Female Perversions (1996)
After going through a dark red lipstick phase, Eve (Tilda Swinton) opts for a neutral shade.
She uses the mirror of a 1940s fan-shaped Elgin black lacquered powder compact to apply her lipstick. The compact is decorated with gold flowers inlaid in the top.
The lipstick she uses is by MAC (old packaging).
Female Perversions (1996)
Eve (Tilda Swinton) goes shopping for make-up at a NARS counter.
In the glass cabinet several bottles of liquid foundation and eye-shadow compacts can be seen.
In the screencap above the proportions are a bit tricky, so I can’t decide if the compacts contain single or duo eye-shadows. I remember single eye-shadows in the old rubberised packaging were really tiny, while the duo eye-shadow compact had the same size as the blush compacts. Probably these are duos.
Eve is fascinated by the lipstick worn by the sales assistant and she asks to try it on.
This film was released in 1996, two years after François Nars launched his lipstick in 12 shades at the beauty counter of Barneys New York. The darkest of these shades were Scarlet Empress and Shanghai Express, so it’s reasonable to assume the exact shade featured in the film is one of the two.
My knowledge as a former NARS-issist, though, makes me think of yet another dark shade of red – Fire Down Below. I haven’t found any information about the year in which it was first launched. If it happened between 1994 and 1996, this could be another option for the lipstick seen in the film.

The Souvenir Part II (2021)
When Rosalind (Tilda Swinton) visits her daughter Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne) in London, she sprays the “heavenly scent” the girl keeps in her bathroom.
The “absolutely glorious” perfume in question is a British classic – Penhaligon’s Bluebell, a green/earthy fragrance with a distinctive note of hyacinth created by Michael Pickthall and launched in 1978.
La voz humana (2020)
The Woman (Tilda Swinton) is applying mascara in front of a round mirror. The bathroom she’s in is tiled in different colours and is full of beauty products and toiletries.
Starting from the left red-tiled niche, I’ve identified:
Rochas Eau de Rochas bath and shower gel
Chanel La Crème Main hand cream
Perlier Honey Miel bath and shower cream and Thai Coco body lotion
Chanel Paris-Biarritz shower gel
Moving right, there’s the blue-tiled niche, where there are two hair products:
John Frieda Luxurious Volume Touchably Full conditioner
L’Oreal Extraordinary Oil oil-in-milk leave-in hair cream
Now there’s the washbasin counter, packed with bottles of medicines.
On the far left there’s a tube of Natura Bissé The Cure all-in-one cleanser.
There are two different bottles of elixirs by My Yébenes. The first on the left is Repair, while the second one (a bit further moving towards the right) is Resistance.
There’s also a jar of Natura Bissé C+C Vitamin face cream.
The first perfume bottle I’ve spotted is Hermès Eau de Citron Noir cologne.
Then there’s obviously the Chanel No. 5 factice.
There’s also a bottle of Chanel Les Beiges foundation among the medicine bottles.
Next, two products by Natura Bissé from the C+C Vitamin line – sun protection at the top left corner of the washbasin and micellar cleansing water next to the tap.
Moving back to the first screencap, all the right part of the counter is for Chanel make-up items. So we can see
Joues Contraste powder blush
Rouge Allure red lipstick
A cream blush
Poudre Universelle Libre loose powder
Les 4 Ombres eyeshadow palette in Tissé Camélia
