The top five Dita Von Teese beauty tips and tricks from the burlesque dancer herself following the launch of her new make-up range with ArtDeco.
Dita Von Teese has launched a makeup range with ArtDeco that’s available from Debenhams. The Dita’s Classics range includes luscious lipsticks, false eyelashes, gel eyeliner, eyeshadows and nail lacquers.
She said, “The truth is that I‘m quite an ordinary looking girl. When I was a little girl, I remember watching classic Hollywood films from the 40s and noticing that these glorious women were painted that way.
“Glamour is about creation and any woman who desires it can learn to create it for herself as I have. I believe that makeup has the power to transform an ordinary woman into an extraordinary one.”
To help promote the new Dita Von Teese beauty line she has revealed her top make-up tips to the The Daily Mail. Luckily, we’ve read it so you don’t have to. Here’s the top five Dita Von Teese beauty tips.
“Alabaster skin is the perfect base for a vintage look. I’d never dream of getting a tan — I always wear sunscreen and put on a hat when I’m out in the sun.”
“Classic red lipstick is the most chic beauty statement a woman can make. Matte lips are like luscious rose petals. Add just a touch of gloss to the centre.”
“In the 30s and 40s, leaving the half-moon at the bottom of your nail was the epitome of elegance. It has now become modern and chic again.”
“For a dramatic look, I start with a neutral lid, define a line of black shadow in the crease. Finish with a sparkling white on your brow bone and eyelid.”
“I always powder my nose using pressed powder in an exquisite, jewelled compact. They are hard to find but try eBay.”
