With all the buzz going on about the Burlesque movie, how can I not blog about Dita Von Teese, the real Queen of Burlesque? Below are some of Dita’s beauty must-haves and beauty tricks I gathered from her Twitter account. Enjoy!

Face
For her creamy pale complexion, Dita swears by L’oreal True Match in N1 (which is also Cher’s favorite), Dior Capture Totale Foundation in Light Beige, MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light and Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder for under the eyes. Her best skincare advice? “See a dermatologist for problem skin rather than spend money on miracle creams!”

Eyes
To create her favorite ’50s eye, Dita’s go-to products are MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack (applied with a fine brush) and Guerlain Liquid Eyeliner. She also loves MAC Liquidlast Liners when her eyes get watery and for shows she does with water. Her trick to make liquid eyeliner dry faster? “Using a cute Chinese hand fan!”

Lips
When it comes to lipsticks, reds and pinks are handsdown Dita’s favorites. She also loves a fancy tube and rich texture. Here are some of her favorites:

* MAC Lipstick in Ruby Woo
* MAC Lipstick in Lady Danger
* MAC Lipstick in Russian Red
* NARS Lipgloss in Daredevil
* Tom Ford Smoke Red
* Tom Ford Cherry Crush
* Tom Ford True Coral
* Guerlain KissKiss Lipstick in Exces De Rouge 523
* Dior Diorific in Rouge Bingo
* Face Stockholm Matte Lipstick in Claret
* MAC Lipliner in Beet

Hair
Hair-wise, Dita fluctuates between ’30s, ’40s and ’50s styles. She colors her naturally blonde hair with Garnier 100% Color Intense in Blue Black and uses hot rollers in small and medium sizes along with iron and clips to style it.

Nails
Again, red is Dita’s favorite when it comes to the nails. She loves a ’40s nail and prefers acrylics in pointed shape. “Square is out unless your nails are short” says Dita. Her must-have nail polishes are MAC Rougemarie, Essie Fishnet Stockings and Leighton Denny Passion.

Dita Von Teese Designs Eye Mask For Moschino

Burlesque beauty Dita Von Teese has teamed up with Moschino to design a super cute eyemask. The limited edition pink silk-satin eyemask is embellished with rhinestones that spell out “Dita for Moschino”, trompe l’oeil eyelashes and lace. It also comes with its very own matching case.

“I travel a lot, so having an eyemask is vital, and as always, I believe that you can add glamour to any useful item! This one is going to be a collector’s item for sure! I love mine!”, says Dita.

The eyemask is now available at www.moschinoboutique.com for $130 and if you need a “legit” reason to justify the hefty price tag, 30% of the proceeds will go fAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research. Do it for a good cause!

Glamour Girls Must-haves

* False eyelashes. Long, lush lashes are the key to the come-hither sex kitten look. Try Ardell and MAC for different lengths and styles.

* Red lipstick and liner. Even Dita herself stressed the importance of this in her book.

* Flawless matte skin. It does not matter if you are a porcelain princess like Dita or a bronze goddess like Christina, just make sure your skin is polished and matte. Powder your entire face especially the t-zone with a velour puff and keep shimmer to a minimum.

* Black liquid liner winged on the outer corners. Enough said.

* Perfect eyebrows with a high arch. Be it bushy or thin, defined eyebrows are crucial to pull the look together.

* An oh-I’m-sexy attitude.
