Heidi’s Makeup was inspired by her gown. Makeup artist Linda Hay focused on the eyes, the absence of color and neutral lip. The skin was sun-kissed with a beige/bronzy look from head to toe using a mix of Victoria’s Secret Bare Bronze Gleaming Self Tan Tint and Victoria’s Secret Daily glow Moisturizer to her whole body and a light sweep of Ooh La La Shimmer Powder to line her legs, arms and shoulders. For Heidi’s face, Linda used tinted moisturizer to even out her complexion and a little concealer around the eyes and nose. A light dusting of translucent powder and Goddess Bronzer to shape and contour her face.

For Heidi’s eyes, Linda used Black Velvet Eye Pencil to draw a very thin line on the top lash line. Then using the 2 lighter Charcoal colors in the Satisfied Eye Very Sexy Mosaic Palette, she lightly smudged the the pencil and drew in the crease. Linda used the white shadow in the Mosaic palette to highlight right underneath the brow line and dot at the inside corner of the eye. Underneath, she also added a thin sweep of lightest silver to gently define the eye.
Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Makeup
Next, she applied individual lashes to top and bottom lashes and about 4 or 5 applications of Victoria’s Secret Very Voluptuous Black Mascara. To make the eyes pop up even more, she used Sparkling White Eye Pencil. The lips kept matte. Linda use Ginger Spice to line her lips and filled them with a combinations of Whisper and Spontaneous.

Interview with Heidi Klum-Oscar Special
This week Heidi Klum teamed up with Victoria’s Secret and celebrity style experts Linda Hay, Helena Faccenda and Mary Alice Stephenson for an exclusive event to showcase Hollywood’s best red carpet secrets. Beauty Interviews was lucky enough to ask Heidi three questions about how to prepare for the red carpet and also learn more of her secrets to looking so beautiful. Heidi Klum’s interview was published today in BeautyInterviews.com Oscar Special February 2008 edition. Here are some highlights from Heidi’s interview!
Heidi Klum-Beauty Interviews Oscar Special February 2008.
How do you decide on a hair style for the red carpet? The dress inspires everything. I’ll put on the dress the day of the event and we’ll collaborate on what kind of hair and makeup will look best.
In what way is red carpet makeup different that any other day or event? Red carpet beauty prep is a little different because you usually have more time to get ready and it becomes a fun, girly event. We joke around and sip a little champagne. It’s really fun and festive. And, red carpet makeup can be a little bolder and more adventurous when you’re wearing a dramatic evening gown.
Is there any beauty do’s or don’t’s before the big red carpet day? I try to live a healthy balanced life always, so I don’t do anything different before the big day. I think you get into trouble if you’re experimenting with crazy or drastic beauty treatments the day before! But, I do like to have sun-kissed skin for the red carpet, so I apply Bare Bronze Gleaming Self Tan Tint mixed with Bare Bronze Daily Glow Moisturizer the day before. Top with a little Sexy Little Things Shimmer Powder and you’re glowing for the red carpet!

Products that I use that are great for red carpet looks: Victoria’s Secret Very Voluptuous Lip Plumper-The perfect red carpet product, it PLUMPS and SMOOTHS lips. Good for the red carpet if you want lips to be the focal point. Victoria’s Secret New Very Voluptuous Extreme Volume Mascara-For lush, unbelievably thick, eye opening lashes. Defines and lengthens while creating ultra-voluminous, clump-free lashes in just one sweep.

Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Makeup Mosaic Bronzer-Blend and dust over cheeks, forehead and nose, for sparkling skin, great for red carpet pictures. Oscars Make-up needs to last from the red carpet, through the show, to the after parties Mosaic Bronzer gives skin a quick “pick-me-up” by adding a touch of bronze to he face.
My Makeup.. It is true – I am a makeup junkie. I love playing with makeup and experimenting with different looks that are fun, but natural. On Sunday, I will be sporting a look from the newest collection from Victoria’s Secret Beauty: Very Sexy make-up Diamonds, which launches in April, this collection is infused with real crushed diamonds to capture and reflect light, creating multi-faceted color and over-the-top sparkle for eyes, lips and face!
Victoria’s Secret So Sexy Haircare.
My hair… SEXY is the buzz word for beauty, especially during the Oscars. Smoky eyes, shimmering skin, glossy lips and voluptuous, sexy hair. Victoria’s Secret has created a So Sexy collection for the hair that will be seen all over the red carpet. To read Heidi Klum’s entire Interview click here!
Here is the Q&A with Victoria’s Secret Experts: Makeup artist Linda Hay and Hair Stylist Helena Faccenda:
1) What is the fastest way to get red carpet hair?
Helena Faccenda: A messy bun always looks great and is so easy to do by yourself. If you’re hair is dry and you have 5 minutes, blow dry hair with So Sexy root-boosting spray for a little volume, back-comb at the crown, and gather into a pony tail. Pin the hair around the elastic into a bun and you have instantly sexy red carpet hair.

