One of the most important scenes of the film is when the actress Daphne Kluger (Anne Hathaway) finally gets to wear the Toussaint, a $150 million Cartier diamond necklace, for the Met Gala.
Her dressing table is packed with Marc Jacobs make-up, among which several bottles of Re(marc)able liquid foundation.
Here she’s holding Air Blush soft glow duo.
The large compact is Instamarc light-filtering contour powder.
In the morning, Kayla (Elsie Fisher) puts her make-up with a pink pear-shaped sponge, which is likely to be the Sephora Airbrush one. It’s a very generic tool and many brands make it, but I like to think she got it at a shop she could find in a mall.
The eye pencil she uses is by MAC.
There are Dove Go Fresh deodorant in Cucumber & Green Tea Scent and Simple soothing facial toner in Kayla’s bedroom.
Thanks to Emily in the comments for the Simple id.
One of the opening scenes is set in the protagonist’s bathroom. He’s standing alone in front of the mirror, but he’s looking at the other side of the counter, where many beauty products are. A close-up on this side shows us that it used to be Helen’s, his dead wife.
In the central part of the counter I’ve spotted a bottle of Kiehl’s Creme de Corps, Marvis toothpaste in Cinnamon Mint and some Jo Malone perfumes.
There are other products around the washbasin, among which a small bottle of L’Occitane Verveine shower gel (old packaging) and a NARS lipstick.
Jack (Keanu Reeves) and Lindsay (Winona Ryder) are attending a wedding neither of them is happy to attend, but they find a connection between them. At the ceremony, for example, they comment on the minister, a friend of the newlyweds. Jack asks if he’s wearing make-up and Lindsay confirms it by namechecking one product Levy always uses.
It’s the Radiant Creamy concealer by NARS.
There’s a bottle of Van Cleef & Arpels First on a glass shelf next to Marc (Gaspard Proust).
The episode opens with an ordinary scene: the heiress Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt (Leslie Grossman) is getting a haircut. She wants to become an Instagram influencer: she has no intention to “show her full ass crack” so her hairstyle “has to be on point.” Her hair stylist is Mr. Gallant (Evan Peters), who comes from a rich family just like Coco but, unlike her, has been able to make something out of himself: he’s a celebrity hair stylist, “the new Chris McMillan“.
The hairspray Mr. Gallant uses on Coco is Wella Mistify Me Light from the EIMI line.
On the counter in front of Coco there are other products from the same line: Perfect Setting (but Sugar Lift and Body Crafter have the same spray bottle) and Stay Styled hairspray.
On the same counter there’s also a Mason Pearson hairbrush.
Sally (Meg Ryan) uses Aqua Net all-purpose hairspray.
While watching the film, seeing a bottle of Clarins Eau Dynamisante on Allie’s dresser didn’t surprise me at all. I think very few perfumes can capture a certain 1990s vibe as accurately as this perfume. Fresh, citrusy and never overpowering, it was created by Jacques Courtin-Clarins in 1987. It was the epitome of that chic minimal mood with an active twist which was a staple of that decade.
There’s Perlier Honey cream soap in Allie’s bathroom.
The Italian brand was huge in the 1990s, so this sighting brings back lots of memories. I’ve lost count of the times I gifted friends with Perlier’s lovely bodycare products. My favourite lines were White Almond, White Musk and Honey.
