Victoria’s Very Bold backstage beauty
From Erin Skrypek

NEW YORK—It was about 110 degrees backstage at the Victoria’s Secret runway show that took place a few weeks ago. Not because there were an unusually high number of barely-clad supermodels crammed into a small basement room in Manhattan’s Lexington Avenue Armory building, but because there were an equally large number of hair dryers blowing hot air into a room that would have inevitably been uncomfortably warm anyway, thanks to the number of models, makeup artists, hair stylists, photographers, film crews and journalists already packed into it.
Still, as painfully hot as it was, any man on the planet would have probably sacrificed a year’s worth of his salary to stand in that very room, sweat dripping down his back, in silent prayer that one of the incredibly short, red silk Victoria’s Secret robes that was barely covering the world’s sexiest bottoms would slip just so… But then again, everyone can see Gisele’s bum and the better part of Adriana Lima’s boobs for free if they watch CBS on Dec. 6th, when the Victoria’s Secret show will be broadcasted.
While men may have their own reasons for watching the show, women have theirs: We want to know how to ooze sex as naturally as these “angels” do. Which, we are well aware, doesn’t necessarily mean we have to don a fur trimmed red mini, thigh high “Santa” boots, a diamante bra and have our boyfriend call us “Mrs. Claus.” Even if we exchange the bras, panties, garter belts and high heels for a tracksuit and sneakers, and simply get the model’s hair and makeup right, we’ll be making our own Very Sexy (™) statement.
Fashion Wire Daily went backstage not to see naked supermodels, but to get the details on how to get that signature Victoria’s Secret look. We got the lowdown on the hair, the makeup and all the products you’ll need TO make any room you step into feel as hot as it was backstage at the world’s sexiest runway show. But doesn’t shine serum go on when the hair is dry?
