Marion (Janet Leigh) is retouching her make-up. To do so, she’s holding a Max Factor compact: it’s Creme Puff creamy make-up base and powder.

The Birds (1963)
Once in Bodega Bay, Melanie (Tippi Hedren) gets attacked by a seagull. Mitch (Rod Taylor) tends to her head wound after taking her into a diner.
The gold compact Melanie is holding is Revlon Petite Love-Pat in the early 1960s design by French jewellers Van Cleef & Arpels.
This compact was refillable with either Love-Pat complete make-up (it combined pressed powder and foundation) or Touch and Go pressed powder.

There’s a can of Aquanet hairspray on Vera Miles’ dressing table.
To Catch a Thief (1955)
When John Robie (Cary Grant) visits the hotel suite where Frances and her mother Jessie live, some beauty products can be seen on different dressing tables.
In the picture above, for example, there are a Revlon nail polish (see the elongated cap) and two fragrances by Lucien Lelong – Gardenia and Balalaika.
On another dressing table two versions of Lucien Lelong Balalaika: the spiral bottle contained the eau de parfum, while the squared one contained the eau de cologne.
Behind the spiral bottle of Balalaika there’s another Lelong fragrance – Sirocco.
From a different angle we can see there’s another object on the same table: a coffret containing Revlon nail polishes.
Thanks to Bluebelle in the comments for the Sirocco id.
