| Dita Von Teese's makeup artist shows you how to master her look for Halloween |
 To win the "sexiest costume" award this Halloween, copy this bombshell makeup look. Here, Gregory Arlt, director of makeup artistry for MAC Cosmetics, shows you step by step how to recreate Dita Von Teese's signature makeup. Finish off the look with a black glam wig and '40s inspired dress. |
History repeats itself in every aspect of our society!
Now, at this time there is not a full resurgence of classic 1940's pinup style, though there are some celebrities who make it a mainstay and keep it current. Such as Kat Von D, Dita Von Teese, Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani.
I like the look and wear it often. My opinion, the best matte red lipstick is Explore by Lorac, though, check out the daily beauty bit and find some other suggestions in formulations that may work for you.
Remember, if you are going to be wearing a bold red shade, you need to exfoliate your lips with your toothbrush or a fine grained scrub first. Do an extra bit of moisturizer from your face around your mouth to help prepare the skin. The better condition of the lip skin, the better your red will wear.
Plus, as a makeup artist tip: use a stain first such as Benefit Cosmetic's Benetint or the store brand from Sephora. The red will always be there even though the slickery lipstick part has worn off.
