    pretty much what macarena said.
    main light on a boom up high with the axis close to being in line with the camera (maybe slightly camera left)

    Use a silver hard light reflector for your main light (standard 7"/8.5"/11"/possibly a silver lined beauty dish/etc.)

    Pull that main light back far enough to give you full body coverage.

    2 edge lights brighter than your main, but even to each other, or adjust how you see fit. If you keep your models close to the background and point these just right they can light your background for you too. The blow back from the background can add to the edge light effect.

    Have your make up artist use some lotion or oil to boost the shine on the skin.
