Backstage Beauty @ Victoria's Secret



Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is one of the most wonderful and anticipated events of the year. We gaze upon these aesthetically fit runway models who are transformed into glorious angels whist wearing their baby pink satin robes and having product tousled in their hair.
Beauty Directory took a look backstage to closely observe make-up artist Dick Page, who told WWD the show was all about channeling each model’s natural look, describing the 47 stunners as “a genetically gifted group of children”.


Face
The beauty routine began with moisturiser, followed by the application of red pigment by German brand Kryolan on the models’ cheeks. Foundation was worked in, only if needed. A natural lip was complemented by a glowing tan.



Eyes
Shiseido shimmering eye creams were used to define the eyes - along with a little eyeliner and lashings of mascara. There were no false lashes this year, according to Page. "I’m sure there are going to be some girls who sneak off and do things, but I can’t catch everyone,” he added.



Hair
Hair extensions were applied liberally to each model. Lead hair stylist Aki said they delivered “body and sexiness” to the look. Victoria’s Secret Mega-Lift Mousse was used on the hair before drying and curling with GHD tools. Curls were pinned up, and allowed to set before being loosened with fingers. As a finishing touch, serum was applied at the ends to add shine.
