The angels are back with bombshell glamour and voluminous blowouts. No slick-backs in sight!
Luminous skin, softly smoked eyes and full-bodied hair defined the beauty direction at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Show. Makeup by Pat McGrath and hair by Guido Palau complemented the models and A-list celebrities with a polished interpretation of the brand’s signature glamour.
The makeup
Luminous skin and softly smoky eyes anchored the look. Warmth through the cheeks and highlights across the cheekbones extended to the shoulders and décolletage.
Dark liner blended into shaded lids with shimmer adding dimension and lashes bringing drama. Groomed brows and glossy neutral-pink lips balanced the definition around the eyes.
The hair
Palau’s direction centred on volume, shine and movement. Lifted roots and generous bends framed the face while curved ends gave the blowouts a soft finish.
Backstage rollers and round brushes helped create the fullness. Natural textures and curls also featured, offering different expressions of the same glamorous direction.
Together, the luminous makeup and voluminous hair brought Victoria’s Secret’s signature glamour into focus. There were glimpses of the iconic Angels we remember. It’s no surprise you’ll be seeing us with bouncy blow-waves and smoky eyes this festive season…
Yours truly,
TBD x
