castings "After cooling off on a frozen table, we release the cast lipsticks from the mold and rest them on a tray before inserting them into their metal bases. We then carefully attach them to our decorated bullet, and slightly flame the lipstick to remove the surface marks and create a high-shine finish." Read onto the NEXT page for more information on this awesome vintage makeup... Now, onto their mascaras, another funky vintage makeup item that has changed dramatically over the years. Besame Cosmetics sells a cake mascara in a tin container. It literally just looks like a small, black cake. Just dip the mascara wand in some water to get it damp, rub it in the mascara cake, and apply. This way of applying mascara dates back to the 1920s specifically. You can see on their website when the years progress, the packaging also changes, meaning that by the 1940s mascara was packaged in a box like we know it to be today. Beauty Insider / Besame CosmeticsSimilar to their lipsticks and mascaras, their fragrances are also inspired by scents from different decades, starting in 1910! The founder of the cosmetics line, Gabriela Hernandez, is extremely proud of the inclusivity of generations that the shop has brought for others. "We get all kinds of generations of people," she says, "So we get girls coming with their moms, and their grandma, or their aunt, and all of them kind of can see something that they remember, and they can share that with each other, which is really neat." Beauty Insider / Besame CosmeticsThe one and only Besame Cosmetics shop location can be found at 3505 W Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91505.
