The first time I ever watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s was almost 10 years ago and on every make-up shopping trip since I’ve have wanted to find the lipstick Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.A subtle shade of pink with coral tones, completely unique and unlike the thousands of lipsticks I’ve swatched and stalked on my search for “the one”. If you’ve watched this iconic movie set in 1960s New York then you probably remember the scene with the lipstick well. Holly (Audrey Hepburn) is sat in the back of a taxi with Paul aka ‘Fred’ (George Peppard). In between Paul asking her to marry him and his infamous speech about her fear of “not wanting to be put in a cage” (blah, blah!) there was the even more important on-screen snippet where she applies the most dreamy shade of lip colour in an utterly delightful texture. The shade is the most perfect “my natural lip colour but better” tone – ideal for everyday wear!Pin for Later >> Creamy but not shimmery. An intriguing mixture of coral, nude and pink shades all blended into one glamorous lipstick bullet. The most interesting part about this shade is how so many other shades of lipstick can look very similar inside their packaging in some lights but they always turn out to be too pink, too orange or too nude. After extensive research and reading many theories including one that claimed that the lipstick was made personally for Audrey, who played Holly Golightly in the film, I discovered that the brand of lipstick worn is actually a high-street brand! The Exact Lipstick Audrey Hepburn Wore in Breakfast at Tiffany’s The mysterious lipstick shade is Revlon Pink in the Afternoon and is still available to buy today! The black bullet casing is simple yet elegant which explains why it was the perfect choice for the classic Hollywood movie.

Using our research, as well as our feedback from all of you, we’ve created the ultimate Holly Golightly lipstick which we know you absolutely adore! The Revlon brand featured a lot throughout the movies of the 50s and 60s, especially those starring Audrey Hepburn. In Breakfast at Tiffany’s she wore Revlon’s Pink in the Afternoon – a perfect combination of pink and nude. In Funny Face and generally for her 50s make-up look she wore Revlon’s Fire and Ice – a revolutionary shade of red that warms to the shade of your skin tone. Lisa Eldridge’s Audrey Hepburn Lipstick
