When a good chunk of time during your day job is spent in a hair or makeup chair with some of the most skilled artists in the business, you're bound to pick up some ingenious beauty tips. So, when we were granted backstage access at the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in London this week, we just had to ask the models — who were fittingly in the middle of pre-show primping — the best tricks they've learned while on the job. From homemade skincare remedies with herbal tea to surprising products that do double duty, we got 16 of Victoria's Secret's favorite ladies to spill their secrets. Yes, some of the suggestions might even seem too simple, but if these beauties swear by them, you'd better believe that they're worth testing out.

Click through for the all-time favorite beauty tips of Joan Smalls, Constance Jablonski and more, and don't miss the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show when it airs on CBS on Dec. 9.





Magdalena Frackowiak: “The best beauty tricks are always very simple. Use a little bit of lipstick as a blush — it will give you some extra shine on your cheeks. Foundation is very important, and I mix it with my face cream to help moisturize my skin. Instead of using power, use a thin tissue and touch the face — it will take away the oil. You can also apply powder over a tissue and not directly on your face.”

Kasia Struss: “Always use a toner before putting on your moisturizer. I’ve been using organic rosewater spray — you look more refreshed. The simple things are always best.”

Behati Prinsloo: “Since the first time someone sprayed rosewater on me, I’ve been addicted. I always have some in my bag, I travel with it everywhere. It hydrates and takes the skin tone to its natural pH, so that’s the one thing I’ve always stuck to. It doesn’t mess up your makeup, so you can spray it wherever and whenever.”

Izabel Goulart: “One thing I’ve learned how to buy since I’ve become a model is a good makeup remover. I used to buy them without realizing that they were responsible for causing breakouts on my skin, so I only use waterproof remover only. No oil, no nothing.”

Shanina Shaik: “Moisturize! But also bring the moisturizer into your foundation so it gives you a dewy look rather than a matte look. It’s more natural to your skin color as well.”

Bregje Heinen: “I like to put a little lip balm on my cheeks, it makes you look more like you’re glowing. For everyday, I always use moisturizer and fill in my eyebrows — it makes sure a difference in defining your face.”
