'I volunteer as tribute for Covergirl!'

In October just in time for Hunger Games: Catching Fire, CoverGirl is launching a new makeup line.

This reminds me of that 'what are they thinking?' time when Hilary Swank was trying to sell a fragrance or as i09 memorably puts it...

Want to feel like you're part of a decadent crumbling society that oppresses the working classes and forces children to kill each other for your amusement?

Hee.

But, bizarre morals aside (and, really, when have the fashion or beauty industry been interested in morality?) this got me to thinking about other films which really deserve their own cosmetic lines. I hereby submit to you three ideas.

Can we please Kickstart a Whorey Look line anything? I would gladly give my $$$ for such an obviously worthy startup.

P.S. Hilary Swank has a *smokin'* body but modeling is not in her wheelhouse. You pretty much have to be of the Kidman-Chanel, Johansson-Calvin Klein, Theron-Dior school of fabulosity to pull that off.

Whory Look would sell on HSN- want to please your man then whory it up!

Mareko. - agreed on her bod. But yeah modeling is a specific gift and who wants to SMELL like Insolence?

August 16, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterNathaniel R

@Jaragon - I was just at HSN *this week*, and it would do bang-up business if Gina Gershon shows out to stump.

August 16, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterMareko

@Nathaniel - ha! Yeah, isn't insolence a *bad* thing? (Not that many even know what that word means, or have even heard about it for that matter.)

Your choices at the Cornucopia: tweezers, mirror, Mac samples, mousse, SmartWater, gun, DVD of Nigel.

Definitely something from Velvet Goldmine for all the bicurious androgynous rock girls and guys and the people who lust for them out there.

Induce Fine Lines and Wrinkles with the "J. Edgar" line of L'Oreal for Men!

I'd pay good money, like OPI money, for the Jungle Red nail polish right outta The Women for those days when I need to claw down my own circling Joan Crawfords.

I would pay for a product that removed Hilary Swank smell from trouble spots.

I hate wearing makeup, but I would put down some serious cash for a Velvet Goldmine collection, CMG.

OMFG that Hilary Swank commercial was HILARIOUSLY awful! I laughed so hard my roommates thought I'd lost my mind. It seriously seems like a parody of what a celeb-endorsed ad would be. Nathaniel, anytime anyone gets up in your grill about your issues with The Swank, you only need to show them that clip and you'll win the argument. She looks RIDICULOUS.

Not a movie, but...Renuyu. "Warning: Side effect of one year of extended usage or an extreme overdose is turning into a monster made of clay."
