Soon after giving birth to her daughter, the photographer Janis gets back to work: her first assignment is a still-life photoshoot. All the lipsticks in the shot above are by Lancôme. Here the prop masters have mixed tubes and caps from different lipsticks; they have made things more complex also by choosing caps from old packagings.
First from the left, L’Absolu Rouge lipstick in French Bisou, a limited-edition shade housed in a vegan leather case.
The second lipstick from the left is L’Absolu Rouge Ruby Cream but the cap belongs to another lipstick – the classic L’Absolu Rouge with an old packaging (the cap doesn’t have the bottom gold band).
The third product from the left is L’Absolu Mademoiselle Shine long-lasting conditioning lipstick in Mademoiselle Stands Out.
The fourth lipstick is a hybrid: the tube belongs to L’Absolu Rouge, while the cap is from an old version of L’Absolu Rouge Intimatte. Even in this case, the cap doesn’t have the bottom gold band that more recent versions of this lipstick have.
Lena (Penélope Cruz) is a broken woman: trapped in an unhappy marriage, she desperately longs for freedom and real love. She lives in a luscious house, she’s always dressed elegantly, she’s surrounded by expensive objects, but all this rarely gives her joy.
Perfumes and beauty products follow her in many scenes, as if they were heavy trappings of a fake identity. The triangle-shaped bottle of Lancôme Trésor body lotion makes its appearance for the third time, so now I guess it’s safe to say that this is her signature scent. It’s an unusual choice, because I would see Lena wearing something more peculiar, with more personality, so I guess this is another way to force her into a role she doesn’t feel comfortable with.
In her bathroom there is also Givenchy Ysatis, a floral chypre fragrance created by Dominique Ropion in 1984.
Last, there’s L’Occitane Eau d’Iparie, an oriental woody fragrance launched in 2005.
The scarlet red lipstick she puts on Juana is another product by Cacharel. The lipsticks of this short-lived line were contained in beautiful matte metal cases, the tops of which were lip-shaped.
The nurse (Lupe Barrado) who’s taking care of Pablo in the hospital retouches her red manicure with a Christian Dior nail polish.
The retro-style 
It’s the marbled lipstick Glissando, launched in 1964 by the American brand Du Barry.
Available in six shades (“from light-struck pinks to muted ambers to rich reds”), it was housed in an elegant silver and gold metal case.
