I’ve always loved getting backstage access and soaking in all the fashion and beauty magic from big shows back when I used to head to NYC for Fashion Week. This week, Victoria’s Secret hosted their spectacular runway show on Wednesday evening and now we’re getting an exclusive peek behind the scenes!
The legendary Pat McGrath (whom I absolutely adore) led the glam squad, and the makeup looks were nothing short of breathtaking pure bombshell beauty. Think angelic eyes kissed with shimmer, radiant glass-like skin, and lush, glossy lips in soft, natural shades. And the hair? Full of body and volume, perfectly in tune with that signature Victoria’s Secret glam though a few models embraced their gorgeous natural curls and others stunned in sleek wigs for added drama.
As Pat shared, “When we were ideating the looks with Adam [Selman], he just wanted every girl to glow,” says Dame Pat McGrath. “So we used the glow balms, Sublime Perfection foundation and concealer, and our stunning Skin Fetish Divine Glow highlighter.” For the finishing touches, she added her iconic Fetish Eyes mascara and the 2025 Holiday Eyeshadow Palette in Gilded Nirvana creating a look that was ethereal, radiant, and undeniably unforgettable.
