It's actually all pretty simple. It appears so difficult because you see so many people hovering everywhere but that's just what ever fashion show backstage looks like. As someone on here said, Pursebuzz has made a ton of wavy/supermodel-hair tutorials that look just like the models' hair. It's sure as hell not ideal to attempt every morning before work, unless you want to get up an hour and a half before you leave your house (if you want it perfect), but it is possible if you know what you're doing with your curling iron.

If you have a really good curling iron, it won't take long to do your hair. I do my makeup like that every day and it really isn't high maintenance because it becomes really easy after doing it a few times. There are a lot of youtube videos on how to curl hair, depending on which kind you want. To keep your hair like that though, I recommend curling it with a curling iron and when you take your hair out of it, don't unroll it until it has hairspray in it and it's mostly cooled.

The problem is, I'm just not skilled with the curling iron. I have seen pursebuzz's tutorials, but I just can't seem to do them for some reason. That or it comes out all messed up. Then again, I think I should probably invest in a good curling iron if I want to achieve the look, right?
Does anyone know how to get that "body wave" through the hair? I guess something that kind of looks like this. Except more volume throughout the whole head. That's similar to VS hair, right?
I am just one of those girls who is not blessed with a head that is shaped to pull of the sleek, straight hair style. I need some volume on my crown and throughout my hair or else it just looks wrong

I know, right? After watching that vid I felt like achieving that hair was totally impossible. Especially with all of those extensions that they add, sheesh! *sigh*
I think the makeup is achievable, it'll just look very different on my features because I am Asian. I have very sparse eyelashes, and of course they use tons of falsies, but the look just doesn't look the same b/c I have small eyelids and few eyelashes

Well, I'd imagine it'd take at least an hour just to do the makeup. Lots of highlighting, contouring, layering, touch ups...
but a rushed, simpler version is probably reasonable for everyday makeup.

Im asian as well and i have very very very sparse eyelashes [mascara cant even help me here] Use individual false eyelashes! They arent as dramatic and as thick as the full strips and it doesnt line across the whole eye. It does take some time to practice but its fairly easy but time consuming. It seriously looks very natural.

Dear lusvic,
I just think you need some more practice with a curling iron. You could always try hot rollers as well. I find that Pursebuzz sometimes does it messy herself but she can afford it because she has very little hair so she could pretty much just grab any hair from any place and it works for her. Most of use have a lot more hair than she does and it really helps if you learn how to section your hair. It might take long the first couple of tries just because seeing so much hair all over the place becomes intimidating, but with practice you're sure to get it. If you're asian, it will probably be a little bit more challenging just because your hair is stick straight. If this is the case, you definitely don't want your hair to just fall after heating it. Make sure you put it into rollers or pin it to your head and let it sit for like 10-15 minutes. Achieving any kind of look will take practice to master. Hair needs just as much practice as makeup does.

If your hair is naturally sleek and straight you'll probably need a curling iron that gets really hot. What kind/brand of curling iron do you have?
On the other hand, if your hair is wavy or frizzy naturally, try getting it nice and straight before you curl. Use a flat iron, blow it straight, or do both <--that's what I have to do, and while it's hell on my hair, I love the results and do it often
Setting the curl after using an iron is a really good idea. I'd recommend using the big silvery type pins versus bobby pins (those tend to leave a dent in your hair and take a lot longer to put in). There should be some youtube tutorials on pinning hair. Wait til the hair is completely cool to the touch before taking the pins out. Or you can set them in velcro rollers and pin them like in the VS pics.
Above all it definitely takes a lot of practice. Try doing it whenever you have downtime and I have no doubts that you'll improve! Omg it took me a while to get it down so don't worry! And watch youtube...lots and lots of youtube haha!
OH wait one more thing, be sure to use products to help achieve and keep your style. Like before you blow dry, apply a volumizing mousse to damp hair. After you curl, give it a light spritz of aerosol hairspray (my FAV fav is Tresemme Tres Two Ultra Fine Mist) then set it. You can give another light spritz all over as they set, or after you take them out.

Please remember that these girls are supermodels that have a team of professionals working on them. You asked if we think its reasonable for someone to look like a VS model daily. Sure, if they are a VS model Im sure its not that hard for them to look like this.

I don't think it's unrealistic or unreasonable to have hair and makeup like a VS model on a daily basis. One thing is to have the hair and makeup, another is to have the chiseled face, the full bronzed body, full contoured body, full body shimmer, etc. That's what all those professionals are there to do. That's the part that is unrealistic, in my opinion.

Dude i wish I could use my curling iron to get curls in my hair, but im screwed. I have naturally curly hair and straighten it a lot, and i have to actually use a straightener to curl my hair...
I could never get away with using rollers.

If you are really that bad at using a curling iron, maybe you should try rollers (assuming you haven't already). I prefer heated rollers because it means I don't have to wash my hair- which is dry as heeell- and it takes less time. For the kind of hair the VS girls have going on, it doesn't have to be perfect, either. Just lots of body, and plenty of people have suggested using volumising spray as well, which sounds pretty good to me.
Maybe you should try a little teasing, backcombing at the roots. Honestly, you just have to experiment.
Good luck!

Velcro rollers are a must for me. Wash and Blowdry your hair with good volume/thickening products and roll the sections at the top of your head back and away from your face, spray with hairspray and clip tightly. Blast hot heat with your blowdryer for 60secs and let them cool completely b4 removing gently. Then finger comb into place and finish with a lil more hair spray.
As for makeup, go for Shimmery Bronzers + peach blush. And don't forget the signature innner corner highlight! MAC's Nylon shadow is perfect for that! Nude glossy lips lined lightly in a natural hue.
