Ririko (Erika Sawajiri) is almost hitting rock bottom of her stellar career. The multiple cosmetic surgeries she’s had have disfigured her and there’s nothing she can do to turn back time. Her make-up artist is able to cover the bruises and spots on her skin but it’s a temporary solution.
Among the many beauty products on her dressing table, there’s the beautiful opaline pump bottle of Yves Saint Laurent Paris body lotion.
When the camera moves, a Chanel compact is visible, too.
In 1997 Jennifer Lopez scored the acting role of a lifetime starring as the Tejano Queen Selena Quintanilla in the biopic Selena by Gregory Nava.
In this behind-the-scene shot, she was retouching her lipstick using the mirror of a classic Chanel glossy compact.
Clara (Angela Molina) is finally leaving her abusive husband Sancho, so she’s quickly packing some toiletries. In her bathroom there are many beauty products.
On the glass shelf there are two Shiseido Benefiance products – a toner and a cleansing milk.
There’s also L’Oreal Elnett Satin hairspray, which has an important function in this scene.
In classic Almodóvar style, Chanel products make their appearance. In this case, there are a compact and a bottle of bi-phase make-up remover (or toner). There’s also a black box with gold band I haven’t been able to identify. It may be related to No. 5, but I have no idea what it can be.
Under the glass shelf there’s a cardboard bottle of Ausonia talc.
Next to the Chanel make-up remover there’s Guerlain Champs Elysées in a beautiful gold bottle designed by Robert Granai. The perfume, created by Jacques and Jean-Paul Guerlain, was launched in 1996.
But Champs Elysées is not the only Guerlain item in Clara’s bathroom. On the top glass shelf there’s a round gold box containing Météorites face powder pearls.
Norma Boss (Cecilia Roth) uses Chanel make-up: in the screencap above, a Rouge Coco lipstick in a pale coral shade.
She uses a Chanel compact (a blush or a powder) to check her make-up.
Victoria (Barbara Garrick) checks her make-up in the mirror of a Chanel compact.
Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) checks her make-up in a Chanel compact.
Uncle Daddy (Dean Norris) and Juanda (Dale Dickey) are getting ready to attend Roller’s funeral. She puts on some Chanel bronzer (or blush) on him.
Betty (Carme Elias) is about to put her make-up on when her friend Leo (Marisa Paredes) pays her a visit. She takes two Chanel compacts out of her make-up pouch. One is a pressed face powder, the other is a blush.
The striptease virtuoso Catherine D’Lish posted this picture on her Instagram account: she was sitting at her dressing table before a show, putting on her make-up and listening to music on her iPod.
On her table you can see L’Oreal products (Perfect Match and True Match liquid foundations, True Match Minerals mineral foundation) and MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural face powder.
I’ve also spotted MAC Pro Longwear lipcolour (probably in Lasting Lust), a Chanel black shiny compact and MAC 190SE foundation brush from the Heirlooms holiday collection released in 2007.
