Let Dita Von Teese inspire you for your Christmas party make-up

It’s Christmas soon and whether you want to look gorgeous for the office party or for cocktails with the girls, Natalie Dale has an easy step-by-step guide on how to replicate Dita Von Teese’s vintage look.

The key to perfecting Dita’s look is to start off with a fantastic foundation. Always match to your skin tone and don’t forget to blend in the edges. To achieve Dita’s berry-stained cheeks you need some blusher. I think you can’t go wrong with Benetint by Benefit. Apply to the apple of your cheeks and blend in for a rosy glow.

For sexy feline eyes like Dita’s start with a prep product such as Laura Mercier’s Eye Basics in Linen, which you apply all over the eyelid. This is like a foundation for the eye and will help the durability of your eye make-up. Next up is eyeliner in black. Dip a thin eyeliner brush into the pot and then carefully draw a line close to the eyelash line and flick up as you come to the end of the eye.

For la pièce de résistance you need some fake eye lashes such as Eylure Naturalite strip lashes to create a wide-eyed stunning look. Once the eyeliner has dried, apply the fake lashes and then follow with a coat of mascara in deep black to blend fake eyelashes with real.
