If I Had to Guess… What Kind of Makeup is Dita Von Teese Wearing?

For fans of gothic glamour, Burlesque performer Dita Von Teese is their physical pinnacle. With a natural 22-inch waist (that is 16.5 inches when laced into a corset!) and a vampy retro style, Dita Von Teese is truly in a beauty league of her own.

Here’s what we know about Dita Von Teese and her makeup mantra:

~ Porcelain skin. It’s almost as if she’s afraid of the sun! There’s never ever (ever, ever, ever, ever) a hint of color on her…
~ …Other than her blood red lips. Never completely matte or completely shiny, Dita Von Teese’s lips are always a perfect hue of satiny candy apple meets cherry meets scarlet.
~ Heavily lined eyelids and spiky lashes. Her eyes always seem to have that sleepy-sexy look, and it’s because she piles the makeup on the upper lid, and leaves everything beneath alone. (Oops – did I just give up her secret?)
~ A hint, just a hint, of blush. You have to look really closely to see it, but a trained eye like mine can spot a faint flush a mile away.

If I had to guess what kind of makeup this pinup uses to get pretty, I’d say:

Dior Skin Forever Compact Flawless & Moist Extreme Wear Makeup SPF25, $42
MAC Stylistics Lipstick in Stylistic, $22 or Viva Glam Lipstick in Viva Glam, $14
Bourjois Liner Clubbing in 81 Absolute Black, $16 and Imju Fiberwig Mascara, $22
Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Glimmer blush in Bikini or Take Me, $13
