Elise Elliot (Dina Spybey) is a glamourous graduate who would later become an award-winning actress. On her busy dressing table there are some interesting items.

There’s a glass bottle of Cutex nail polish remover in front of the mirror.

The black and white atomiser with a Paisley pattern is Avon Patterns, a fragrance launched in 1969.

Reflected on the mirror, there’s also a bottle of Covergirl liquid foundation.

Dumplin’ (2018)

dumplin_bornunicornWill (Danielle MacDonald) is at loss after her aunt Lucy’s death and goes to one of her favourite places – a Dolly Parton-themed drag biker bar – to seek solace and inspiration. She would like to take part into the Miss Teen Bluebonnet pageant but she has doubts and doesn’t know what to do. She’ll find a mentor in Lee Wayne (Harold Perrineau), who performs as Rhea Ranged. Lee’s dressing room is a magical place where Will and her friends Hannah and Millie will learn about beauty and confidence.

There are many products on Lee’s dressing table, among which a bottle of ColorWOW Speed Dry heat-protectant blow-dry spray.

There’s also a small jar of Ben Nye translucent powder.
