There is great empowerment in
being able to do it yourself, encourages Dita. She is proof. From worldwide
stages to fashion runways, magazine covers to online videos, Dita has pulled off
more strokes of red lipstick, bursts of hair spray, boxes of blue-black hair dye
and pats of powder in a month than a drag queen could dream of in a lifetime.
Whether she’s dazzling audiences while swirling in a towering martini glass in
Swarovski-covered pasties, or sparking camera flashes on the red carpet, one
reality is constant: for this self-styled star, beauty is an art. It’s what
keeps her on international best-dressed lists and on high-profile fashion show
rosters, and it is lavishly demonstrated in this 400-page illustration and
photography-filled coffee table book.
In Your Beauty Mark: The
Ultimate Guide to Eccentric Glamour (Dey Street Books; December 1, 2015;
$45.00), 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
hairstyles and makeup looks. There is the authoritative advice of her
confidantes—masters in makeup, hair, medicine, and exercise, as well as some of
the world’s most eccentric beauties. 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 and instructive
step-by-steps, along with hundreds of glamour portraits by more than 80
acclaimed photographers, such as Ellen Von Unwerth, Peter Lindbergh, Ruven
Afanador, Paola Kudacki, Ali Mahdavi and Albert Sanchez.
As Dita says, “This book is for
those who enjoy breaking the beauty rules and changing them, and I hope it
inspires them to not be ashamed to say they like something the way they like
it.” Look beyond the mainstream perceptions of beauty, she urges, and celebrate
eccentricity and individuality. That is making your beauty
mark.
