If you haven't read any of my previous makeup posts, I like to exfoliate my lips with Fresh Sugar Lip Polish and prime with Too Faced Lip Insurance Lip Primer. Once the primer dries, I line my lips with Besame's Rose and Pink Masterliner Lip Pencil. I love that their liners are double sided, you get two for the price of one! For this look I used the Pink side.

Once my lips are lined, it's time to pull out the star of the show: Besame's Portrait Pink Lipstick. Portrait Pink is a true replica of a color from 1963, which means it has that mid-century feel with a twist of mod. I love that this pink isn't too pink, it has a rich enough pigment without giving me terrible high school makeup flashbacks. While applying your lipstick straight from the tube is fine, I like to use their Travel Lip Brush. It gives you more control over the application process, which is perfect for a novice like myself. I also think it helps apply the lipstick evenly and keeps it there longer. While I'll sometimes top off my look with a clear gloss, I feel like this shade does well on its own.

To top of my sweet and spooky look I added my favorite vintage hair scarf and my Peasant Top in Spiderweb print from Pinup Girl Clothing. I love adding elements of Halloween without making it the main focus of my look. Spooky can still be cute, wearable, and vintage inspired!

I love that color and I've wanted it for such a long time, but then Besame Cosmetics decided they don't deliver to Europe anymore and that was it for me :( Lost for good, unless I turn to Sephora (US) with hopes that they have this and many other shades of Besame lipsticks I want to get AND that they'd deliver to Finland. It would be such a bummer if I can't have this lipstick :/
