Dita Von Teese wants her own make-up line.
The burlesque dancer - who was a spokesperson for the MAC AIDS Fund in 2006 and 2007 - says she is keen to have own cosmetics range because she feels not every woman is catered for.
She said: "I want to do my own make-up line, because I feel like things are missing in the world. I'm constantly trying to mix up colours. Also, I mix my own body make-up. I love the idea of beautiful packaging for cosmetics. I use a lot of vintage powder compacts, and I buy vintage lipstick tubes and transfer lip colours into them. I put my MAC lipstick into my vintage Helena Rubinstein tubes.
"I love the look of matte, velvety lips. Every girl should have a matte red and a matte fuchsia. And that's so hard to find these days."
As well as wanting her own make-up line, Dita - who is famed for her vintage-inspired wardrobe and glamorous look - is keen to release her own fragrance because she hates smelling like anyone else.
She told WWD: "I really want to do is make my own fragrance. I don't want to smell like anyone else.
"I have to talk to the smaller companies, because the bigger ones, like Coty, are like 'Well, not everyone knows your name, like the Kardashians or Victoria Beckham.' "