2) Is there an easy smoky eye that anyone can do?
Linda Hay: No smoky eye is complete without layers and layers of mascara, so the first step is to curl the lashes before you begin applying liner and shadow. I like Victoria’s Secret’s new Very Voluptuous Mascara, which gives me the look of three coats of mascara in one application. Next step is the eye liner, but a fabulous smoky eye is not just black eyeliner that’s smudged; the secret is in the blending. Take a black or brown eye pencil and line the lash line around the entire eye – top and bottom – except the inside quarter of the lower lash (it looks too severe and aging if lined here).

Then, take a coordinating palette of 3 – 4 powder eye shadows, like Very Sexy Mosaic Eye Shadow in Smitten. Apply the darkest shade, like a charcoal grey shade, on top of the eye liner and blend up and out. Blend in a brownish shade into the crease of the eye, but don’t take the shadow above the eye crease. I like to take a light shadow, either a silver or gold shade, and apply to the lower lash line for a fresh and sexy look that makes the eyes look open and awake. And there you have it – a simple, sexy smoky eye.
3) What is the most fool proof way to have that radiant, glowing skin?
Linda Hay: Whether it’s the red carpet, a runway show or a photo shoot, glowing, sun-kissed skin always looks gorgeous. I always ask my client to exfoliate the night before or morning of the event so we start with a fresh and smooth surface. I like to apply a (Victoria’s Secret) 50/50 “cocktail” of Bare Bronze Gleaming Self-Tan Tint (for instant bronzing) with Bare Bronze Daily Glow Moisturizer (for moisturization and a fool-proof self-tan).
Victoria’s Secret Bare Bronze Collection.
I top bronzed skin with a shimmer powder like Sexy Little Things Ooh La La, drawing a line with the fluffy shimmer brush along the front of the arm from shoulder to fingers, and on the front of the leg from thigh to toes. This will help visually slim and make the skin glow when the camera’s flashbulb pops.The secret to a good shimmer powder application is drawing an imaginary line from the shoulder to the fingertip and the top of the thigh down to the toe. Don’t apply shimmer all over the arms and the legs because the light will reflect like a big mirror and objects will appear larger than they really are!

Victoria’s Secret Valentine’s Day Makeup Tips
Linda Hay is the lead makeup artist for Victoria’s Secret, responsible for beautifying the Victoria’s Secret backstage at photo shoots and the nationally televised Victoria’s Secret Fashion show. Here, Linda gives her tips for creating a super-sexy look for the all-important Valentine’s Day date.
Victoria’s Secret What’s Sexy for Valentine’s Day!
Valentine’s Day makeup should always be supremely sensuous. It should be soft, sexy, and look effortless. For the body, the skin should always be soft and touchable. Be sure to exfoliate, moisturize, and apply some Bare Bronze Gleaming Self Tan Tint ($18) all over for a sun-kissed glow. Follow with a light dusting of Sexy Little Things Give Me The Shimmers Body Powder ($28). Don’t overdo it; the goal is to appear fresh and dewy as possible.

For your makeup, I suggest defining the eyes. Apply Very Sexy eye Liner in Exotic Plum ($10) to the lash line on the top, bottom and inside the eye. I love this color for its versatility. It’s rich eggplant color that works for everyone, regardless of eye shape and skin tone. The finish is soft, smoky, feminine and less dramatic than black or chocolate. The use a smoky eye palette with an eggplant hue like Very Sexy Mosaic Eye Shadow in Menage ($18). Smudge the pencil with the coordinating eggplant shadow, blending up and away.

Apply a grey-steel shade into the crease and soften the line on the bottom lid. Use a light sweep of the silver shade to highlight the brow bone and add a dot to the inside corner of the eye to brighten the finish. A generous dose of Very Voluptuous Mascara in Very Black ($12) will finish this beautiful, sexy eye. Your cheeks should have that flushed, just-blushed look. Apply Very Sexy Mosaic Bronzer in Goddess ($18) to the T-zone, across the cheeks and along the jaw line to get an even, sun-kissed glow.

