After the Hunt (2025)

Lancôme Advanced Génifique youth activating concentrate can be seen reflected in the tri-fold mirror on Alma’s dressing table.

The selection of this prop is not surprising: Julia Roberts has been a brand ambassador since 2009.

Right in front of Alma (Julia Roberts) we can see a Mason Pearson boar bristle and nylon hair brush.

Sinners (2025)

There are lots of products displayed on the shelves behind Lisa (Helena Hu), who helps at her parents’ drugstore.

The most recognisable one is the box of Mason Pearson hair brushes. This is a historically accurate choice: the hair brush was first created in the late 19th century, so it makes perfect sense that it was exported around the world (U.S.A. included) in the 1930s.

Someone’s Watching Me (1978)

The distinctive black bottle sitting on a dresser in Leigh’s bedroom is Lanvin’s iconic boule noire containing Arpége, a floral aldehyde fragrance created by Paul Vacher and Andre Fraysse and launched in 1927.

The advert above dates back to 1978, the year in which the film was released, and shows exactly the bottle seen in the film.

The hairbrush on her dresser is by Mason Pearson.

Thanks to Amy in the comments for the hairbrush id.

Night Bloom (2020)

Night Bloom [1] is the latest creature of the talented filmmaker and actress Coco Baudelle, a short film that has been selected by several festivals around the world, including the 2020 Venice Shorts. In a bit more than 5 minutes, we are taken into a dreamy world of white roses drenched in rain, echoes from Jennifer’s Body by Karyn Kusama, satin ribbons and a seemingly endless sleep, all accented by wonderful piano scores. Lucky for us, some scenes feature beauty products, which I’ve listed as follows.

The tall bottle with black cap on the right side of the shot is Chanel Hydra Beauty essence mist.

The plastic bottle with pink cap in the beauty case is Glossier Milky Oil make-up remover.

From the left to the right: the jar contains Aquaphor healing ointment

The Chanel white tube is Hydra Beauty mask

The tall pink bottle is Glossier exfoliating solution

The white brush with nylon tufts is by Mason Pearson

The lipstick in the floral case behind the nail polish bottle is by Gucci

Last, there’s Chanel Joues Contraste blush.

The nail polish seen in the previous shot is Chanel Le Vernis velvet nail colour in Ultime.

La vérité (2019)

masonpearson_woodenbrush_bornunicornLumir (Juliette Binoche) and her daughter Charlotte (Clémentine Grenier) are visiting Fabienne on the set of her latest film. While Charlotte is sitting at her grandmother’s vanity, we can see a Mason Pearson box by the mirror. Later in the film, Lumir is holding a brush: it’s a wooden brush with boar bristle and nylon tufts by the British brand.

Otherhood (2019)

 

 

 

The scene where Carol (Angela Bassett) gets a drastic hair make-over thanks to Erin (Heidi Gardner) takes place at a real NYC’s Lower East Side salon, the Fringe.  So it’s quite obvious to see the salon’s own haircare line (Fringe & Friends, launched in 2007) on display, along with the ubiquitous Mason & Pearson brush.
