Dita Vonteese DIY Makeup

Dita Vonteese
Did you know?
The uber glamorous ‘Queen of Burlesque‘ does her own styling, hair and make-up. From coloring her hair at home herself, to dying her eyebrows; Dita is a firm advocate of DIY when it comes to beauty and style.


What does Dita have to say about having flawless skin.

“Flawless skin is the most important thing, then red lips. Red lips don’t look good on blotchy, uneven skin.” – Says Dita.


Dita's advice on sunscreen is?
It doesn’t matter what moisturizer you use. Just make sure you put it on right after cleansing, while your skin is still damp. That way your pores can absorb it while they are still open. So choose any cream you like for the face and body. By the way Dita tries to avoid being in the sun as much as possible.


Which look is Dita a fan of, matte or glossy?

A fan of the era when women had flawless matte skin, Dita prefers matte over glossy make-up.


“Always, glowing is not my thing. A matte finish diffuses any features about my face that I’m not comfortable with, while shine highlights them.”


How does Dita attain those perfect brows?

Dita’s perfect eyebrows are done in house too! Top tip for always having pretty eyebrows with
or sans make-up is dying them.

“It’s easy with Just For Men hair dye.” – Says Dita.


Her tip for the perfect liner application.

“When I go a while without putting it on, it’s always rough at first. But when I’ve been applying it daily, it’s “whooosh;” it goes on seamlessly. Generally, getting that perfect, flattering line is hard! I look down into a mirror to apply it so I can see the shape and match them up better. Make sure not to pull your eyelid out at the side, because when you let go, the line will be a completely different shape.”


Dita loves her vintage red lipsticks and guess where she keeps them?
Dita’s trademark burlesque red lips are as glamorous as her lipsticks. A true vintage enthusiast, she has a collection of vintage lipstick tubes where she places her favourite shades of red after cooling them in the fridge. Glamour all the way! She got hers on Ebay.
