Maria Menounos at The 15th Annual Race to Erase MS Red Carpet Extravaganza.

The theme of the red carpet event was Old Hollywood, and with that in mind, celebrity makeup artist Bret Boreman took his inspiration from the icons of the 1960’s and created a modern day ‘Glam Goddess’ look on Maria Menounos. “I took Old Hollywood, and gave it a modern twist,” says Boreman. “I wanted the look to have fresh, dewy skin with a stained red lip. To do this, I colored in the lips using a red pencil, then with my index finger, I pressed the color lightly giving the lips a raspberry red, stained appearance. For the skin, I combined a moisturizer with the Stila All Over Shimmering Illuminizer, massaging it into the skin, followed by foundation. This three-product combination; moisturizer, illuminizer and foundation conceals, protects and makes the skin shimmer for a modern take on a classic look.”

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

I haven’t seen much of this look on the runways, but I’m loving it. It’s a toned-down alternative to the ultra glam, über vampish Old Hollywood scarlet red lips. Want the look?
