If you have a Vintage Life magazine subscription then we’re sure that you love to indulge in all things vintage. The most popular era at the moment seems to be the 1940s/1950s, and flying the flag for those decades is Dita Von Teese, who always looks immaculately groomed.
If you want to get Dita’s look just follow her tips below:
1. 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.
2. Classic red lipstick is the most chic beauty statement a women can make. Matte lips are like luscious rose petals. Add just a touch of gloss to the centre.
3. In the Thirties and Forties, leaving the half-moon at the bottom of your nail was the epitome of elegance. It has now become modern and chic again.
4. 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.
5. I always powder my nose using pressed powder in an exquisite, jewelled compact. They are hard to find, but Estee Lauder does wonderful ones at Christmas.
Dita has just launched her own collection of vintage make-up, so if you’re a big fan you can buy it now!
