There’s a round tin of Bésame Cosmetics cream rouge on Zelda Sayre’s dressing table.

Red Oaks S03E05 (Paroled)
Fay Getty (Gina Gershon) uses Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color moisturizing lipstick in a dusty rose shade.
Endeavour S05E02 (Cartouche)
Guilia Gallo is reading an issue of Movies Monthly, which has a Max Factor advert as back cover. Lucille Ball stars in it, introducing new shades of lipstick. While I appreciate the effort, there’s a problem here: the episode is set in the late 1960s, while the advert is from the 1940s. The actress on the magazine cover is Veronique Carlton (Betty Denville), who appears in the episode; from this we know that the magazine is recent and not from 20 years earlier.
Red Oaks S01E07 (Body Swap)
Judy (Jennifer Grey) puts on a red Signature lipstick by Estee Lauder.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel S01E05 (Doink)
There are some Revlon lipsticks (with the ivory and gold case) on Midge’s counter. On a shelf nearby there’s a Guerlain flacon quadrilobe: impossible to say what scent it contains.
The other make-up products on the counter are by Revlon but I couldn’t identify any of them. Some are original (see the Paint the Town Pink box) but the others seem generic items with the label Revlon on them. I couldn’t find any evidence that Revlon nail polish had ever had those bottles, for example, and the same can be said for the black and red compacts. This leaves me a bit perplexed. If Revlon allowed the production of the tv show to use its name, why didn’t they provide original vintage items?
Room 104 S01E06 (Voyeurs)
The Housekeeper (Dendrie Taylor) finds a lipstick in Room 104. The sticker on the bottom of the rose gold fluted case says the shade is Bitter Love, but it’s actually Love Bite, a bright warm red shade by Charlotte Tilbury.
The Girl (Sarah Hay), who embodies the Housekeeper’s young self, uses the same lipstick.
How to Get Away with Murder S04E03 (It’s for the Greater Good)
Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) tries some lipsticks before leaving for work. One is Chanel Coco Rouge Shine.
The other is Tom Ford Lips & Boys, a lipstick collection launched in 2014.
American Horror Story S07E05 (Holes)
Ally’s horrific “scratch and pierce” dream is set in her bathroom, so we get to see some of the products she uses.
The pink bottle contains Victoria’s Secret Jeweled Citrus body mist (now discontinued).
In the clear make-up tray I can see Clinique Almost lipstick in Black Honey and another discontinued item: a MAC lipstick in a silver bullet. The Canadian brand used this packaging (and not the classic black one) just during the late 1990s.
There’s a box of Coty Airspun face powder on the wooden shelf.
There are two Epicuren skincare products on the glass shelf by the washbasin – the Enzyme Concentrate vitamin protein complex and the Gel Plus enzyme protein gel in the pump bottle.
Thanks to my friend Jennifer for the body mist id.
American Horror Story S07E02 (Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark)
There are a Louis Vuitton perfume box and a tin of Smith’s Rosebud Salve on the dressing table in Ally and Ivy’s bedroom.
Top of the Lake S02E05 (Who’s Your Daddy?)
When Robin visits Mary’s bedroom for the first time, several toiletries can be seen on a dresser.
In the picture above, a dispenser bottle of Michael Design Works Peacock hand and body lotion in Blue Lotus.
Robin holds a tube of BeneFit Inferno lip gloss, originally included in the kit The Rich is Back, created in collaboration with the British designer Matthew Williamson and launched in 2013.
There’s also a Manicare non-acetone nail polish remover.
Last, a Rexona deodorant.
