I really like the way it looks on my fair skin. The texture is creamy and non-drying, and the color is a flattering shade that sits perfectly between pink and peach, neither too bright nor too pale. It works beautifully for day, but can also be worn at night with a dramatic eye look. Hepburn wears the shade (or a similar one) with a smoky brown eye and winged liner in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Is Revlon Pink in the Afternoon discontinued? And since the search was unexpectedly long, I will make things easier for you and present you with a list of the best dupes that I found. Revlon – Pink In The Afternoon Besides that, the formula also contains SPF 15 to protect your lips from overdrying and becoming damaged by the UV rays. Closing Thoughts The formula is excellent for warm undertones and is long-lasting, creamy, and very hydrating to the lips. Burberry Kisses – Golden Peach No. 69

If the shade Holly Golightly wore in the taxi cab is Revlon's, they must not have sufficient proof to that effect. Or, they do have the proof, but they are not using it any current or recent ad campaigns or press releases. One vote for Pink In The Afternoon is that Audrey reportedly wore Fire And Ice in Funny Face (1957) so it wouldn't be too far of a jump to say she would wear another Revlon shade in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). It is also possible that Pink In The Afternoon was originally named something else. Looking at the shade list from the 50s, the color Blase Apricot seems to resemble the salmon-pink color that Holly Golightly wore, but other than that I have seen no mention of it. It applies smoothly and evenly across the lips and is also buildable if you want extra shine. You also don't have to worry that it will settle into the creases of your lips because it tends to fill them up quite nicely.

It's also possible that Revlon created a custom shade for Audrey at the time as she was most definitely a rising star in the 50s. They may have decided in the 80s to make the shade available and called it Pink In The Afternoon - although it's still a mystery why they wouldn't name it something related to Breakfast at Tiffany's. The formula is also very hydrating as it contains soothing, nourishing, and softening ingredients, including aloe vera, jojoba, avocado, and babassu oils, as well as Illipe butter, which is an ingredient derived from Malaysian Illipe trees and provides long-lasting moisture to the delicate skin on the lips. Burberry Kisses – First Blush No.28 Recent flub: "Ballerina Shoes" "L'Oreal" Pale enough, almost too pale, but also too warm a pink (for me). And without delving into Audrey's biography, we all know that the woman was a force of nature who led a remarkable and charitable life from her early childhood, throughout her career, all the way to her untimely passing. A while ago, I did some research and felt confident I could confirm that Audrey Hepburn did not wear Pink in the Afternoon by Revlon in Breakfast at Tiffany's -- a myth that is very popular on the interwebz. Instead it was released in the Spring of 1983, with a name inspired by Hepburn's movie Love in Afternoon.

If you are shy, lip glossy kind of a person, you still need those baby pink lips for some days and I am sure you will be able to pull it off. The only downside with the product, much like with any other gloss, is that it will definitely be a glue for anything you eat, so you will surely have to remove it and reapply it once you're done eating. But she did not wear it in "Breakfast at Tiffany's", as has been widely rumored. (Who knew there's been a hot debate raging online about this!) If you search "Revlon Pink In The Afternoon" online, you just might find its connection with Audrey Hepburn...but was it the actual shade worn by Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's?Apparently, Revlon's “Pink In The Afternoon” is quite difficult to find, and it’s not unusual for there to be a waiting list for it in stores. Revlon – Dewy Peach Burberry’s Burberry Kisses Hydrating Lip Colour in “69 Golden Peach” is a brighter peach, unlike most muted tones on the list so far. That shade hadn't even been invented then. Also, the pink that she applied in the famous "rainy cab" scene with George Peppard, looks more peachy-coral than "....Afternoon" does. She did wear "Pink in the Afternoon" later, in the stunning Revlon ad above. Gorgeous Audrey is so beautiful in it!

If that was the actual shade, then they've definitely tweaked it a little bit in recent years, most probably to preserve the authenticity. However, they still kept it as close to the original as possible so that it sells, and it works for them! I made a TikTok video reviewing Pink In The Afternoon and Revlon did comment on it, complimenting the shade. They've also reposted videos to their socials that implies the shade is from the movie. Very interesting stuff. Contrary to popular belief, Revlon's “Pink In The Afternoon” isn't actually the shade Audrey Hepburn wore in her iconic cab ride scene, but it’s definitely one of the closest ones, which is why it found its way onto this list. It goes on with an incredibly soft and lightweight texture and helps moisturize and smooth the lips. A bonus ingredient is hyaluronic acid which helps attract moisture into the skin and leave it plump and hydrated. One could reasonably assume that by combining Audrey wearing Pink In The Afternoon with ad copy about Breakfast at Tiffany's that Revlon was confirming she wore the shade in the movie. For a while, it was rumored that this was THE shade, but doubts soon followed.As for the 60's brand, I would put my money on it being from Dior. Hepburn was a francophile with expensive tastes. She didn't seem to wear Chanel much, and I don't think Givenchy and YSL started their makeup line until the mid to late 60s. This pinky nude has a cream texture that's comfortable to wear, and it's quite a flattering shade for both warm and cool-toned complexions. I still think it's more mauve than what she wore in the 60s, but if looks good on you who really cares?

It has a semi-opaque pigmentation that applies evenly and a non-drying formula that’s comfortable to wear and is hydrating to the lips. The texture applies evenly and has a moderate slip with semi-opaque coverage.

It also has a very luxurious feel and wears comfortably on the lips throughout the day.
