Dita Von Teese for ARTDECO



Dita Von Teese is launching her first, exclusive make up collection with ARTDECO, creating her dream products. Introducing the "Dita Von Teese Classics". A combination of glamour and art. Now everyone can channel their inner Dita!

Available from June at all European ARTDECO stockists. At this time there is no plan to launch the range into Australia so you will need to get a friend from overseas to purchase your favourite products.

I'm especially looking forward to the beautiful red, matt lipstick for winter. Love the gorgeous retro cameo packaging too!





 Premiere Dita Von Teese Art Couture Collection press conference





      


For the perfect, glamorous red lip, follow the lip contour and fill in the lip with WP Lip Liner in Vermilllion #06, Dame #10 or Fatal #15 to help anchor your lipstick for maximum durability.

Art Couture Velvet Lipstick comes in various shades including colours such as Muse Red #615, Parlez-Vous #620 & Maitresse #628. There is also a vibrant orange hue named Bon Bon #607  & 2  intense pinks shades in Follies Pink #637 and Demoiselle #645. 

Dita says she's found the perfect lipstick. A long lasting,  matt yet silky lipstick containing beeswax, candelilla wax, and carnauba wax  to nourish the lips.

Finish with Lip Lacquer Chinois #28 to add shine and volume over the top of the matt lip colours. This lip lacquer comes with a new, shorter brush made of real hair.

Dita's signature manicure is the reverse half moon which can be achieved using Nail Lacquer in  Moonlight #180 in pearl white and Dragon Lady Red #10, Demoiselle Pink #19 or Femme Fatal #25. 





Achieve a smokier eye with matt eye shadows Veuve Noir #503 & Von Fleece #512. 
For a softer, classic look use Brunesque #520, Sepia  #530, Mink #524, and Petticoat #554.
 Wisp #370, Spotlight #371, Gilded Lily #374 & Plush #375 add a soft wash of colour.

Glamour eyeshadows Night Porter # 300 & Opulence #369 contain shimmery pigments to reflect the light for a more glamourous finish.



Achieve Dita's famous flawless, porcelain complexion with Compact Powder Face Fatal #1, a  fine compact powder that creates a transparent, matt finish. Oil-absorbing ingredients eliminate shiny skin, while light-reflecting pigments create a smooth, velvety finish. 

Beautiful blushers in shades of subtle rose Starlet #31,  apricot hue Ingenue #09 & deeper rose hues Ivresse #20 & Paramour #22. 






Dita's signature flicked eyeliner can easily be created with the gel eyeliner Nocturnelle #1. 
Gel-based,WP and long-lasting with a quick-drying formula. Free of mineral oil, paraffin and parabens.
Apply with the Art Couture fine tipped eyeliner brush which allows for a precise and defined application.

Art Couture Lash Volumizer in Raven #01 is absolutely jet black and creates volume, extension, and separation of the lashes. 
Natural waxes  nourish and cares for the lashes. It is also fragrance free making ideal for even the most sensitive eyes.

Complete the look and create amazing, fuller lashes with the false lashes. These premium qulaity lashes are made of real hand-tufted hair. Love the #39's which includes black rhinestones!
