How To: Get the 2011 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Makeup Look

Phyllis — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 04:37:32 +0000

Love the natural, feminine and glowing look spotted at the Victoria’s Secret 2011 Fashion Show? Learn how you can recreate it with Victoria’s Secret very own beauty line!

Face & Cheeks
Prep skin with VS PRO Airbrush FX Face Primer SPF 20. This creates a supple canvas for makeup to glide on. Using a foundation brush or a damp sponge, buff VS Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 in your shade into skin to create a flawless second-skin effect. For any skin imperfections, custom blend your exact skin match using VS PRO Camouflage FX Concealer Palette and press into skin using a concealer brush or your finger. To warm the skin, apply VS Baked Mineral Bronzing Powder in Glitterati over the face concentrating on the top of the forehead, the temples, the cheekbones and the jawline. For that rosy flush, swirl VS Luminous Mineral Blush Duo in Starlet onto apples of cheeks pulling color slightly up towards the temples. As a finisher and for that iconic and angelic glow, dust VS Brilliant Shimmer Shadow in Gold Dust (yes, a loose pigments eyeshadow!) onto temples and the tops of cheekbones. The bronzer, blush and gold highlighter should blend seamlessly into one another.

Eyes
Start with VS PRO Lasting FX Eye Shadow Primer on lids as a base for the eye look. For under eye circles, darkness or puffiness, swipe VS PRO Light FX HD Eye Brightening Pen under eyes. Pop that VS Brilliant Shimmer Shadow in Gold Dust now onto the browbones and the inner corners of the eye. This will really open and enhance the eyes. To get ultra-flirty eyes (the focal point of the makeup), run VS Precision Liquid Liner in Blackest Black along upper lashline starting at the inner corner and extending slightly beyond the outer corner for a slight upward cat-eye wing.

Note: The overall beauty look for 2011 was very natural so the liquid liner should not be overly dramatic or too thick. Finish eyes with coats and coats of the volumizing and lengthening VS Triple Drama Mascara in Blackest Black. Layer it on both top and bottom lashes!

Lips
The lip look was soft and pouty so no need for lip liner to achieve it. Start with VS PRO Smooth FX Lip Scrub & Balm to exfoliate then replenish lips so they are perfectly smooth and plump. Apply VS Perfect Lipstick in Whisper – a pink champagne nude beloved by makeup artists and the VS Angels! Top the lipstick with a coat of VS Lip Gloss is Sublime – a sheer coral – or VS Sparkling Lip Gloss in Delight – a sheer sparkly pink, concentrating on the center of the mouth for added fullness and shine.

Body
Gone was the deep bronze faux glow, and it its place this year for body was a head-to-toe healthy glow! This can be achieved with a liberal coating of Victoria’s Secret Angel Fragrance Lotion. For a little boost of color, mist VS Beach Sexy Flawless Airbrush Instant Spray over the entire body. For highlights and contours, run VS Beach Sexy Sun Dust Bronze Shimmer Brush down the center of legs, on the collarbone and over shoulders.

Hair
This year’s signature hair look was beautiful and full “tousled glamour”. Hair was set with curls going outward versus spiral or barrel curls. To amp up the volume and add texture, So Sexy Style Clean & Go Dry Shampoo was sprayed. For that healthy shine, So Sexy Style Brilliant & Glossy Shine Mist was spritzed.

Backstage Hair and Makeup at Victoria’s Secret 2011 Fashion Show

Phyllis — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:43:40 +0000

This year at the Victoria’s Secret 2011 Fashion Show, the Angels were brought back to reality with relatively toned-down makeup and less shimmer – super sexy nonetheless!

According to Allure, makeup artist Tom Pecheux prepped the models’ skin with Rodin Olio Lusso Face Oil and Estée Lauder DayWear Plus Multi Protection Anti-Oxidant Cream SPF 15 then applied a liquid foundation (Estee Lauder’s Double Wear Light Stay-in-Place Makeup SPF 10 and Victoria’s Secret Makeup Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 were both spotted backstage). Along the cheekbones, he brushed on a mix of Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Luminous Bronzer in Glitterati and rosy blush (try VS Makeup Luminous Mineral Blush Duo). Then, he applied a cream colored shadow on the eyelids, a thin, Marilyn Monroe-inspired line of black liquid liner along the lash lines, and Victoria’s Secret Triple Drama Mascara to the lashes. On the lips, Tom swiped on Victoria’s Secret Perfect Lipstick in Whisper and topped with Victoria’s Secret Sublime Lip Gloss.

As for the hair, hairstylist Orlando Pita gave the girls a side-part and textured shiny waves with hair extensions and dry shampoo. On the nails, Essie Sugardaddy was used.

Catch the Victoria’s Secret 2011 Fashion Show on CBS at 10/9c on Nov 29th!

Backstage Makeup Breakdown: 2010 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Phyllis — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 03:14:39 +0000

Tom Pecheux returned to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2010 as the lead makeup artist and created a “California Girl meets French Kiss” look on the models this year.

The skin was evened out with liquid foundation before bronzer was heavily buffed across the cheekbones and on the outer sides of the bridge of the nose for a sun-kissed look. The same shade of taupe contoured the cheeks and creases of the eyes, whereas white eyeliner and gold eyeshadow made the waterline and inner corner of the eyes pop. The eyelashes were made lush without being over the top with coats of mascara and individual lashes. Finally, a brown lip liner traced the outline of the lips and a matte red lipstick was dabbed onto the center of the lips before topped with a nude gloss.

Backstage Hair and Makeup: 2009 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Phyllis — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 04:01:24 +0000

The 2009 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is back on TV tonight and just like any other year, the hair and makeup is totally to die for!

Makeup
This year we have French beauty guru Tom Pecheux turning our beautiful supermodels into Angels. Tom kept the same theme with a “a bit of freshness, light colors, no hard line, a lot of shimmer, pink lipstick, black mascara, of course a bit of glow, a bit of tan, a bit of sexiness”.

To play up Miranda’s eyes, Tom applied taupe and pink eyeshadows on the eyelid, gray liner that is winged out and added individual lashes. A rosy blush warmed up the skin and pink lipstick along with peach gloss topped the lips. Shimmer was also applied generously to highlight the cheekbone, brow bone and inner corner of the eye for a bling bling effect.

Hair
Hairstylist Laurent Philippon created loose waves that are “light, sensual and move a lot”. For hair “that you would want to touch”, Laurent and his team added extensions, before prepping the hair with So Sexy Volumizing Mousse and Supersmooth Straightening Balm from Victoria’s Secret very own haircare line. The hair was then curled and set with Natural Hold Hairspray, again from the VS line.
