Hollywood E04 (Screen Tests)
Claire (Samara Weaving) and Camille (Laura Harrier) are getting ready to audition for the part of Peg Entwistle, the British actress who committed suicide in 1932 by jumping from the “H” on the Hollywoodland sign. On their dressing tables Bésame Cosmetics products can be seen.
On the far right side of the table the golden cap of a lipstick is visible. Probably it’s American Beauty, the cool, berry-red shade with magenta undertones that Claire wears all through the show.
On the right side of Camille’s table there’s a red round box containing Bésame crimson cream rouge, that can be used on lips and cheeks.
Hollywood E02 (Hooray for Hollywood: Part 2)
Lucille Reimann (Monica Lee Gradischek) works in the casting department at Ace Studios. Camille Washington, a promising black actress, candidates herself for a role in an upcoming film, but Lucille refuses her by saying it’s a role for a white actress.
The red lipstick Lucille is wearing is by Bésame Cosmetics.
Hollywood E01 (Hooray for Hollywood)
Avis Amberg (Patti LuPone) is a former silent movie actress who has left her glory days behind but she’s still at the centre of the public life in Hollywood: her husband *is* one of the most important movie studios in town, as she explains to young Frank Castello, the aspiring actor she’s having a rendez-vous with.
Avis is all about Old Hollywood glamour, as shown by the elegant black lace lingerie and the satin robe with feathered accents she’s wearing. But make-up has its part, too.
The lipstick she’s wearing is by Bésame Cosmetics [1]: the shade is Victory Red, deep red with a neutral base, inspired to Montezuma Red and Victory Red, two popular shades created by Elizabeth Arden in 1941.
Those were the years of WWII and Arden was asked to make a lipstick for women who served in the U.S. army; the success of Montezuma Red brought to Victory Red [2], which could be worn by all those who wanted to show their patriotism in those dark times.
[1] After extensively appearing in American Horror Story: Freakshow and Feud, it was only natural to see Bésame Cosmetics featured in Hollywood, too, for an extra touch of authenticity.
[2] The face of Victory Red was Constance Ford, who would later become a famous movie and TV show actress.

In this scene, while she’s discussing with her mother whether she deserves to win this final challenge or not, we can see two interesting beauty products on her vanity.
The silver-ish spray bottle is MAC Fix+ fixing spray.
The opaque glass bottle is Dior Diorskin Forever liquid foundation.
Deutschland 86 E06 (Tjello)
Tina Fischer receives a package from West Berlin: her brother, Thomas Posimski, is sending food, candy and toiletries.
On the left there’s a box containing Fa bar soap, produced in Germany by Henkel.
Then there’s the after shave Hâttric Classic, first launched in 1963, characterised by fresh notes of lemon, lime and bergamot.
Last but not least, the iconic blue tin of Nivea Creme, one of the most famous German beauty products. Created in Hamburg in 1911 by Oscar Troplowitz, the chemist who co-founded Beiersdorf, it’s a multi-use snow-white cream which has been a staple in the beauty kits of many generations.
La vérité (2019)
Lumir (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.
La vérité (2019)

Kika (1993)
Juana (Rossy de Palma) is Kika’s maid: she doesn’t really take care of her look, so Kika (who’s a make-up artist) decides to give her a makeover.
The compact face powder she uses is by Cacharel.
The scarlet red lipstick she puts on Juana is another product by Cacharel. The lipsticks of this short-lived line were contained in beautiful matte metal cases, the tops of which were lip-shaped.
The Girl on the Train (2016)
There are several body cleansers in Megan’s shower.
The first from the left is a body and hand wash by Jo Malone.
When she gets near the window (from where she can see the train to New York passing through), the other three products are clearer.
The first is Eucalyptus body cleanser by C. O. Bigelow.
The second is Roger & Gallet Rose gentle shower cream.
And the last tube is Elixir White hair & body wash, another C. O. Bigelow product.
Thanks to Jay for the submission and for telling me about this film: I had never watched it before and I enjoyed it a lot.
