"Yesterday, I ventured into the land of Angels! No, I don&amp;#x27;t mean I had a near-death experience (unless seeing the otherworldly $2 million Victoria&amp;#x27;s Secret Fantasy Bra in person counts), but I got to hop backstage at the Victoria&amp;#x27;s Secret Fashion Show to watch the makeup artists in action creating the sweet, beach-inspired looks the Victoria&amp;#x27;s Secret Angels wore down the runway at this year&amp;#x27;s show. Wanna see?OK, before I show you the actual look, I want to tell you how excited I was to get to meet this lovely lady, Liu Wen: She&amp;#x27;s the first-ever East Asian Angel (she&amp;#x27;s from YongZhou, China). Super cool, right? (That pic is from the big ol&amp;#x27; board of models, and I think it&amp;#x27;s kinda cool how the reflection in the photo sort of gives her angel wings.) But I diverge, so back to the makeup. The look that the makeup artists were going for? A bronzey, sun-kissed look, &amp;quot;like real girls that just came from the beach,&amp;quot; said Tracy Alfajora, the makeup artist working on Liu Wen&amp;#x27;s gorge glowy look. Here&amp;#x27;s a peek: Oodles of prettiness proving even though it may be the middle of November, you can look fresh-off-the-sand. And you can snag the Angels&amp;#x27; look, too. Tracey broke it down in five easy-peasy steps: 1) Apply a foundation for a smooth, even tanned look. Tracey used the VS Pro Soft Focus Liquid Foundation SPF 20. 2) Contour with a shimmery powder bronzer with a little peach in it (like VS Makeup Bronzer/Highlighter Trio) to emphasize cheekbones. Then, use a full, large makeup brush to sweep the product up into the creases on the outside of the nose to enhance the natural, all-over sun-kissed glow. 3) Sweep a golden shadow&amp;amp;mdash;like the light hue in the VS Makeup Eyeshadow Quad in Eye Contact&amp;amp;mdash;lightly across your lids. 4) Use small sections of fake eyelashes to enhance what you naturally have (Tracey actually used MAC lashes for a little extra oomph), or apply a few coats of black mascara. Your goal is lashes that look full and flirty without being too dramatic. 5) Apply a brown lip pencil on the inside of your lips, (like VS Makeup Lip Liner in Foxy Brown), then dab a matte red lipstick on the lip (&amp;amp;agrave; la VS Makeup Matte Cream Lipstick in Icon). Finish with a nude gloss. Very easy to make happen, right? And an extra treat&amp;amp;mdash;here&amp;#x27;s Liu Wen&amp;#x27;s final look in action on the runway: We&amp;#x27;re in love with the glowy simplicity of it, aren&amp;#x27;t you? Are you gals excited to see the rest of the Victoria&amp;#x27;s Secret Fashion Show (it airs on CBS on 11/30 at 10pm)? Let us know if you try this pretty, beachy look! Here&amp;#x27;s what Tracy used to create the glow: More Victoria&amp;#x27;s Secret... P.S. I took tons of cool shots backstage!
