Dita Von Teese used to practice her beauty routine.

The burlesque dancer is famed for her glamorous look but admits it's taken years to get it right and find a look that suited her.

She said of her routine: ''It depends on my time clock how long I need to get ready. Whether I have two minutes, or I have five minutes or if I have an hour. For example a quick day to day routine for five minutes would be mascara, powder and red lipstick and hair in a chignon.

''Once a woman has established what her look is and her routine is - you can practice and then get very quick. I've been practicing for such a long time.''

However, Dita - who recently launched her own perfume - says she still needs a mirror when getting ready because her look is so precise.

She told Grazia Daily: ''No mirror? I definitely need a mirror but mine is very precise style. steady hand I've been painting that eyeliner for 22 years. You certainly can't do a cat eye with no mirror. And you can't do it on the go either - it is too precise!''
