Bound (1996)

Violet (Jennifer Tilly) is a woman who is looking for a way out of a dangerous situation: her boyfriend is a money launderer for the mafia, so she wants to make a new life for herself with the help of Corky, her fascinating ex-con neighbour.

Her femme fatale look features dark red lipstick: the one she’s applying in the screencap above is by MAC (old packaging).

The make-up brushes sitting on her mirrored dressing table are by MAC, too.

The squared bottle with black stopper on a glass shelf in the bathroom is a Chanel liquid foundation.

The blush in stick form that Gracie (Julianne Moore) is holding is by ILIA.

She also uses Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin foundation.

The lip colour Gracie applies on Elizabeth is the Divine lip & cheek duo by Lilah B.

The Birds (1963)

Once in Bodega Bay, Melanie (Tippi Hedren) gets attacked by a seagull. Mitch (Rod Taylor) tends to her head wound after taking her into a diner.

The gold compact Melanie is holding is Revlon Petite Love-Pat in the early 1960s design by French jewellers Van Cleef & Arpels.

This compact was refillable with either Love-Pat complete make-up (it combined pressed powder and foundation) or Touch and Go pressed powder.