Then add a pop of color to the apple cheeks with Very Sexy Mosaic Blush in Wild child ($18), and dust a swipe of shimmer powder to the top of the cheek bone to make your skin glow. Your lips should be simple, just light stain with a little lip gloss. I suggest dabbing Very Sexy Perfect Lipstick in Sweet Release ($12) on your lips, and blot the excess with a tissue to achieve the perfect stain. Top with a touch of coral gloss like Beauty Rush in Cantaloopy ($7). The lips will look deliciously kissable. He won’t be able to resist the Very Sexy look on Valentine’s Day!
Victoria’s Secret Valentine’s Day Fragrance Tips
Valentine’s Day is the sexiest holiday of the year. To celebrate properly, read below and benefit from the sexiest beauty insight from Victoria’s Secret expert and fragrance developer: Mark Knitowski. Mark Knitowski is the in-house fragrance expert for Victoria’s Secret. He’s been developing fragrances for Victoria’s Secret for over 10 years and knows a thing or two about creating sexy, memorable scents. Mark’s newest creation, Sexy Little Things Ooh La La, launches just in time for Valentines Day.
Q: Where is the sexiest place to apply fragrance?
MK: The sexiest, new place to apply fragrance is below your belly button. It’s a “hot zone” in more ways than one because the skin’s warmth there allows the fragrance to radiate through out the day…and, it’s a very sensual place to apply fragrance.
Q: How do I find the fragrance that’s sexiest for me?
MK: A woman’s sexiest fragrance is one that makes her feel confident so she can project her sexiest self. We’ve discovered that fruity floral fragrances like our new Ooh La La scent makes our customers feel sexy because it balances the sparkling energy of light florals with the sensual mature of forbidden fruit with a hint of warmth. That combination is flirtatious and seductive, which works with a broad range of fragrance preferences.
Victoria’s Secret Ooh La La Eau de Parfum Spray
When sampling fragrance in a store, find a scent that you like in the bottle, but make sure you spray it on your skin. Then wait a few minutes-go shopping for some lingerie or makeup and smell the fragrance on your skin again. That’s when the deeper, warmer notes have adhered to your skin and you can determine truest rendition of the fragrance. It’s so important to try fragrance on the skin because scents vary when in contact with different body chemistries. It’s the same thing with makeup-try it before you buy!
Q: What scents do men like the most on women?
MK: Men respond to women’s fragrances with vanilla in the background, wither fruity floral or a vanilla oriental. They like scents that are not too overpowering and have a sense of femininity and sensuality to them. We’ve seen from research that there is something about the “comfort factor” of recognizable scents like vanilla and apple that resonates with men. I created our new scent Ooh La La with these idea in mind, combining Cherry Blossom, Apple and Vanilla for a fragrance that I know will be very alluring to men!
Victoria’s Secret Ooh La La shimmering Body Mist
Q: How do I make fragrance last?
MK: a fragrance should last for about 4 years, but if not stored properly, its lifespan can be only 2 years. The biggest mistake people make is storing their fragrances on the bathroom shelf in direct sunlight. This causes the lighter, top notes of the fragrance to evaporate and your fragrance will deteriorate quickly. the best way to make your fragrance last is to store it in a cool place out sunlight. A refrigerator at 60 F is truly the ideal place to store your fragrance.
Victoria’s Secret Ooh La La Shimmering Body Powder
Q: Any rules for applying and reapplying my fragrance?
MK: We all have our rituals for applying fragrance, whether it’s few direct sprays or walking through “the cloud”. No matter where you spray, always target at least one warmer zone like below the belly button, back of the neck, or cleavage to make the scent last. the number of sprays of fragrance needed depends on the concentration of the scent. Three to four sprays od eau de parfum and five to six sprays of a body mist are my general guidelines. The timeline to reapply also varies; two hours for a fruity or citrus fragrance, and four hours for a deeper, oriental fragrance.
Q: When is it time to find a new fragrance?
MK: We always have our long-term favorites. Victoria’s Secret Dream Angels Heavenly has been the number-one selling fragrance in America for several years now, and I’m thrilled with the response. In addition to your “signature scent,” I suggest adding a new scent to your repertoire, in the fall and/or the spring. This will give you a fresh feeling of renewal and will likely preventing you from OD’ing on your signature scent.

Eau de Parfum Spray
Q: Why is fragrance a good gift for a man to give a woman for Valentine’s Day?
MK: Fragrance is a very intimate gift. It’s the closest thing to your skin, which make it a good companion to lingerie. Or, it’s the perfect alternative when he’s not sure of sizing. It’s a gesture that says that he wants to be close to you on Valentine’s Day, which is a very seductive message! (Source: Victoria’s Secret PR).
