There’s a bottle of Mentadent Dual Action mouthwash in Carrie’s bathroom.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)
There’s a cute teddy bear bottle of hot pink nail polish on a shelf in Hedwig’s trailer. You can see it in the number Wig in a Box.
It’s a Fing’rs nail polish from the late 1990s/early 2000s. Such a playful shape has a deeper meaning in the film: the bear is the symbol of Berlin, the city where Hedwig comes from; furthermore, gummy bears (teddy bear-shaped fruit gum candy) are among Hedwig’s favourite sweets, as shown in the scene where she first meets Luther.
Evangeline Lilly’s Dressing Table
The Canadian actress posted this picture on her Instagram account: she was putting on some make-up on the set of her latest film, Ant-Man by Peyton Reed, where she plays the role of Hope Van Dyne.
The tiny tube on her tablet is Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics lip tar. The exact shade she used is NSFW, described as true, balanced red.
Crazy in Alabama (1999)
The protagonist, Lucille Vinson (Melanie Griffith), goes to Las Vegas and – beginner’s luck – wins a lot of money at the casino. She gets a make-over, which includes a glamourous haircut and a professional manicure. The nail polish they use at the salon is by Revlon. The bottle is from the 1980s, so it’s not historically accurate, since the film is set in 1965.
Helen, Queen of the Nautch Girls (1973)
This Is England ’90 E03
While Combo (Stephen Graham) is getting ready to have a bath, we get a glimpse of Avon Charisma perfumed talc in Lol and Woody’s bathroom shelf.
Scream Queens S01E02 (Hell Week)
There 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.
Pushing Daisies S02E02 (Circus, Circus)
Chuck 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 Queens S01E01 (Pilot)
Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts) is wearing MAC lipstick in Hot Gossip, as explained by the show’s make-up artist Eryn Krueger Mekash in a recent interview.
