Victorias Secret Fashion Show 2010 Makeup Tutorial

Its that time of year again! This year the makeup was defined by a wide wash of bronze in the crease and light, yellowy soft gold defining the lower lash line framed with long and wispy lashes. All finished with a pop of berry color on the lips and of course, lots of bronzer. :)
