Dita Von Teese insists her “natural look” takes “a lot” of make-up.
The burlesque beauty is famed for her ever-glamorous vintage aesthetic.
Dita likes to dress down for Halloween, and has worn a blonde wig, fake tan and jeans in the past. The stunning star loves fading into the background at times and says her make-up artist is her secret weapon when it comes to transforming.
“I’ve [dressed up] a few times and no one ever recognises me,” she revealed in an interview with the British edition of OK! magazine.”A few years ago, I was at this club in my jeans, tan, blonde hair and beige nails and this couple were dressed as me and my ex-husband. It was so funny. I met them and they had no idea it was me!
“My friend Gregory does my make-up every year. He loves doing the transformation with all the shading – it’s a lot of make-up to get that natural look, I have to say!”
Dita has a very distinct style. The raven-haired beauty also likes a man to dress a particular way.
“I don’t like guys to wear too much jewellery or wear weird clothes,” she explained.
“I like really classic, well-dressed masculine style. I don’t like anything rock ‘n’ roll or crazy.”
When broaching the subject of ex-husband Marilyn Manson – who is famed for his eccentrically gothic style – Dita dismissed such preference.
“That was a different story!” she quipped. “I like guys who dress like guys.”

Burlesque superstar Dita Von Teese and Cointreau have teamed up to create the “My Cointreau Travel Essentials”—an on-the-go bar that fits perfectly into an elegant, yet retro-style hat box. For a libation enthusiast such as myself, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to sit down with Von Teese at the Royalton Hotel in New York City and find out more.
“When I travel, I like to be surrounded by beautiful things,” Dita Von Teese says coyly about what inspired her to design the bar kit. How can you argue with that? In addition to a beautiful design, she also wanted it to be fully functional and serve a purpose. So, when you drink through all the Cointreau, you are still left with a coffret that is perfect for your travel needs. The relationship between Dita and Cointreau seems to be a perfect fit, a vintage inspired beauty who is famous for her burlesque performance that includes bathing in a cocktail glass and one of the world’s most famous spirits that is synonymous with elegance and taste. And with Cointreau’s slogan “Cointreauversial,” it seems like a match made in heaven. So what does Dita keep in her personal “My Cointreau Travel Essentials” bar? All the ingredients to make a classic margarita of course.
Aside from her Travel Essentials bar there a few other items that Von Teese can’t travel without. “It takes a lot for her to be her,” she says playfully. Of the many essentials she keeps by her side on the road, she always has her tech items: iPad and camera. It’s an easy way for her to keep in touch while traveling and to interact with her fans through Twitter.

When asked about some of her favorite collaborations, she tells us she she is very proud of her MAC Viva Glam campaign. It is a message that she stands strongly behind, and an important one for young women to hear, that they can elegantly protect themselves against HIV/AIDS and educate themselves. The MAC Viva Glam campaign has raised $200 million since it started. Paying tribute to the diva herself, Dita says she’s inspired by RuPaul and the work and effort he has put into the campaign. She doesn’t want to be just a face on a brand for the sake of exposure, she truly gets behind every project she is a part of. She still continues her fight against HIV/AIDS through different outlets such as the Lifeball in Vienna.
Of course, once RuPaul was brought up we had to ask if she would return as a guest judge in season 4. She couldn’t say, but she does hope to make an appearance. So, if the drag gods are listening, make this happen. Though, judge or not, it’s one of her favorite shows, and one of the few that she doesn’t miss when it’s on. As a woman that embodies glamour and never seems to have a hair out of place she let us in on a few secrets to stay glamorous on the go. Invest in a really great coat and sunglasses and always wear shoes that you can walk in through the airport and, of course, red lipstick. She says it’s all an “illusion”; if that’s an illusion then David Blaine can pack it up.

