Trying to find Marilyn Monroe's shade of lipstick from the 50s and 60s is no easy task.
It's been reported that she liked Max Factor and Guerlain - but her preferred shades are not in production today.
And while we're led to think the platinum bombshell liked to paint her lips fire engine red, one of her lipsticks purchased at a 2022 auction turned out to be orange in color.
Regardless, Besame has tried to match Monroe's warm red lipstick shade from Some Like It Hot, and many have reported it's a success -- whether it's a true color match or not.
