The four preternatural beauties towered over guests in jeans,
Victoria's Secret T-shirts and cropped jackets. They were as pretty as
one might expect.
Growing up the Cayman Islands, she was known as "bug eyes," "chicken
bones" or "praying mantis," but fans, or underwear buyers, know Ebanks
as one of Victoria's Secret's hot-bodied Angels.
Raised with seven brothers, she says she was a tomboy. Not anymore.
"Now I'm obsessed with lingerie... I clean my house in Victoria's
Secret underwear. I'll wear a merry widow, some stockings... It's
important to feel feminine."
How was does one keep in lingerie shape? For Ebanks, three times a week at the gym to get toned, focusing on lots of squats.
"You can see the videos," she said, pointing to the flat screen TV on the wall, "It's all about the booty at Victoria's Secret."
Linda Hay, head Victoria's Secret makeup artist and the creator of the
iconic shimmering skin, smokey-eyed, dewy-lipped aesthetic, was on hand
to offer tips on her favorite products and to talk about what it's like
to make the world's most beautiful women even prettier.
"I use the same rules that apply to everybody: makeup should enhance,
not transform," said the lightly made-up blonde. "I want the face to be
as pretty as it can be, not too hard, to have soft edges, a little
out-of-focus. That's sexy.
She said she always starts out her makeup applications on the Angels by
smoothing them down with a moisturizer-self-tanner blend of her own
devising.
"Then I use even more products to make it more glorious, shimmer powders and so on," she said with a smile.
Then it's on to sultry eyes using the Very Sexy Mosaic Eyeshadow
compact, shimmery lips done in the Beauty Rush glosses and, well, a lot
of other makeup that's pretty involved.
On Friday, the gifting suite had several VIP visitors, including Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, Charlie Sheen's fiancée, Brooke Mueller, Daddy's Little Girls star Gabrielle Union and the wife of Super Bowl XLII halftime performer Tom Petty, Dana York.
They had their hair and makeup done and enjoyed such free goodies as
bras, panties, lip glosses and perfumes, packed up in the signature
pink striped bags.
