Backstage Pass: How Do Victoria's Secret Angels Prep for a Shoot?

We got an exclusive glimpse at what really happens backstage with the Victoria's Secret beauty team

They really do have perfect skin The campaign for the fragrance, Love is Heavenly, features Erin Heatherton, Lindsay Ellingson, and Toni Garrn with flowers in their hair and minimal makeup. The look for the event was similarly minimal. "It's fresh and light and pretty," said Victoria's Secret makeup artist Meredith Baraf. "There's a little happiness in the cheeks, some highlighter on the brow bone, soft color on the eyes, and lots of mascara." I was expecting strips of false lashes and caked on foundation, but the reality was much more approachable. In fact, the models had such gorgeous skin that they needed little more than some VS Pro Airbrush FX Face Primer and a few dabs of tinted moisturizer. (At this point, my jealousy was starting to peak.)

This artical is kind of stupid, I didn't really see any real tips at all like I was expecting, who really cares about what they do?

I enjoyed this piece as I agree Victoria's Secrets Models stand out. And, though I appreciate other models who are not as blessed in some areas, I like to see what goes on with this group of gals too. I did get some new info and that was how to work dry shampoo. I have one that was not working for me though it is and has been rated well elsewhere.

Wow, it seems like it was way easier to do their hair and makeup than I would have imagined! Lucky girls.

I think the models are all pretty--but not beautiful. Beauty is something that sets you apart from others, makes you truly memorable; these girls all look like clones of each other.

I really like the victorias secret models most of them aren't super skinny like runway models although sometimes they photoshop them in strange ways. but overall they look healthy

Decent article, but it really didn't reveal anything spectacular.
