There’s a bottle of Oil of Olay in Clarence’s bathroom. It definitely belongs to Alabama.

Golden Globes 2019’s Dressing Table Round-Up
I’ve had a passion for people’s make-up cases and bathroom cabinets since I was a child, so you can imagine my enthusiasm when it comes to celebrities’ dressing tables. I am not really interested in knowing the products they use because I want to replicate their looks, but because what they use tells a lot about beauty habits and trends.
Today, the day after the 76th Golden Globes, I’ve selected some make-up kits that artists have posted on their Instagram accounts: seeing all these beautiful items displayed on tables, bamboo mats or towels is such a feast for the eyes!
The first kit has been used by Hung Vanngo to achieve the beautiful tropical look seen on Camilla Belle. It only includes Chanel products.
This kit was used by Georgie Eisdell for the soft smokey eye look on Thandie Newton. It includes Chantecaille cosmetics and skincare, like the Rose de Mai face oil and the gold energizing eye recovery mask.
This picture, posted by make-up artist Nick Barose, includes the source of inspiration (Yves Klein’s blue) for the look seen on Lupita Nyong’o, which included eyes lined in bright blue and matching Lashify eyelashes.
Daniel Martin did a “sparkly bruised eye” look on Elisabeth Moss, using Dior, Honest Beauty, Clé de Peau and Charlotte Tilbury products.
I love the old Hollywood glamour of the Charlotte Tilbury kit used by Lisa Aharon for the neutral look seen on Rachel Brosnahan.
Mélanie Inglessis snapped a picture of her Chantecaille kit after using it on Rosamund Pike. I really like the lip colour she used on the actress – Lip Chic lipstick in Amour.
This is the Pat McGrath kit that Stephen Sollitto used on Amy Adams. Neutral tones and glossy pink lips to match her Calvin Klein dress.
Monika Blunder used Clé de Peau products on Gemma Chan, including the Lipstick Cashmere in Legend. On the table there’s also a Boy Smells candle in Cedar Stack.
I am in awe of the massive kit Charlotte Tilbury displayed for Penelope Cruz. I guess it includes basically her whole make-up line.
Last but not least, Lili Reinhart and the intense look created by Adam Breuchaud using Pat McGrath Mothership V: Bronze Seduction eye palette.
I can’t wait for the upcoming award ceremonies to see more dressing tables!
Judy Garland’s Make-Up Case (1968)
If I think of all the make-up cases, dressing tables and vanities I’ve written about on this blog, I don’t think I’ve ever been excited like this time. The present entry is something special, because it features the make-up case of Judy Garland (circa 1968). Just from the picture above, you may see why I’m so happy: there’s a superlative selection of perfumes and toiletries! All of them are part of a lot sold at an auction: besides the make-up case, it included a sewing basket and a travel mirror, several make-up items and hair accessories, some documents, pictures and one Salvatore Ferragamo black suede pump.
Let’s see what perfumes she carried in her case.
First, not really a perfume, but a bath fragrance. It’s Ma Griffe by Carven, originally created by Jean Carles and launched in 1946.
The stunning white bottle with black label and gold lettering is a Guerlain talc; the fragrance is Vol de Nuit, one of the most famous creations by Jacques Guerlain, launched in 1933.
It’s not surprising that the perfume bottles she travelled with were spray (and not splash). The fluted one with black and gold stopper is Arpege by Lanvin, a creation of Andre Fraysse launched in 1922.
The lace-like bottle is none other than Femme by Rochas, created by Edmond Roudnitska and launched in 1944.
I wish I could identify the make-up items too, but they unfortunately have no labels and a pretty standard packaging.
Skate Kitchen (2018)
When Camille (Rachelle Vinberg) and her girlfriends go to a party, Kabrina (Kabrina Adams) dolls her up by applying a MAC lipstick in a vibrant purple shade, which I think is Heroine.
Marc Almond’s Dressing Room (2018)
On December 19th and 20th, 2018, Marc Almond performed with the Jools Holland Orchestra at the Newcastle City Hall. The pictures he takes of his dressing rooms are the best, because they always feature interesting cosmetics (in this case, interesting books too!)
The tube on the left is Becca Ever-Matte poreless priming perfector.
The silver compact just under the EcoTool brush sleeve is BeneFit Brow Zings, an eyebrow shaping kit.
One of the two Kiko Milano silver compacts definitely contains the cream compact foundation; the other could be a pressed powder.
The round black pot by Kiko could be the full-coverage concealer.
There’s also a can of Moroccanoil Luminous hairspray.
The silver compact is Dior Nude Air powder.
Riverdale S02E18 (A Night to Remember)
There’s a can of L’Oreal Elnett Satin Supreme Hold hairspray on Veronica and Betty’s dressing table.
Riverdale S01E13 (The Sweet Hereafter)
Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) is getting ready for the Jubilee event.
On her dressing table there’s a bottle of Essie nail polish in a coral orange shade (possibly California Coral) and Covergirl Outlast Stay Luminous liquid foundation,
The So Lashy! Blast Pro mascara by Covergirl makes another appearance.
Riverdale S01E11 (To Riverdale and Back Again)
Cheryl Blossom is making Polly’s make-up for a homecoming event. All cosmetics she uses are by Covergirl.
There are two products from the Clean Matte line – liquid foundation and pressed powder.
Other two are from the Outlast All-Day line – pressed powder and creamy concealer.
The eye-shadow palette is TruNaked Jewels.
Riverdale S01E07 (In A Lonely Place)
Alice Cooper (Mädchen Amick) retouches her make-up with Covergirl Outlast All-Day matte finishing powder.
