E! Online: Dita Von Teese’s 3 Rules for Flaunting Retro Makeup
by Alexis L. Loinaz
Burlesque queen Dita Von Teese knows a thing or two about retro beauty: The milky-skinned siren has conjured an entire persona by drawing on a vintage vibe that melds the sensuality of a Varga girl with the kittenish playfulness of Bettie Page.
We recently chatted with the sultry star at the launch of her new lingerie line and she shared her tips and tricks on how to pull off retro makeup with can-do flair—and nope, you don’t need your own supersize martini-glass bathtub to turn heads while doing it.
1. Rock a Red Lip: “I think red lipstick looks good on every woman,” Dita says about this retro-glam must-have. “She just has to find the right red lipstick. I’m a big fan of a matte red lip because it’s easier to wear, and it’s always classic and always elegant.”
2. Go for a Matte Skin: “I love like clear, beautiful, matte skin,” she shares. “It’s always an essential of retro-style makeup, I think. I like a powdered matte finish.”
3. Find Your Old-School Pop-Culture Inspiration: Not everything comes down to makeup and accessories: Dita says that a big part of her retro beauty secret is finding the right old-school inspiration to get her in the right mood. “I like to watch a lot of old movies. That always does it for me,” she says. “I always feel inspired by movies with beautiful, glamorous costumes. And I love musicals. I always go for those 1940s-era Technicolor films with big musical numbers.”

Beauty Blitz: Dita Von Teese Shares Her Red Lip Tricks, the Real Reason Behind Her Fragrance
By Klaudia Kaczmarek
Want to smell and look like the Queen of Burlesque? I mean, no one can look as stunning as Dita Von Teese. The woman is strikingly beautiful and poised. But her sophisticated fragrances and 1940s-inspired lingerie can make any woman feel like a pin-up girl. This April, the burlesque dancer, model, and actress will debut select pieces from her Von Follies lingerie collection (tons of lace, mesh and velvet ribbons) and her two fragrances, Dita Von Teese and Rouge, on HSN. It’s her largest mass retail partnership yet! I got to sit down with the Dita to talk about her fragrances (you won’t believe the inspiration behind them) and how she gets that drop-dead-gorgeous red lip.
Klaudia Kaczmarek: What was the inspiration behind your fragrance?
Dita Von Teese: Well I was living in Paris and had a new boyfriend. Two weeks into the relationship he confessed to me that I wore the same perfume that his mother wore. So, of course, I had to change my perfume. Around the same time I was approached to make my own, so it was the perfect opportunity to create my own signature scent that is completely unique. I wanted something very womanly, glamorous, and sophisticated. There are no elements of gourmand, lemons, fruit, candy or any girlish things in my perfumes. They are very sophisticated and stylish.
KK: What was the fragrance your boyfriend spoke of?
DVT: It was a fragrance called Quelques Fleurs. It’s a very old French fragrance. It is also a very expensive perfume so I had the challenge of creating an attainable signature scent that has that luxurious expensive scent to it.
KK: Tell me about your fascination with red lipstick.
DVT: I was about 14 years old when I suddenly discovered what lipstick can do for the face – how a vibrant color can change the way you feel. I’ve just had a love affair with lipstick ever since. I love bright colors on the lips. I love matte bright orange, fuchsia, burgundy, dark fuchsia – all different shades of red. It’s more than just red for me. It’s that splash of color that makes a difference in my day-to-day life. It’s an easy way to get glamorous quickly.
KK: What’s the trick to getting your perfect red lip?
DVT: I always line with lip liner first. I really like a deep lip liner. I choose something darker than my lip color at times because I like the depth a deep, magenta-tone red can do to any color of red lipstick. So I always line and fill in my entire lip with lip liner. Then I go over it with the lipstick straight from the tube. I also go around the edges at the end with lip liner again – that’s my little trick.
KK: Besides red lipstick, what other beauty product can’t you live without?
DVT: Sunscreen is really important in my life. I’ve managed to reverse sun damage that I had from not understanding how important it is to use sunscreen when I was younger. So I’d say sunscreen is very important to me. Face powder, also, because I love the way red lipstick looks on matte skin.
