In last weeks Shop Talk, Victorias Secret model Lindsay Ellingson answered questions for Vancouver men. This week, we get caught up on the girlier goings-ons in her pretty little head.
While very much in spokesmodel mode, Ellingson was down-to-earth, well-spoken and seemed genuinely excited by the buzz surrounding the opening of the Robson Street store.
Heres what she had to say about:
Makeup: All of the Angels and makeup artists that I work with swear by this lipliner its made by Victorias Secret and its called Spice It up. Its kind of like a nudie, perfect colour for any lip colour. And you can actually extend the line of your lip to make your lips more voluptuous, which is a trick that we do on camera.
Hair: I recently had a hair stylist take five minutes to do my hair. He braided it while I was getting hair and makeup done. He did two braids, put a little salt spray in it, and then took it out. It wasincredible. That was it! Normally Im in the hair chair for an hour of them curling, so it was easy. Victorias Secret has a beach wave spray that does the trick.
Image: I think that Victorias Secret is all about powerful, confident, sexy, beautiful women, what all women want to be. As a whole, when you buy the lingerie or any of the products, they want you to feel amazing; its not just what you look like. So us, as Angels, represent that in our pictures and our personalities and our attitudes.
Trends: We have some really rich colours for fall. A bright purple, champagne and neon red, so very beautiful colours. And also pretty accents like lace, bows, keyholes. What I love is that prints are back in style, so theres leopard print and our iconic stripe print. I like to show off my Victorias Secret bras a little bit, like under a silk button-down shirt you could leave a button undone, just so you show a peak of the lace or the print. Its tasteful, beautiful and sexy.
Vancouver store: Oh, its amazing! Ive never seen a Victorias Secret store like that. I was really amazed by the mirrored grand staircase that led up to the floor-to-ceiling video screens. It was playing our fashion shows, and that was super cool! Ive never seen myself that big.
