Though you'll likely be watching a magical event unfold perfectly right before your eyes, have you ever wondered what it's really like to be in the show? 

Hint: there's lots of coffee, burgers, and hours of strutting involved.

Here are secrets about the VSFS that you've always wondered, revealed from the mouths of the angels themselves.

Veteran angel Adriana Lima said angels work their wings off getting in top shape.

"It takes five hours of hair and make-up and months of workouts to get ready for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.In fact, we can take on any sports athlete in a serious workout. Just ask my boxing coach," Adriana Lima told BuzzFeed.

She added that wings are highly coveted backstage. "During fittings, we fight over who gets the biggest wings. But we actually really like one another."

Candice Swanepoel said bronzer is an important part of getting ready for the show.

Though naturally stunning, it takes a village to get them fashion show ready. "It varies from year to year, whether they want us to have body makeup or not. I think last year, they didn't want us to have too much, because [the look] was more natural ... But they used to have a whole set-up backstage of bronzers, getting it all in your a-- and in the right spots," Candice Swanepoel told HuffPost.

As for the strutting part of the show, Swanepoel told Glamour magazine, "The best thing is to do what comes naturally. I always try and prepare, like 'oh, I should do this at the end', because there's that moment you need to catch the camera at the end of the runway. But it never works if I prepare, so I kind of just shake it off and do whatever I feel comes naturally."

Selita Ebanks said there's even butt makeup.

Apparently, there's a lot of booty bronzer. "It's all about creating the illusion of this amazing body on the runway. People don't realize that there are about 20 layers of makeup on my butt alone," Selita Ebanks told HuffPost.
