Come on admit it. You know you always wonder how they get those Victoria Secret models to look so hot. Apart from genetics, there are some serious hair and makeup maestros handling these rare creatures. Charlotte Tilbury did an inspiring job as the makeup director of this year’s Victoria Secret Fashion Show.  The concept for the look was Back to Glamour. I love this…the look was inspired by Bambi: lots of soft pinks and peaches, with tons of lower lash mascara, combined with warm, tanned faces and shimmery limbs well treated with products from the Victoria’s Secret Bare Bronze line. To avoid cheapening the look, black eyeliner was avoided in favor of chocolate shades.

Adriana Lima, pictured at right as she was prepped for the show, doesn’t need a lot of help in terms of getting a healthy boost of color. But she and the other darker skinned girls were going crazy for the shimmering body products that the makeup artists used to give their legs definition and high-beam reflection. Obviously these models would look amazing with no products whatsoever, but this is a fashion show: When you’re under those stage lights, walking a catwalk, you really want to go for it.

None of us may be in the market for a $5 million Fantasy Bra, but a $22 palette of gorgeous multi-color blush might give us just as much of a boost right now.
