As we all know, the movie takes place in 1912, when the Titanic disaster took place. At that time, Rose’s privileged background meant she likely wouldn’t have worn that iconic red lipstick Kate Winslet donned in the movie. In fact, she probably wouldn’t have worn makeup at all.

Wearing makeup was uncommon among higher-class women in England at the time, and was associated with suffragettes and lower class females without a “proper” upbringing. We’ve got to admit, though, Kate looks pretty stunning in that lipstick.
