How Can You Achieve the Signature Victoria's Secret Model Glow?
Achieving the signature Victoria's Secret model glow is all about creating a look that's both luminous and subtly glamorous. Victoria's Secret models tailor their makeup to enhance their natural features, it's all about mastering contrast. Dive into our guide on “How to do Your Makeup According To Your Contrast Level” to discover how to achieve a perfectly balanced look that’s ideal for any occasion.
Tips to achieving that VS Model Makeup Look:
Have a Radiant Base: Use an illuminating primer or a glow booster all over your face. This helps create a smooth canvas and gives your skin a natural glow from beneath your foundation. Good options would be the Charlotte Tilbury HOLLYWOOD FLAWLESS FILTER, a good dupe is the ELF Halo Glow.
Choose the Right Foundation: Select a lightweight, dewy foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly. The goal is to enhance your complexion, not mask it. Apply it with a damp beauty sponge for a sheer, natural finish.
Concealer: Apply a light-reflective concealer under the eyes, around the nose, and on any blemishes. This will brighten and even out your skin without looking heavy.
Contour & bronze: Contour and bronze around the edges of your face to define your features. Contour your nose if needed.
Set your face: set your face with powder, mainly under your eyes and in the areas where you crease.
Blush & highlighter: Rose-Marie Swift, former Victoria’s Secret makeup artist, explains that they use red blush on VS models to make the models look more natural. If you don’t have a red blush, go for a pink blush; if you have dark skin, red would look amazing on you. After you blush, don’t forget to highlight, Victoria’s Secret runaway makeup is known for all the shimmer!
Enhance Your Eyes: Opt for soft, neutral eyeshadows with hints of pink and a touch of shimmer on the center of the lids to brighten your eyes. Define your eyes with a thin line of brown or black eyeliner, then finish with several coats of volumizing mascara to make your lashes look full and fluttery. These colors work beautifully across all skin tones.
Plump Lips: Line your lips with a pink nude lip liner slightly overlining for a fuller look, then apply a sheer or nude lipstick. Top it off with a clear or lightly tinted lip gloss for added volume and shine.
