On the busy vanity in Merritt’s bedroom we can see Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder foundation and Fresh Sugar advanced therapy lip balm.
The Perfect Couple E02 (She Would Never Do That)
Female Perversions (1996)
After going through a dark red lipstick phase, Eve (Tilda Swinton) opts for a neutral shade.
She uses the mirror of a 1940s fan-shaped Elgin black lacquered powder compact to apply her lipstick. The compact is decorated with gold flowers inlaid in the top.
The lipstick she uses is by MAC (old packaging).
Maxxxine (2024)
Maxxxine (Mia Goth) is getting ready to shoot a porn film. There are lots of cosmetics and skincare on her dressing table.
The hairspray she uses is Aquanet super-hold hairspray.
On the table is visible Maybelline Great Lash mascara, too.
Maxxxine (2024)
Maxxine (Mia Goth) is getting ready for a night out.
The eyeshadow she uses is Estee Lauder pressed satin duo.
Longlegs (2024)
There are several bottles of nail polishes in Ruth’s bathroom.
Among them, Sally Hansen nail polish in a dark shade (possibly black), Revlon nail polish (old packaging, again in a dark shade) and OPI gold nail polish.
Maxxxine (2024)
In one of the last scenes of the film, Maxxxine (Mia Goth) is sitting in front of her dressing table, ready to start filming a new movie. Among the skincare products and toiletries on the table, the bottle on the far left has caught my attention.
It’s a gorgeous bottle of Cartier Pasha de Cartier, a fresh spicy eau de toilette created by Jacques Cavallier and launched in 1992. As LePetitCivet has recently pointed out, this is a historically inaccurate choice because this fragrance was launched well after 1985, year in which Maxxxine is set [1].
On the far right side of the table there’s a jar of Pond’s cold cream.
Even in this case, the choice is not totally accurate: in the advert above you can see what the Pond’s jar looked like in 1985. In the film the jar has the new packaging, not the original.
[1] Prop masters never seem to get Pasha de Cartier right: you may remember I noticed the same mistake in the TV show Glow.
Diaboliquement vôtre (1967)
Christiane (Senta Berger) keeps a Christian Dior houndstooth bottle on her vanity.
The front label is unreadable, so it’s impossible to tell what fragrance was in it. Some assumptions can be made, though, as discussed in this post.
Diaboliquement vôtre (1967)
There’s a bottle of L’Oreal Obao bubble bath by the tub where Frédéric (Sergio Fantoni) is soaking.
Nina Wu (2019)
Nina (Ke-Xi Wu) is on the set of the film she’s been cast for. After a difficult scene, actors take a break and Nina’s make-up is retouched.
The make-up artist hands her a black compact (by Bobbi Brown) and retouches her scarlet lip colour, which happens to be Lip Maestro by Giorgio Armani.
On the other hand, the hair stylist sprays some more hairspray (L’Oreal Elnett) to keep her sleep updo in place.
Rising Sun (1993)
Cheryl Lynn (Tatjana Patitz) is sitting in front of a very busy vanity.
The heart-shaped bottle in front of her is Escada Margaretha Ley, a white floral fragrance created by Michel Almairac and launched in 1990.
On the right side of the table there’s a nail polish bottle with white cap by Clarins.
More Clarins products can be seen, in boxed form, behind the standing mirror. Too bad I couldn’t find any pictures of this rose-printed packaging. I remember it was used for lipsticks and probably for compact foundations, too.
Talking about foundations, the bottle without cap we can see in front of the standing mirror is MAC face and body foundation.
