That's why the Victoria's Secret model is so beautiful brown

Self-tanning specialist Jimmy Coco reveals: Several liters of self-tanner are applied so that all Victoria's Secret angels are beautifully tinted.

Eternally long legs, flawless make-up, and perfectly tanned skin - these are all attributes that can be used to describe the Victoria's Secret angels that hovered over the catwalk in London yesterday.

As a specialist involved revealed, however, not only behind the professional make-up, but also behind the sexy tan Victoria's Secret models a lot of work.

Jimmy Coco, who calls himself 'Tan-Master' (in German, something called 'master of the tan'), has been working behind the scenes of Victoria's Secret shows since 2006. He has helped some of the most beautiful women in the world to a beautiful complexion. His most important utensil here: self-tanner.

Opposite Elite Daily, Jimmy Coco revealed that up to three layers of self-tanner are applied to the skin of each Victoria's Secret model until they all look as if they have just returned from vacation.

For a single show a total of 40 tubes of self-tanner are needed. That's about 3.5 liters of self-tanner for just one Victoria's Secret Show. The application takes with 25 minutes per shift, although relatively long, but keeps the fake tan up to a week. Thus, the angels can, after they have finished their work on the catwalk, even privately a little bit of their tan benefit.

Incidentally, backstage was not just about Jimmy Coco's self-tanning skills. Behind the scenes, 25 hairstylists, 25 makeup artists and nine nail care professionals worked to make the models look just perfect.