KK: What inspired your signature half moon manicure? I know your mom was a manicurist; did she play a role in that?
DVT: I started doing the half moon manicure around 1990 because I was looking at all these vintage photographs from the 1940s. And if you look really closely, some of the women left the moons bare. So that’s when I first started having my mother replicate that retro style manicure. I’ve been wearing it for 20 years.
KK: What other tricks have you learned from being in front of the camera and on stage?
DVT: I always try to analyze how I look later. I do my own makeup for the red carpet so I’m always analyzing what works and what doesn’t. Lighting changes everything so I learn as much as I can about lighting and how stage lighting affects colors. In general, I just don’t think it’s a bad idea to analyze the work in photos later just to see what kind of makeup to wear for any kind of snapshot photos; to see how it looks under a different light.

Style Bistro: Dita Von Teese Talks Perfume and Lingerie, Gives Us a Sneak Peek at Her HSN Line
By Caitlin Petreycik
Burlesque star Dita Von Teese is no stranger to designing lingerie — her retro-glam underpinnings for Von Follies are already available in Europe and Australia — but, for the first time ever, her pin-up-worthy creations will reach a much wider audience, thanks to HSN.
On April 23rd, the at-home shopping giant will roll out new pieces under Von Teese’s Von Follies label (think satiny bras with lace overlays, and 1950′s-inspired high-waisted briefs, priced from $25 to $45), and a namesake fragrance ($20 to $75), which — and we almost never say this about celebrity scents — actually smells sexy. In a very “I wear blood red lipstick the way other women wear chapstick,” kind of way. Which Dita Von Teese does.
She also has perfect posture, and works fist-sized brooches like it’s NBD, as we learned when we caught up with her at The Lion in New York City. But even someone as put-together as Von Teese has the occasional fashion slip-up. Like, for instance, when her boyfriend had to gently tell her that her new favorite perfume — the one that she paid $300 a bottle for — was the same one his mother wore. And that’s how the aforementioned sexy scent was born.
Check out more of our lingerie and perfume chat, below:
StyleBistro: Tell us a little bit about the inspiration behind your Von Follies line for HSN.
Dita Von Teese: HSN has chosen pieces from the Von Follies collection that they think would be good for their customer. What they’ve chosen here too are sizes that go up to a G cup. It’s important to me to appeal to a diverse size and shape of woman. My goal was to bring beauty and glamour and fit and function all together in one lingerie line.
StyleBistro: Your lingerie is so pretty that you almost don’t want to hide it. Are you a fan of letting it peek out?
Dita Von Teese: I did design a dress in my dress collection, which is at Decades. I did do one particular dress that was meant to showcase lingerie. It’s called the ‘Showcase Dress.’ I love when a little bit of lace peeks out.
StyleBistro: And you designed a fragrance, too! What was that process like?
Dita Von Teese: My first scent, which was just my namesake, Dita Von Teese, was created to replace my signature scent when I found out that my boyfriend’s mother wore the same perfume. I was living in Paris, and at the same time was approached to create my own perfume, which was perfect. So I really spent a lot of time working on it.
StyleBistro: So it’s not your typical celebrity scent then.
Dita Von Teese: Usually when you create a celebrity perfume, you go in and the perfumer will say “Well here is what did well in the focus group. Just choose one of these and you’ll do well.” But I was really insistent on creating my own from scratch, and I did just that. I spent a year and a half making it, and it’s a voluptuous, sophisticated floral. There are notes of peony, sparkling bourbon pepper, Bulgarian rose, jasmine, smoky wood, and a touch of patchouli. It’s a very grown-up, glamorous, refined, sophisticated scent. I didn’t want anything that was a gourmand, or too vanilla.
StyleBistro: You’re so busy and you’re involved in so many different shows and projects. How are you not tired? Can you walk us through a typical day?
Dita Von Teese: I wake up pretty early. I usually go do pilates first thing. And then I’ll come home and I make this green smoothie that I drink every day for breakfast. I’ll have tea and answer my email. Maybe I’ll have lunch with a friend if I’m not working. I have a library full of vintage books, so sometimes I’ll just get lost in there and pull pictures that I’m inspired to create lingerie with, or perfume bottles.
