Bella Hadid, golden glow and luminous blonde in New York

The show emphasized controlled glow and modern energy. The complexion, subtly warmed, evoked tanned skin back from the weekend. What’s more, the stage light highlighted a soft honey-blonde. At Victoria’s Secret, this contrast of sun-kissed skin and light fibers drew the eye without forcing it.

On the make-up side, the tan seemed to come from thin layers rather than a mask effect. Bronze was applied in a C-shape, from the temples to the cheekbones, then blended down to the neck. A touch of peach blush woke up the center of the cheeks. A veil of liquid illuminator provided just the right amount of shine.

Blonde hair displayed warm, wet-sand-like highlights. Soft, wide-iron waves gave the airy movement so popular at Victoria’s Secret shows. A parting in the middle added symmetry and freshness. A shine spray, applied to lengths and ends, sealed the look.

“A sun-kissed glow and luminous blonde, it’s the signature of the evening.”

How to control a tanned complexion

Skin preparation changes everything, because hydration boosts radiance. Apply a serum rich in humectants, followed by a fine cream. In this way, foundation adheres better and marks less. In short, the base conditions the wear of the Victoria’s Secret look.

To warm up, think in 3 simple steps. First, a drop of progressive self-tanner in your day cream. Next, a light bronzer in a broad veil, followed by an apricot blush. As a result, the complexion gains in relief without blemishes.

• Bronzer C for sculpting without hardening
• Peach blush in the center of the cheeks
• Liquid illuminator on the cheek bone
• Luminous setting spray, fine mist
• Glossy lip balm to catch the light

A blond that flatters all skin tones

Schwarzkopf Professional – Igora Royal Permanent Hair Color offers precise blonds with shimmer control. Ask for a fade close to the root to avoid the helmet effect and, thus, keep the podium spirit.

The choice of tone makes all the difference, especially in the spotlight. A honey or sandy blond softens features, while a cool beige can be overpowering if the skin is very golden. Adjust according to skin tone and season. What’s more, a light shade minimizes maintenance every 6 to 8 weeks.

For maintenance, protect the fiber and shine. A purple shampoo once a week neutralizes unwanted warmth. However, don’t use too many dejauners, as the material can become dull. This subtle balance is reminiscent of the Victoria’s Secret spirit, luminous yet natural.

When it comes to styling, opt for the improved air-dry wave. Blow-dry to 80%, then form S-shapes with a wide iron. Then brush to break up the curl and achieve a supple movement. The result is in keeping with the sensual, fluid Victoria’s Secret line.

New York, the rhythm and energy of the evening

Olaplex – No. 4 Fine Bond Maintenance Shampoo helps strengthen fine color-treated hair. The mousse is gentle, so shine remains high and blond hair retains its bounce.

The show had a fast-paced dynamic, with bold silhouettes. The image reflects the new era of Victoria’s Secret, more fashionable and freer. The beauty set-up favored fine textures and glossy finishes. The message is clear: sharp technique, easy-going effect.

Beauty checklist inspired by the catwalk

Apply a light base, then correct slightly. Add a veil of powder to the T-zone, and keep cheeks creamy. This way, the skin catches the light just like on the Victoria’s Secret catwalk. For the eyes, a soft brown shadow and curling mascara are all you need.

Olaplex – Rich Hydration Mask repairs after repeated heat and brushing. Leave on for ten minutes, then rinse off lukewarm to keep color clear.

Calibrate heat tools to 180°C maximum on color-treated hair. Work in large strands, then cool each section. Then release and brush with soft pins. As a result, waves hold without stiffness.

This look is built in layers, not excess. Melted blond, a warm complexion and controlled shine are the winning trio. What’s more, it’s adaptable from day to night without heavy touch-ups. It’s the Victoria’s Secret spirit, designed for the stage and viable for real life.
