For international style icon and ‘burlesque superheroine’ (Vanity Fair) Dita Von Teese, the transformative powers of make-up, hairspray and perfume and even a good bubble bath are instrumental in creating one’s individual glamour. Now in a new lavish book, Your Beauty Mark, Dita and collaborator Rose Apodaca take you through every step of Dita’s glamour arsenal, from sound nutrition and exercise guidance, skincare and scent insight, as well as accessible techniques for creating bombshell haircare and make-up looks.
There is great empowerment in being able to do it yourself, and this inspiring resource shares the skills, history and lessons you need to enhance your individual gifts and realize your own beauty mark, with original illustrations by Adele Mildred, glamour portraits by acclaimed photographers and instructive step-by-steps.
