Agent Carter S01E03 (Time And Tide)

agentcarters01e03_bornunicornThere are two interesting make-up items on Peggy Carter’s dressing table.

I’ve always known this brand for its superglamourous advertisement campaigns and for its nail polishes, but I had no idea it made regular make-up, too. Furthermore, I had no idea it’s still in the business.

Back in the 1940s it produced make-up items, too. I don’t know exactly what the round box in the screencap above contained, but I guess it was rouge or face powder.

The British actress, who’s currently filming the tv series Agent Carter, revealed it on her Twitter account. When it comes to retro and glamourous shades, there’s one way to go: Bésame Cosmetics. The lipstick worn by Hayley is Red Velvet, a 1946-inspired colour.

It’s one of the Bésame lipsticks I’ve tried, thanks to lovely samples I received from the American brand, and I can assure you it’s a fantastic colour. If you are red-lipstick lovers, you must have it in your collection.
