Kelsey, the first Filipina model to have ever walked in the prestigious Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, shared her beauty secret with Vogue Magazine.

In a video posted on the Instagram account of Vogue, they described Kelsey Merritt as 'not your average' Victoria's Secret model.

“Model @kelseymerritt is not your average @victoriassecret model; the 22-year-old is the first Filipino to ever walk the iconic lingerie label's runway, a victory she shares with the country where she was born and raised until she moved to New York City last year.

"Here, she shares with us the beauty routine she did for her Victoria's Secret casting: 'I wanted to bring out my best qualities--not cover them up.'”


In an article written on Vogue on November 13, Kelsey also said about her stint at the recently concluded Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, “It means a lot to me and the people back home because they've always wanted a Philippine model to walk.

“It's not just success for me--it's also success for them.”

She also turned emotional about having the opportunity to work with the amazing people behind Vogue magazine.

She posted on her Instagram, “OMG my beauty secrets with @voguemagazine is out!! I never imagined I would ever work with Vogue, so this is another one off of my bucketlist!! I'm in tears of joy right now.”

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was taped last November 8 (U.S. time) and will be broadcasted on American TV and online on December 2.
