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

According to WWD, the former Mrs. Marilyn Manson is engaging in a new career venture! In regards to Dita Von Teese…

…The burlesque dancer said she’s working on a new show, described as a funny take on “Swan Lake,” and a book called “How to Create Nostalgic Beauty.” “I’m going to tell people it’s OK to wear green eye shadow.”

Guess who’ll definitely get her hands on an advanced copy of that book?
