As holiday season approaches, we're trying to keep our bikini bodies by ogling inspirational images of the Victoria's Secret Angels. (They arguably have the best bodies in the business.) But not only do we want to learn their fitness secrets, we are also obsessed with discovering their top beauty tricks. We know what skin care products they use (rose water is an essential!), but their signature smoky eye remained elusive — until now. Thanks to Reddit user Jaydevee's thorough tutorial, you'll finally be able to nail that look like Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes, or any of your other favorite Angels. Pair it with some bombshell waves and glowing, sun-kissed skin, and you'll be totally irresistible.

I was asked for my brow upkeep routine, so I have tried to show the best I can. If I had thicker, faster growing brows, I think I'd have a lot more insight. But it has taken me a LONG time to grow them out to how they are now. But it has been a lot of precise plucking and trimming in the right areas, as shown. Source: Reddit user jaydevee via Imgur
I then applied an eyeshadow primer (I used ELF) and a base shadow that is similar to my skin tone (I didn't add it, as you can use any shade. I used an ELF one from a super old palette because it works for me for the time being).
I applied the base shadow almost to my brow and all over my lid. It'll totally help with blending the matte shades especially. Those can be such a b*tch. Source: Reddit user jaydevee via Imgur
In the center of my blended area, directly on the brow bone, I appled "M6" from the Smashbox Full Exposure Palette. I blended almost as much as I blended "Caramel," but not enough to completely mix the colours together. You still want to be able to see "Caramel." Source: Reddit user jaydevee via Imgur
Now, I applied "Topaz" from the Amrezy palette on top of "M5." I patted it onto the lid instead of blending it too much, but I did blend it more up in the inner corner of my eye so it blends well into "Caramel" and "LBD." It creates a very soft transition.
I used "Vanilla" for a brow bone highlight right above "Caramel."
I missed a picture, but I then applied NYX "Milk" into the corner of my eye, halfway across the bottom of my eye, and on my bottom waterline. I softened that with my finger. I then added "Legend" into the corner of my eye and a little bit onto my lid, and then all over "Milk."
On the outer bottom of my eye, I blended "Caramel" a bit into "Legend" and brought down "LBD" a bit too. You want it to be as soft as possible in the transitions, but not overblending any of the colors. Source: Reddit user jaydevee via Imgur
