How to Get Away with Murder S05E14 (Make Me the Enemy)
Annalise (Viola Davis) puts on a red lipstick before going to work. It’s a MAC lipstick, even if the brand name has been covered with some silver tape. The shade could be Ruby Woo.
Oscars 2019’s Dressing Table Round-Up
The big night happened and delivered lots of glamour! I was really looking forward to reading the Oscars winner list this morning but my mind was actually on the red carpet. I loved many outfits and beauty looks, even if the neutral trend seems to go still strong and no extravagant trends were seen. As usual, I’ve collected the most interesting kits that make-up artists have posted on Instagram, starting from Sarah Uslan, who did Olivia Colman’s make-up.
Cosmetics by Pat McGrath Labs, skincare by Emma Hardie (Plump & Glow hydrating facial mist, Midas Touch revitalising eye serum and face serum duo, Moisture Boost vitamin-C cream) and Lashify lashes were used on the British actress who won as Best Actress for The Favourite by Yorgos Lanthimos.
In this picture, Sarah is applying a red lipstick.
Another kit by Pat McGrath Labs was used by Moani Lee, who did Kacey Musgraves’ dreamy make-up to match the baby pink tulle dress by Giambattista Valli.
Chanel make-up in neutral and golden tones was used by Alex Babsky on Tessa Thompson, who wore a black Chanel dress with silver and gold accents. The eyeshadow palettes seen above are Les 9 Ombres in Édition N°2 Quintessence and Les 4 Ombres in Codes Élégants #274.
Adam Breuchaud did Sarah Paulson‘s make-up using Tom Ford products.
Make-up artist Carissa Ferreri used Arbonne products on Yalitza Aparicio. In the picture she’s applying the blush Blossom.
Last but not least, Jillian Dempsey‘s kit for Emilia Clarke had Dolce & Gabbana cosmetics only. In the picture above, she’s holding the Sicilian Lace palette, which includes four eyeshadows, one blush, one highlighter and two lipsticks. What I love in the first picture is not only the nice packaging of the make-up products but the presence of a perfume bottle, too! It seldom happens to see what fragrances celebrities wear on the red carpet, so this is a fortunate coincidence. The perfume here is The Only One eau de parfum, launched in 2018 as a variation of the 2006 perfume The One. In the first picture we can also see Dempsey’s Gold Bar, a 24-carat, gold plated, vibrating t-bar used as skin sculpting and contouring tool.
What do you think of the dressing tables I’ve selected? What are your favourites?
Padroni di casa (2012)
There are medicines and beauty products on a tray by Moira’s bed.
The white jar with the cap printed in blue letters is Crema Calendula by Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica Santa Maria Novella. This is still on the market, but with a different packaging (tube instead of jar).
There’s another white jar: this has the capital “s” engraved on the cap. It’s by Sisley but it’s impossible to say more about it. As a matter of fact, this jar is used for several skincare products.
There’s also a Penhaligon’s perfume. Judging from the ribbon bow on the bottle, it’s Artemisia, a powdery/milky fragrance launched in 2002.
La donna della domenica (1975)
While Anna Carla (Jacqueline Bisset) is having her hair done, we can see a box of Keramine H hair treatment vials on the mirror shelf in front of her. This is a quintessentially Italian product which I’ve seen since forever in supermarkets and hairdresser’s.
The woman’s hairdresser is Gil Cagné, a make-up artist who worked with celebrities like Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, Virna Lisi, Bette Davis and Liza Minnelli, and became art director for Max Factor.
Io sono Mia (2019)
The fluted bottle on Mia Martini’s dressing table is a Guerlain cologne. This flacon was used for several fragrances, so it’s impossible to say what the Italian singer wore in the 1970s. I like thinking it was Shalimar.
How to Get Away with Murder S05E13 (Where Are Your Parents?)
There are several make-up products and tools on Michaela’s dresser. Among them there are Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Let It Loose hairspray, a Black Radiance Artisan Color baked blush and a foam applicator brush by EcoTools.
There are also a bottle of Smashbox Studio Skin liquid foundation, a tube of Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain lip colour and a bottle of Essie nail polish.
Thanks to Jessica in the comments who identified the Herbal Essences spray and the Smashbox foundation.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)
Two fragrances by Lucien Lelong can be seen on the middle shelf: the one with the metal stopper is Balalaika, the other is Taglio.
Balalaika was launched in 1939. Taglio has a more complex story: originally named N and launched in 1928, it was renamed Taglio for the American market in the early 1940s.
Nappily Ever After (2018)
The compact Violet (Sanaa Lathan) uses to apply make-up in the morning is Make Up For Ever Duo Mat powder foundation.
Thanks to my friend Jennifer for the id.
Kristin Scott Thomas’ Dressing Room (2018)
Last October Kristin Scott Thomas posted this selfie on her Instagram account: it was shot in a dressing room. On the table by the mirror there’s a Diptyque box, containing Baies scented oval.
