Whether she's dazzling audiences while swirling in a towering martini glass in Swarovski-crystal-covered pasties and stilettos or sparking camera flashes on the red carpet, one reality is constant: for this self-styled star, beauty is an art.

In Your Beauty Mark: The Ultimate Guide to Eccentric Glamour, Dita and collaborator Rose Apodaca take you through every step of Dita's glamour arsenal, and includes her confidantes--masters in makeup, hair, medicine, and exercise, as well as some of the world's most eccentric beauties--for authoritative advice. Packed with sound nutrition and exercise guidance, skin care and scent insight, as well as accessible techniques for creating bombshell hairstyles and makeup looks and more, this inspiring resource shares the skills, history, and lessons you need to enhance your individual gifts and realize your own beauty mark.

Library Journal Review

Von Teese's (Burlesque and the Art of the Teese) third book combines stunning imagery with an abundance of information about vintage or "old Hollywood" glamour, the author's life, and the lives of other "eccentrics." Readers follow Von Teese from Midwestern blond to raven-haired, international entertainer, designer, entrepreneur, and icon. We see her with a bare face and then fully made up, as she shares her personal health and beauty disciplines, including time-tested, universal advice: exercise regularly; eat a healthy, balanced diet; get enough sleep. There's a sincerity to Von Teese's artifice that makes the book both enchanting and relatable; behind the exquisitely styled photographs is a woman who does her own hair and makeup. Throughout, readers are encouraged to make informed decisions that lead them to their most beautiful selves, inside and out. VERDICT Not all readers will want to adopt Von Teese's signature aesthetic, but her inspiring confidence translates to every style.-Meagan Storey, Virginia Beach © Copyright 2016.
