Behind the Scenes of the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar Party: Reese Witherspoon 

Reese Witherspoon didn’t walk the Oscars red carpet this year, but was among the guests of the Vanity Fair Oscar party, which took place at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills. The actress, who wore a lovely Michael Kors Collection dress, posted a picture of her dressing table on her Instagram stories. Let’s see what was on it.

The silver eyeshadow in the black compact is Chanel Ombre Essentielle Soft Touch in #97 Infini.nars_bellissima_sycorax_bornunicornnarsissistpalette_bornunicornIn front and next to it there are two NARS eyeshadow. The duo is probably Bellissima, while the single is the Dual Intensity in Sycorax. There’s a NARSissist eyeshadow palette, too.

Last but not least, two NARS blushes in neutral colours.

 

Behind the Scenes of the 89th Academy Awards: Emma Stone

emmastone_oscars2017_bornunicorn-1Thank God for Instagram and make-up artist accounts on a night like the Oscars night! Lots of pictures from the dressing rooms of celebrities were posted tonight, but the ones which really caught my eye came from Rachel Goodwin’s account. The NARS director of Pro Artistry and Red Carpet for North America, who describes herself as “ice cream aficionado and all around beauty seeker,” was behind the lovely look seen on Emma Stone, winner as Best Actress in a Leading Role for La La Land by Damien Chazelle.

She mostly used NARS products – Illuminator in Hot Sand, Radiant creamy concealer (I guess in Chantilly), Dual-Intensity blush in Frenzy. The bronzer on the right is NARS Sweep Sun Wash diffusing bronzer in Seaside (available for Spring 2017) and the tiny bottle on the left (liquid tint or liquid blush?) is surely another upcoming product.

On the table there are two Sisley products – Black Rose cream mask and White Ginger contouring oil for legs; there’s a Sisley blush brush, too. Last but not least, we get to know the PERFUME she used – Diptyque Do Son eau de parfum! This fragrance, created by Fabrice Pellegrin, is a sunny and creamy blend of tuberose, orange leaves, pink peppercorn and musk.

emmastone_oscars2017_bornunicorn-2The strongest detail of this Gabriel Dante Rossetti-inspired look was the bold lip colour. Rachel used NARS Audacious lipstick in Mona, a beautiful mahogany tone. The lip liner she used was Karekare. This beautifully complimented her gold embroidered dress, a haute couture creation by Givenchy.

FYI: here the complete details of this look.

riverdale_s01e03_bornunicorn-7The rigged gold tube she reaches for is definitely a vintage lipstick, possibly by Avon, which still has a Pink Perfection shade in its collection.

Someone to Watch Over Me (1987)

someonetowatchoverme_bornunicorn-1Claire Gregory (Mimi Rogers) and Mike Keegan go shopping at a luxury department store. She’s an habitual customer, so she greets the sales assistant sitting at the perfume counter.

chanelno5_dabberbottle_bornunicornjeandesprez_balaversaillescologne_bornunicornAmong the several bottles on the counter, I’ve spotted a Chanel perfume in three sizes, a giant bottle of Jean Desprez Bal à Versailles eau de cologne and a giant Caron bottle. I can only assume the Chanel perfume is no.5, but the same bottle has been used for other fragrances.

profumi_jean-patou_1000_46919649One bottle of Ungaro Diva makes its appearance, too. In the background, on the right, a giant bottle of a Jean Patou perfume can be seen. It’s unclear whether it’s Joy or 1000, because the two perfumes have the same bottle.

How to Get Away with Murder S03E13 (It’s War)

elizabetharden_untold_bornunicornSeveral medicine bottles can be seen in Bonnie’s bathroom cabinet, along with a perfume bottle – Elizabeth Arden Untold, a fruity floral perfume created by Clement Gavarry and launched in 2013. It’s quite surprising that such a hard character wears such a girly perfume, but the ways in which we choose perfumes are often inscrutable.

howtogetawaywithmurder_s03e13_bornunicorn-2aveeno_clearcomplexiondailymoisturiser_bornunicornWe can also see a bottle of Aveeno Clear Complexion daily moisturiser.

ninaricci_coeurjoie_bornunicornThere are two Nina Ricci perfumes on Jackie Kennedy’s dressing table in her bedroom at the White House. On the left there’s L’air du temps, created by Francis Fabron and launched after the WWII, in 1948. On the right there’s Coeur Joie, a white floral perfume, created by Germaine Cellier and launched in 1946; the cut-out heart-shaped bottle was designed by Marc Lalique.

Thanks to PaleBlueMoon for the L’air du temps id.

Jackie (2016)

jackie_bornunicornThere are four Guerlain perfumes in Jackie Kennedy’s bathroom at the White House.

jeandesprez_balaversailles_bornunicornNext to them, a bottle of Bal à Versailles by Jean Desprez can be seen.

I’m sorry to say that the choice of the bottles is lazy and inaccurate. Take Mitsouko, for example: the spray version of this bottle came out in 1995, not in the 1960s. The same can be said for the flacon abeille, a spray version of which was launched in 1992. Why didn’t the prop master use original bottles? Such a disappointment for an Oscar-nominated film!

Thanks to my Instagram friend Mustapha for the id.
