Pretty sure it's mostly common knowledge that Peggy's classic red lipstick in Agent Carter is Beasame's Red Velvet. She wears it pretty constantly in both seasons.

I've wondered of they used it in TFA too but kinda doubt it. Maybe Age of Ultron. would be cool if they used it in Multiverse of Madness. But what no one talks about is Peggy's lipsticks that aren't red. Besame also has a shade called Dusty Rose and it's included in their Agent Carter collection. I SWEAR I've read somewhere that she wore it in season 2 but now I can't find anything official the same way they advertise Red Velvet as Peggy's Color. But I'm pretty positive she did wear it in season 2.

The shade is from 1969 which is a bit far off but Besame doesn't have many pink options. Peggy pretty much only wears pink lipstick if she's wearing pink clothes that Red Velvet would clash with. Besame has another shade from 1952, still a few years later but closer, called Wild Orchid. I can't find exactly when it was released, but an article from February 2017 said it had previously been a summer shade/stocked sporadically. Idk how long it takes to replicate decades old lipstick colors but I would assume they had it at their disposal in 2015 based on that. And it really looks like Peggy's wearing it in episodes 1x03 and 1x08.

I'm rewatching season 2 rn and seeing if I can identify any colors on her and other characters. The thing is I don't know definitively if they had Wild Orchid while making the show and Red Velvet is the only one they always connect to Agent Carter. But if you ask me Peggy's colors are Red Velvet, Dusty Rose for light pink, and Wild Orchid for a deeper pink

Bringing this back because I love it so much.

For Day 7 of Steggy Week, here’s a cover for @littlereyofsunlight‘s fantastic story, In the Heat of Battle. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

[littlereyofsunlight]

Steggy headcanon: they get super competitive over card games and board games. It began during the war: they'd play cards, or a game of chess on Steve's pocket set, and it would always end in trash talking and mutual accusations of cheating, and occasional roughhousing. People quickly learn not to get in the middle of their inexplicably intense, slightly sexually-charged gameplay. Modern day: the games and the setting may have changed, but the vibe is still the same.

YES WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STEGGY HEADCANNON MY TERRIBLE NIGHT IS SUDDENLY BETTER

For Steggy Week, Day 1:

Peggy has a thing for the way Steve’s wedding ring looks on his hand. It’s not about possessiveness (although that’s not…entirely absent) or even a nice daily reminder that they’re married. She just finds it attractive how solid, how settled, the gold is around his finger.

Steve notices. He doesn’t say anything. He likes it when she takes his hand and tucks her fingers between his.

The Carters think fairly positively of Steve - he’s polite and generally well-spoken, and there was a time when Amanda wondered whether she would ever have a son-in-law at all so there’s plenty of leeway - but he somehow gets the idea that they don’t like him enough and starts to have a bit of a complex about it. Even though he knows that Peggy doesn’t concern herself overly with her parents’ opinions, he makes it almost a mission to convince them to become members of the Steve fanclub.

Peggy makes him stop because he does the job too well and her mother starts pointedly mentioning what a wonderful and regular correspondent Steve is.

Her birthday is in April and their anniversary is September, but for some reason Steve always gives her a gift mid-June. Sometimes it’s something small - fresh rolls from her favorite bakery, the ones you have to get up early to buy at their best - and sometimes it’s larger, like the expensive custom dress which has Angie’s fingerprints all over the design, except for the choice of a specific shade of red that could have come only from Steve. It takes a few years to pick up on the pattern, but once she does, she thinks it through and remembers exactly where she was several Junes ago: at Camp Lehigh, seeing a young, stubborn GI peer out from an overly large helmet, watching him stroll his way into the back of her Jeep.

Despite herself, she’s charmed by his sentimentality. She gives him something of a present of her own.

They make a game of coming up with responses when people in the street ask if that’s really Captain America just walking around.

It’s hard to tell if Peggy’s favorite is “Well, I should hope so, I was promised that by the agency when I hired him,” because of the shocked expression from the society matron who’d inquired, or because of Steve’s vivid blush.

Steve grew up having an orange at Christmas and menus made mostly from discounted bread, eggs, and whatever local vegetables could be picked up for a penny, so every so often Peggy likes to buy something different just for fun. There’s a face he makes when he tries something new - she sees it for the first time when she brings home a bunch of jewel-toned cherries - that she thinks would make her fall in love with him even if he was a stranger.

He introduces her to his favorite nickel hot dogs and they decide it’s a fair trade.

They have enormous fights over the years - about her work with SHIELD, both the amount of it and the politics, about standing up for their values publicly as opposed to working the long game behind the scenes - which are both exacerbated and alleviated by their mutual belief in each other’s goodness.

Whenever Steve spends the night on the sofa or Peggy slams out to take a walk and leaves him attempting to fall asleep alone, they nevertheless wake up to the other curled up beside them.

There are so many arguments about British vs. American spelling that after a while the Commandos forbid them because they’re just foreplay by this point.

“You think you’re getting extra points, adding U’s where they’re not needed?” “Perhaps not strictly necessary, but certainly correct. Or are you more interested in laziness and cut corners than putting in a real effort?” “I’ll show you a real effort…” “Maybe you two haven’t noticed, but we’re at a family restaurant during the lunch rush!”

The idea of kids never seemed to merit too much discussion - being a pregnant spy didn’t fit into Peggy’s plans, and Steve had never really thought it was a possibility that he should get attached to so he’d deferred to her fairly easily - but then a SHIELD operation went awry and left them playing host to the eight-year-old son of a now-deceased physicist for what was meant to be a night, but turned into a long weekend which easily shifted to a week, and then eventually a permanent situation. They apply to be foster parents for the City of New York when Henry is fifteen, and host a variety of kids over the years: temporary stays on their way to relatives or adoptive families, kids whose lives have been destroyed by world politics, and those who’ve been left alone from much more mundane causes.

In the late eighties, some producer starts sniffing around to do a documentary called Cap’s Kids, covering this little-known element of the famous persona. The movie is cancelled when not a single one of them, from those who were in the Carter-Rogers home for only a few days to the ones who still come over for Sunday dinners and to whom Peggy and Steve are Mum and Dad, is willing to break trust and talk.

Peggy gets glasses in her fifties and Steve is enamored by them. She really only needs them for reading, but sometimes she’ll wear them around the house at random because she likes the way he reacts.

He presses a kiss on a certain place on her neck, and she knows that she’s going to have to send her optometrist a Christmas card.

Steve ages more slowly than Peggy, though by the time it’s noticeable they’ve moved to a small town upstate where everyone knows them and leaves them alone and doesn’t question anything.

But as Peggy tells him, frequently and with relish, it doesn’t really matter. One of them keeps spoiling the grandchildren and thinking about taking up gardening, and the other just requalified on the SHIELD gun range, so who’s really the old one, hmm?

Peggy and Steve were always a great team. Their combined forces prove especially effective when dealing with their twins. Michelle and Rebecca inherited their parents stubborness and sass, as well fierce protectiveness of their little family (including uncle Bucky who spoils them rotten).
