Victoria's Secret Angels are among the most beautiful and respected models in the industry. However, being an angel isn't all about runway and couture - these girls work hard to keep their hair, skin and body in perfect condition. Thankfully, they are willing to share some of their secrets.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Makeup
Step 1. Look for a good facial cleanser
Victoria's Secret angels have great skin, so finding a cleanser that suits your needs is very important. Look for one that works well for your skin and make sure you use it every night before going to sleep.
- If you have oily skin, look for an oil-free cleanser.
- If you have dry skin, look for an oil-based milk, cream, or cleanser.
- If you have combination skin, use a cleanser that balances it.
Step 2. Don't pluck your eyebrows
Natural thick brows are all the rage on the runway, so to imitate your favorite angel, don't touch them. If you have them naturally thin, try filling them in with a special pencil.
- Sculpt the eyebrows by applying the pencil on the arch, from the inside to the outside.
- You can also contact a beautician to dye them. The treatment costs around 20 euros and lasts 4-6 weeks.
Step 3. Contour
Pronounced cheekbones are a trademark of Victoria's Secret angels, plus they have the power to completely change the shape and appearance of the face.
- With your fingers, find the hollow below the cheekbones. Draw a line just below the bone with a dark stick foundation and extend it to the hairline.
- Blend the foundation, then apply loose powder to the rest of the face.
Step 4. Apply a nude lip gloss
Angels usually prefer natural lips, so that they don't distract attention from the rest of the makeup. Look for a nude pink lip gloss with moisturizing ingredients to prevent your lips from drying out too much.
- Avoid lipstick. Typically, it's not very practical for parades, so angels don't use it.
- Make sure you dab your lips to limit shine.
Step 5. Brighten the skin
Victoria's Secret models look like they just got back from a vacation in the tropics, and you too can have this look with the help of makeup. Replace your usual foundation with a tinted moisturizer or a subtle bronzer.
- Try applying some bronzer to your cheekbones, nose and forehead for a radiant glow.
- Apply a highlighter above the cheekbones for a dewy skin effect.
Method 2 of 4: Hairstyle
Step 1. Create some nice waves
For parading, angels usually prefer to wear long, wavy hair. You can easily achieve the same look by investing in a curling iron and hairspray.
- Before drying your hair, apply a volumizing mousse with your fingers. Run your fingers through your hair, as if you were combing it.
- If you have short hair, put on extensions, while if you have long hair, you don't have to.
- Curl your hair by taking one inch at a time. When curling sections at the hairline, turn them outward.
- Gently tease your hair with a boar bristle brush.
- Spray a flexible hold hairspray to secure them.
Step 2. Curl your hair in advance
Angel hair usually leans more towards beach waves than defined curls. The secret to getting a blur effect is to treat them at the right time. If you curl them early, they will have more time to take on a fall and natural look.
- Curl your hair several hours before going out. This will give them time to relax and transform into beach waves.
- To volumize them, spray a salt water spray on the roots.
Step 3. Apply conditioner before shampooing
The conditioner softens the hair, but also tends to weigh it down. To avoid this, apply it before washing them.
- If you have thin hair, use regular shampoo and conditioner.
- If you have dry hair, replace the conditioner with an oil-based pre-shampoo treatment.
Method 3 of 4: Nutrition and Physical Activity
Step 1. Try to have clean nutrition
Models are famous for having a fabulous body: after all, they parade in lingerie, so their diet must be adequate primarily for work reasons. There is no specific diet for having such a physique, but all the angels emphasize the importance of healthy eating.
- For breakfast, eat protein-rich foods, such as eggs Benedict or oats.
- For lunch, eat protein foods such as chicken or fish, with vegetables and fruit.
- For dinner, eat sushi and rice.
- Indulge in carbs and desserts from time to time, but in moderation.
Step 2. Find a workout that you like
Eating well is not enough: to have a lean and toned body like that of a model, sport is also a priority. Everyone prefers a certain training program, what is certain is that everyone has found fun activities to suit their tastes.
- For long, lean muscles, try yoga, Pilates, and ballet.
- To burn fat, try cycling, running, or boxing.
Step 3. Eliminate alcohol
Some models avoid it for a month in view of an important fashion show. Reducing consumption is ideal for avoiding empty calories, and it is also very useful for improving the texture of the skin.
- In addition to eliminating alcohol, make sure you drink water every day.
- Drinking 2 liters of water a day promotes digestion and fights abdominal bloating.
Method 4 of 4: Clothing
Step 1. Choose the right underwear for your body
For business purposes, angels almost always sport lingerie, so they know something about it. Avoid underwear that is in fashion but does not fit you, prefer the one that enhances you instead.
- If you have an apple-shaped body, look for a deep V-neck bodysuit.
- If you have an athletic body, try wearing a bra that ties behind the neck with a matching thong.
- If you have large breasts, look for trendy underwire bras and combine them with high-waisted panties.
- If you have a squat bust, look for a low-rise bikini.
- If you have a wider body at the bottom, try a babydoll.
- If you have small breasts, try a crisscross bralette.
Step 2. Choose comfortable clothes
Models are used to parading wearing different types of clothes, often elaborate, so it is common for them to look for comfortable, yet stylish clothing when they step off the catwalk.
- Look for skinny and boyfriend jeans that make your legs look long and slim.
- Look for simple items, like leggings and tunics, that you can easily combine and mix.
Step 3. Never leave the house without sunglasses
They are functional (they protect from the sun and prying eyes), but they also have a lot of style and give a touch of sophistication to even the most casual of combinations.
- Look for classic styles, like aviators and half-rims.
- If you wear flashy sunglasses, dress discreetly to create a good balance.
Step 4. Never forget high heels
On average, Victoria's Secret models are 1.75m tall, so wearing them allows you to get closer and closer to the look of angels. In addition to adding a touch of class to a match, putting on heels helps you improve your posture, not to mention that it's a good workout for your calves and glutes.
- Prefer stilettos - the higher, the better.
- If you've bought a new pair of shoes, bring them indoors to get used to before going out.
