The kitchen's menu centers on classic, long-lasting lipsticks in shades such as Cherry Red 1935, Victory Red 1941, Dusty Rose 1969, Red Velvet, Red Hot Red, Maria Felix, and the cornerstone Besame Red 1920, a true red with a cool-blue undertone. The line includes the Hydrating Lip Balm, a white glass jar formula with jojoba oil and green tea extract, and the Cake Mascara 1930, a water-activated lash enhancer, eyeliner and brow definer built on a 100-year-old formula used during the golden age of cinema. The house also serves Cold Cream and a 30-day return policy on core products. Its founder, Gabriela Hernandez, is a makeup historian, collector and designer who built the collection around restraint, craftsmanship and lasting design rather than trend.

The restaurant sits on South Rampart Street at the corner of Canal Street, a short walk from North Rampart Street and South Rampart Street. The Saenger Theatre is steps away, and the public artworks Simón Bolívar and Molly Marine stand within about a tenth of a mile.

Bésame is known for its positive rating from the customers who have reviewed it, and for a menu of vintage-inspired shades that has earned a following among diners who want a red lip that lasts through a long evening in New Orleans.