Va va voom! Burlesque beauty Dita Von Teese breezed into town Thursday night to make an appearance at the Mondrian Hotel. The always impeccably dressed beauty was doing her part as Cointreau International Ambassador, introducing South Beach jetsetters to “My Cointreau Travel Essentials,” a retro-style coffret containing a minibar with all the right cocktail accessories, including a jigger, hot pink shaker and atomizer.
Dita also kicked off a travel package with her name all over it. Guests staying at the Mondrian or other Morgans Hotel properties through Dec. 30 can get the luxe box in their rooms as well as “Drinks by Dita” suggestions.
We talked Von Teese, 39, who was born Heather Sweet in Rochester, Mich.
You are the expert on cocktails. What’s your favorite right now?
I’m loving margaritas. I never realized how easy they are to mix. There’s a misconception, but they only have three ingredients: lime juice, Cointreau and tequila. I mix them at home; they’re absolutely perfect and fresh.
Is this the drink you’ll be pulling together on Thanksgiving?
I already know that I’m going for a classic sidecar. It has the warmth of cognac, and I like that in the winter time. I live in L.A. but it can get chilly, in the 40s. I’m learning how to make the perfect one.
What are your plans for the big day?
I love entertaining. This year I’m bringing my family out from Boise, Idaho, to see me. My mother will help me, which is nice. A lot of years I had to do the cooking on my own. We’ll do turkey; I love the leftovers! I might do a healthier option for stuffing this year. I’ll see if I can make it with a wonderful quinoa and brown rice.
What other things do you have going on?
My [signature] scent is out in Germany, but is on its way to global access. It’s really elegant and sophisticated, sort of day to night. My motto is more femme totale than f emme fatale. I’m putting the finishing touches on my lingerie line and have a small dress line, a capsule collection. It accommodates voluptuous women, too.
Which celebrities do you think have great style?
So many celebrities have stylists and I don’t use one, so I admire people like Diane Kruger. She’s one of those girls who always looks great but doesn’t have a huge glam squad. Tilda Swinton always so looks so chic and interesting.
What is your beauty secret these days?
I am always glad to see the red lip is back. Really, it never leaves. It really is also about taking care of your skin.

Dita Von Teese says she has “trained” her body into liking healthy foods.
The burlesque star is famed for showing off her feminine curves in a number of barely-there stage costumes.
Von Teese maintains her enviable figure by choosing the right foods for her body.
“I do a lot of Pilates and I’ve trained my body to enjoy things that are healthy. If you stop eating sugar, your body doesn’t want sugar anymore. I haven’t had a soda in 15 years!” she told the UK edition of OK! magazine.
“I drink green smoothies with spinach, kale, and dark leafy greens mixed with fruit. Then something salady for lunch and then I can eat what I want at night. Ever since I stopped eating a big breakfast of eggs, toast and cereal, I feel so much better.”
The 39-year-old beauty has admitted to having Botox before, but maintains she doesn’t really need it because of her good genes.
“I tried it a little bit in the middle of my forehead to see what it was like,” she revealed. “I was afraid of having my eyebrows moved because some people get those real Mr Spock eyebrows and I don’t want that!
“I’ve done it maybe twice in the last three years, but for the most part I’ve forgotten I’ve had it done. The last time was about eight months ago. Wrinkles are not one of my problems – my mom is in her sixties and she looks really young.”

Dita Von Teese ‘rarely’ performs her cowgirl routine while touring because the mechanical bull she uses is too expensive to ship.
The model is best known for her striking burlesque routines and is frequently dubbed ‘the Queen of Burlesque’ in the press.
Dita, who sports a unique vintage appearance, usually performs long, elaborate dance shows with props and characters, which are often inspired by 1930s and 1940s musicals and films.
The raven-haired beauty responded to a fan’s question on social networking site Twitter recently, when asked if she performs her ‘cowgirl routine’ on a regular basis.
‘Rarely; It’s a real mechanical bull, VERY $ to ship (sic)!’ she replied.
Dita’s burlesque career has included some memorable and impressive performances including one appearance at a benefit for the New York Academy of Art , where she wore nothing but $5 million worth of diamonds.
