Dita Von Teese Makeup

Okay so If any of you are fans of Dita's then you should know her new fall/winter perfume erotique is out (finally!!!) and her makeup is so beautiful and sultry I had to do it for my family thanksgiving. So I am now going to do a writen tutorial based on her look. 

So for starters this is what we are going for: 

Is dark and mysterious. I adore it. Plus it looks good on all eye shapes and colors. 

Face:

For the face start out light to medium coverage foundation all over (for effect even use a shade lighter than your skin tone). Top that with translucent powder all over. From there take a muavey blush color and apply with a blush brush directly under cheekbones. On the top of the cheekbones use a champagne color to highlight; an eyeshadow will do just fine. Fill in brows if needed. 

Eyes:

Now for the fun part! Get a hold of some smokey grey shadow (the one I used is a baked shadow from e.l.f.) and an angled brush. Load up your brush with the shadow and "map out" the shape we are going to create. (Notice the shape Dita is sporting above and examples are below) 

1. Start by lining your lash line and then extending it into a wing like you would winged eyeliner. Then make a line (with the shadow) from under the front portion of your eyebrow down to your tearduct. Then connect the two lines with another line. 

2. Fill in the shape with the same shadow. Carry some onto the bottom lash line too. 

3. Use a champagne/white shadow on the brow bone and blend the lines until desired definition. 

After all that is the easy part: liner. Just take some black sadow and line around the outer 3/4 of the eye (top and bottom lash line). 

Then use a black pencil liner to add depth or a black glitter liner for glamour :)

Then just add your beauty mark and mascara. Done with eyes! 

Lips:

Pick your favorite dark lipstick. My new favorite is by FLOWER Cosmetics called black rose. It's purple/red and perfect for winter. 

Well I sure do hope that was helpful! I had tons of fun. 

Here is the final look: 

This is up on my Instagram also (@vintagekittycatty). 

So long dearies!
