One of the last scenes of the film are set at Jimmy O’s barbershop. Here some classic products can be seen: a small Barbicide disinfectant jar and a bottle of Pinaud Clubman talc.

Orange is the New Black S03E05 (Fake It Till You Fake It Some More)
Galina Reznikov’s nickname is Red, not without a reason: red hair, fingernails and lipsticks are her trademarks. Despite living in a prison, she uses a luxury lipstick, which happens to be from the Noir collection by Julie Hewett. Two are the possible shade options.
This is Femme Noir, a classic blue-based 30s scarlet red. It was worn by Lily Rabe as Sister Mary Eunice in American Horror Story: Asylum.
This is Rouge Noir, a 40s-inspired true movie-star red. Even if the two colours are quite similar, I think Femme Noir is the best guess, since it’s cooler and bluer than Rouge Noir.
Scream S01E04 (Aftermath)
There is a hilarious conversation in this episode: it comes at a tragic moment (one of the protagonists has been killed) but Brooke Maddox (Carlson Young), the spoiled brat of the bunch, is able to relieve it. She calls Emma (Willa Fitzgerald) asking to help her choose “funeral nail polish”.
Both options are by OPI: the first shade she mentions is Titanium (shimmery dark silver, from the fall 2014 Designer Series collection), while the second is Black Onyx (classic black from the core collection).
The girl finally opts for Black Onyx, commenting that her friend would approve. Who knows? Maybe she’s right. Too bad we will never know.
Amy Winehouse’s Make-Up Case
Thick eyeliner flicks were among her most notable trademarks. She probably experimented with several products, but in the picture above she was using Rimmel Exaggerate liquid eyeliner.
I love this picture, where Amy was shopping for nail polishes at a drugstore. She selected a couple of red shades from the Mavala display. The tiny bottles and the wide colour selection make the Swiss brand one of my favourites.
The connection between Amy and Chanel became clear when Karl Lagerfeld sent his models sporting thick eyeliner and beehives on the runway of the Métiers d’Art pre-fall 2008 collection. Amy had her own unique style but she liked Chanel bags and make-up. In the picture above, she was putting on some Chanel lipstick in a bright pink shade.
In a photoshoot she did with Elina Kechicheva for Jalouse on January 25th, 2008, she was holding a Chanel black compact containing Double Perfection Lumière foundation and a Chanel Le Crayon Lèvres lip pencil in a pink nude shade.

There’s Clinique Even Better foundation in Jay Height’s bathroom.
Mr Selfridge S01E03
Valerie Maurel (Joséphine de la Baume) works for the American advertising agency J. Walter Thompson. Mr Selfridge asks her to give him advice on whether to sell make-up products on the store’s new beauty counters. She shows Mr Selfridge and department heads some make-up items, among which a yellow loose powder box. This is Houbigant Quelques Fleurs powder box, with the trademark flower basket on the lid. Houbigant was founded in Paris in 1775, but this specific face powder was released in the 1940s. The choice is historically inaccurate, but I must admit it’s convincing.
The Women (2008)
Tanya (Debi Mazar) is putting a MAC lipstick on.
Nashville S03E19 (The Storm Has Just Begun)
Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere) retouches her red lips with a Clinique Chubby Stick.
I’m a bit on the fence when it comes to identifying the exact shade used by Juliette: I do believe she’s applying it on top of a red lipstick, but it’s definitely a matching red colour.
It could be Heftiest Hibiscus (if it were the intense moisturizing lip colour balm) or Two Ton Tomato (if it were the moisturizing lip colour balm).
Pretty Little Liars S06E06 (No Stone Unturned)
There’s a bottle of Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy perfume on Emily’s dresser. The gourmet floral fragrance, launched in 2008, includes notes of wild berries, mandarin, honeysuckle, gardenia and jasmine, plus amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and pralines.
