esteelaudersensuousnoir_bornunicorn-1.jpgThere are four perfume bottles sitting on Jackie’s vanity. Two of them are decorative objects, but two are real perfumes. The octagonal bottle is Jean Charles Brosseau Ombre Rose L’Original, a woody powdery fragrance created by Francoise Caron and launched in 1981. The purple one is Estee Lauder Sensuous Noir, a flanker of the 2008 perfume Sensuous: created by Annie Buzantian, it was launched in 2010.

Oscars 2019’s Dressing Table Round-Up

The big night happened and delivered lots of glamour! I was really looking forward to reading the Oscars winner list this morning but my mind was actually on the red carpet. I loved many outfits and beauty looks, even if the neutral trend seems to go still strong and no extravagant trends were seen. As usual, I’ve collected the most interesting kits that make-up artists have posted on Instagram, starting from Sarah Uslan, who did Olivia Colman’s make-up.

Cosmetics by Pat McGrath Labs, skincare by Emma Hardie (Plump & Glow hydrating facial mist, Midas Touch revitalising eye serum and face serum duo, Moisture Boost vitamin-C cream) and Lashify lashes were used on the British actress who won as Best Actress for The Favourite by Yorgos Lanthimos.

Another kit by Pat McGrath Labs was used by Moani Lee, who did Kacey Musgraves’ dreamy make-up to match the baby pink tulle dress by Giambattista Valli.

Chanel make-up in neutral and golden tones was used by Alex Babsky on Tessa Thompson, who wore a black Chanel dress with silver and gold accents. The eyeshadow palettes seen above are Les 9 Ombres in Édition N°2 Quintessence and Les 4 Ombres in Codes Élégants #274.

Last but not least, Jillian Dempsey‘s kit for Emilia Clarke had Dolce & Gabbana cosmetics only. In the picture above, she’s holding the Sicilian Lace palette, which includes four eyeshadows, one blush, one highlighter and two lipsticks. What I love in the first picture is not only the nice packaging of the make-up products but the presence of a perfume bottle, too! It seldom happens to see what fragrances celebrities wear on the red carpet, so this is a fortunate coincidence. The perfume here is The Only One eau de parfum, launched in 2018 as a variation of the 2006 perfume The One. In the first picture we can also see Dempsey’s Gold Bar, a 24-carat, gold plated, vibrating t-bar used as skin sculpting and contouring tool.

What do you think of the dressing tables I’ve selected? What are your favourites?

Padroni di casa (2012)

padronidicasa_bornunicorn (1)There are medicines and beauty products on a tray by Moira’s bed.

santamarianovella_calendulacream_bornunicornThe white jar with the cap printed in blue letters is Crema Calendula by Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica Santa Maria Novella. This is still on the market, but with a different packaging (tube instead of jar).sisleycreamjar_bornunicorn.jpgThere’s another white jar: this has the capital “s” engraved on the cap. It’s by Sisley but it’s impossible to say more about it. As a matter of fact, this jar is used for several skincare products.penhaligonsartemisia_bornunicornThere’s also a Penhaligon’s perfume. Judging from the ribbon bow on the bottle, it’s Artemisia, a powdery/milky fragrance launched in 2002.

La donna della domenica (1975)

keramineh_bornunicornWhile Anna Carla (Jacqueline Bisset) is having her hair done, we can see a box of Keramine H hair treatment vials on the mirror shelf in front of her. This is a quintessentially Italian product which I’ve seen since forever in supermarkets and hairdresser’s.

The woman’s hairdresser is Gil Cagné, a make-up artist who worked with celebrities like Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, Virna Lisi, Bette Davis and Liza Minnelli, and became art director for Max Factor.
