American Horror Story S08E06 (Return to Murder House)

americanhorrorstory_s08e06_bornunicorn (2)Constance Langdon (Jessica Lange) is a character from Season 1 whose return in Season 8 has been much awaited and anticipated. She was “born to be a mother”, as shown by her decision to commit suicide in the Murder House, so as to spend eternity with her beloved children (who already live in the house). She gives lots of importance to appearances and to her own look, so it’s not surprising that she re-applies her lipstick before dying.  The shade she’s using is a nude beige, reminiscent of the 1960s/1970s (decades in which she was young and desirable).

Despite living in a prison, she uses a luxury lipstick, which happens to be from the Noir collection by Julie Hewett. Two are the possible shade options.

This is Rouge Noir, a 40s-inspired true movie-star red. Even if the two colours are quite similar, I think Femme Noir is the best guess, since it’s cooler and bluer than Rouge Noir.

There’s an interesting behind-the-scene story about this lipstick. Its shade – Ravish Me Red – is a real colour by Revlon, but the show’s make-up artist Eryn Krueger Mekash explained they actually used a Julie Hewett lipstick on Lily, aptly called Femme Noira gorgeous blue-based 30s scarlet red.
