Archival Footage for "Barcode"

I found this Archive on the Stock Footage Collection
My group is doing our dystopian trailer on a society in which beauty and talent have been completely erased and replaced with complete, unquestioned conformity. At the beginning of the trailer, we wanted to incorporate a  montage of short, fast clips like at the beginning of the trailer for the movie Gattaca. I chose this clip because it includes footage of many different beauty products and a woman dressed up in fancy clothing. I also found a few other clips with similar footage we could use:

(shots of some more beauty products)

(clips of women getting their hair done at a salon

(clips of a bar code; the citizens in our society all wear bar codes in order to be identifiable)

Apart from that sequence at the beginning, however, the rest of our trailer will be clips we shoot ourselves. The beginning sequence will require a lot of different footage though since each bit will only get a maximum of a few seconds on in our timeline.
