How to Look Like a Victoria’s Secret Model
Tonight at 10/9 central on CBS, don’t miss the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show shot at the Fountainebleau Miami Beach.
In the video below, makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury takes us step-by-step through the sultry look so we can recreate it at home:
If you don’t want to watch the five minute video, here’s the highlights:
- Create the look of airbrushed skin by prepping with moisturizer. Apply liquid foundation over entire face and finish with concealer (two shades lighter than natural skin tone) under eyes and around nose. This not only covers dark circles and redness, but also highlights these areas.
- Add rich brown eye shadow under eyes, close to the lashline, and up on the lid into the socket. Be sure to extend out past the outer edge of the eye to elongate and accentuate the eye.
- Apply a peachy shimmer blush at cheekbones, forehead and bridge of nose for contour.
- Lightly trace lips with a ginger-colored lip liner, extending just past the edge of the lips for fullness. Add a beige-y peach lipgloss with lots of shimmer (Very Sexy Makeup Lipstick in Whisper is what Charlotte used on the models) and top off with a nude gloss (like Cupcake lip gloss from the Heidi Klum Collection).
Absolutely gorgeous.





great video!

yea that was a really awesome video, i feel like i learned a lot more from that one then the older charlie green videos (she is still an amazing makeup artist) because i got to see her actually put the eyeshadow on.
do you think that they used ONLY victoria’s secret makeup?? i think they would like us to think they did but i bet not
