Homecoming S01E05 (Helping)
Heidi Bergman (Julia Roberts) is always focused on her job at the Homecoming Transitional Support Center, so it’s rare to see her in a different environment. It happens in this episode, when she visits the beauty aisles at a department store. Her attention is on a Lancôme display [1] and on one product in particular. The saleswoman (Perry Mattfeld) who assists Heidi says she “can’t live without” it. From Heidi’s question, we learn it’s a lip plumper.
The saleswoman dutifully lists its characteristics.
She holds a tube of it in her hands, so we know it’s L’Absolu Gloss Rôsy Plump lip plumper. Heidi will end up buying it, but soon she’ll wipe it away.
[1] This is not a coincidence: Julia Roberts has been a testimonial for the French brand since 2009.
How to Get Away with Murder S05E08 (I Want to Love You Until the Day I Die)
Bonnie (Liza Weil) is getting ready for Connor and Oliver’s wedding. She’s applying NARS velvet matte lip pencil in a red shade, which is probably Cruella, a passionate scarlet red.

American Horror Story S08E06 (Return to Murder House)
Constance Langdon (Jessica Lange) is a character from Season 1 whose return in Season 8 has been much awaited and anticipated. She was “born to be a mother”, as shown by her decision to commit suicide in the Murder House, so as to spend eternity with her beloved children (who already live in the house). She gives lots of importance to appearances and to her own look, so it’s not surprising that she re-applies her lipstick before dying. The shade she’s using is a nude beige, reminiscent of the 1960s/1970s (decades in which she was young and desirable).
The gold tube is visible on a coffee table in the living room where her nephew Michael (Cody Fern) finds her lifeless. It’s a lipstick by Julie Hewett. The exact shade is hard to identify: it could be Annette, Biba, Simone or Odessa.
American Horror Story S04E06 (Bullseye)
When Elsa Mars (Jessica Lange) announces she will move to Hollywood for a fresh start, her “freaks” give her a precious gift: a set of Westmores of Hollywood beauty products.
The set is made of three golden bottles and a round box. The gold bottle on the left surely contains body powder, while the box contains face powder. The three bottles look like factices, while the box is emblazoned with the Westmore logo.
Ethel Darling (Kathy Bates) explains these products are “the best” and she’s right. The brand was founded in 1917 by George Westmore, an English wigmaker who established Hollywood’s first make-up department; he became the forefather of a dynasty of make-up artists who left an indelible mark in the history of cinema.

Glow S02E10 (Every Potato Has a Receipt)
