When she opens the bathroom cabinet, some NARS Soft Touch shadow pencils can be seen. I do believe the exact shades are Iraklion, Queen, Silver Factory and Goddess. The last one on the right could be Hollywoodland, though.

With the Red Devil killing spree still going strong, Chanel #5 (Abigail Breslin) and Chanel #3 (Billie Lourd) seal the pact of surviving Chanel Oberlin, the co-president of the Kappa House. In this scene, Chanel #3 is doing her pedicure, using Christian Louboutin Loubi nail care kit, which includes a nail primer and a nail gloss. On the marble counter, a Chanel blush compact can be seen.

Thanks to Yaenii for the perfume sighting.

zpalette_bornunicornThere are lots of make-up products in Chanel Oberlin’s dressing table drawer. From left to right: there is a MAC 190 foundation brush, along with Dior Diorshow Maximizer lash plumping serum in the white tube, L’Oreal Color Riche eyeshadow quad (the shade could be Cupa Joe #839 or Because You’re Worth It! #841), two Stila Lip Glaze glosses, a MAC lip liner and a black Z Palette with depotted blushes and eyeshadows.

macslimshine_bornunicornChuck Charles (Anna Friel) is wearing a MAC Slimshine lipstick.

I asked David De Leon (the show’s make-up artist) if he remembered the exact shade, but he didn’t. The episode aired on October 8th, 2008, so it was shot some months earlier; MAC launched Slimshine lipsticks in 16 shades in May 2007: we can assume one of those first shades was used on the actress. My guess is Pink d’Lush, described as bright pink-coral.

Scream S01E09 (The Dance)

screams01e09_bornunicorn (1)I love Emma’s look in this episode, which focuses on a Halloween party. Emma’s costume is a homage to Pulp Fiction‘s Mia Wallace – white shirt and black cropped pants, black pageboy hair, red nails and matching lips. While she’s getting ready for the event, some interesting items can be seen on her dressing table.

1930sMascara_grandeThere are a bottle of Schwarzkopf got2b Smooth Operator leave-in conditioner and a bottle of Sally Hansen nail polish in a beige shade, probably Without a Stitch. There’s also a gold tube of Bésame mascara, with the trademark bullet shape and chrysantemum motif.

dior999lipstick_bornunicornI was a bit on the fence when it comes to her lipstick: the tube looked Dior to me but I was not sure. Thanks to the show’s make-up artist, Ashley Walsh, now I know I was right. Ashley explained she used several shades on Willa Fitzgerald, including the Dior that appears in this scene (N°999) and Bésame Red Hot Red.
