American Horror Story S12E02 (Rockabye)

Anna (Emma Roberts) checks her make-up on a gold Stratton compact.

This is the second vintage sighting in this season, which is unusual because it is set in present day. I wonder if these details are leading somewhere in terms of plot or character development.

Thanks to Hillary, the lovely curator of the one and only Makeup Museum, for the id.

American Horror Story S12E01 (Multiply Thy Pain)

Talia (Juliana Canfield) wears a lipstick in a beautiful red shade.

From the studded gold tube we can see it’s a vintage product.

It’s a Max Factor lipstick from the 1940s.

The brand has been endorsed by a huge number of cinema stars over the years. In the specific case of this lipstick, advertised as “the most wonderful lipstick in the world”, in 1947 it was endorsed by Lana Turner as Ginny Marshland from the film Cass Timberlane (1947) by George Sidney.

Talia gives the lipstick to Anna (Emma Roberts). Later in the episode, the protagonist wears it to attend a vernissage at her husband’s art gallery.

Although the lipstick actually worn by Talia and Anna is most definitely not the Max Factor one, I appreciate the fact that the vintage blue red shade was replicated.
