“Whenever you hold something that is 80 years old, you definitely get a sense of history, of other people having worked on it, and especially women because it was really women that mixed all those paints,” she said. “All of the color department, all of the ink department were women and they were responsible for mixing all these shades. I saw them and they’re really very flattering colors.”

Hernandez was surprised when looking at the colors that they were so much more pastel than what you see now in the movie, which has more primary colors. Originally, they were softer and to Hernandez more wearable as colors you’d actually see on somebody. Looking at the originals, she saw how the colors have shifted over the years as the film has been remastered.

“That’s what we tried to bring out when we did the Storybook palette to show you what the original shades were of Snow White and what actually went into her character,” she said.

Matching the colors was a slight challenge since they were all very matte.

“The colors were definitely softer than you would expect so there was a lot of very soft reds instead of very vibrant reds. Some of the shades were a little trickier to match up, but they worked really well with matte shadows because they are so matte in color in the original form,” she said.

The Snow White collection will feature that 1937 Storybook Palette Hernandez mentioned, which looks like the book from the film, as well as a travel bag, Fairest vanity mirror, With a Smile and a Song cream rouge, classic and icon book bags, a pies balm trio, classic color lipsticks, Keep Singing and I’m Wishing palettes, Seven Dwarfs mini lipstick set, and Ever After translucent pearl powder. The line will be released this month and will be available online, at Bésame’s Burbank boutique, and at all BoxLunch locations.
