On her dressing table you can see a jar of Ben Nye translucent face powder in Fair, a roll-on bottle of It Stays! body adhesive, a Mason Pearson Junior nylon and bristle hair brush, Neutrogena make-up remover cleansing towelettes, Sebastian Shaper Plus hairspray and a box of original mints by Dean & DeLuca.

The whole day was documented by the photographer, as seen in the November 3rd, 2014 issue of New York Magazine.

The dressing table of Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) is pretty busy. We can find several interesting fragrances and make-up items on it.

The ones I have identified are Tocca Bianca (a sparkling scent with bottom notes of musk and sugar), Chloé Chloé (created by Betty Busse and launched in 1975) and Penhaligon’s Cornubia (a vampy white floral scent created by Nathalie Lawson in 1991).

The make-up items include a MAC 150 blush brush and Studio Fix powder foundation.

There are two NARS lipglosses, too. I’m pretty sure one is Albatross (old packaging), while the other could be Guyane or Vent Salé (new packaging).

The Women (2008)

The two fragrances, created by Christine Nagel and Francis Kurkdjian, were launched in 2004 and in 2006.

Later in the film, another bottle of Narciso Rodriguez For Her perfume appears in Mary Haines’s bedroom.
