Dita Von Teese used to practice her beauty routine.
The burlesque dancer is famed for her glamorous look but admits it’s taken years to get it right and find a look that suited her.
She said of her routine: ”It depends on my time clock how long I need to get ready. Whether I have two minutes, or I have five minutes or if I have an hour. For example a quick day to day routine for five minutes would be mascara, powder and red lipstick and hair in a chignon.
”Once a woman has established what her look is and her routine is – you can practice and then get very quick. I’ve been practicing for such a long time.”
However, Dita – who recently launched her own perfume – says she still needs a mirror when getting ready because her look is so precise.
She told Grazia Daily: ”No mirror? I definitely need a mirror but mine is very precise style. steady hand I’ve been painting that eyeliner for 22 years. You certainly can’t do a cat eye with no mirror. And you can’t do it on the go either – it is too precise!”
