5 Victoria Secret Fashion Backstage Beauty Looks
The 2015 Victoria Secret Fashion Show won’t air until early December but lucky for us, social media has given us a sneak peek behind the scenes of the most anticipated runway show of the year. Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid have made their catwalk debuts for the brand while Selena Gomez, Ellie Goulding and The Weekend will feature as musical guests.
The Victoria Secret Fashion Show never fails to disappoint. Each year, we can’t to see the Angels take to the runway in bedazzled underwear and head-turning beauty looks. Read on for our 5 favorite beauty looks we have glimpsed so far behind the scenes.

There is this perception that the Angels wear a lot of makeup for the show but that is in fact false. While bronzer was a staple at all the previous shows, this years looks behind the curtains revealed a much more natural and fresh look. Makeup artist Dick Page revealed, “You won’t find concealer or bronzer on the girls, just a bit of darker foundation along their hairlines for definition and touches of gold highlighter”

This year was all about back to basics and the minimal eye makeup reaffirmed that. Dick Page says – “To replicate this look use a bit of black cream shadow to create definition in the lash lines. Use a beautiful golden taupe-brown over the lid, through the crease and lower lashes.”

When it comes to eyelashes it’s all about definition not length. Page used Ardell individual eyelash clusters that adds visible volume to the lash line that pops in front of lights and cameras, but not length “You shouldn’t be able to see them from space,” he says.
4. Nude Glossy Lips

Nude glossy lips make a bold statement in a subtle way while remaining classy and sexy. The Angles where spotted wearing shades of colour that matched their skin tones perfectly. When replicating this look keep your skin tone in mind. For fair skin, use peachy, pink, or even a totally nude shade. For medium or dark skin consider a peachy beige or a lipstick warmer in color. Top off with a clear or slightly tinted gloss.
5. Natural Hair

When it comes to hair, Victoria Secret is know for bombshell, bouncy and super long look but this year it was all about celebrating individuality. Maria Borges made history by wearing her short, natural hair down the runway making it the first time any black model has done so. There was no extensions added to girls with shorter hair, while the girls still rocked their signature VS bombshell locks.
What we loved most about the backstage photos is the celebration of individuality and natural, fresh makeup that enhances your features without drastically changing your appearance. Being unique is what makes us beautiful so remember that being yourself is always best.
We look forward to watching the Victoria Secret Fashion Show on the 8th of December, so stayed tuned for our runway beauty breakdown.
