Victoria Beckham has added concealer to her beauty line, here’s everything you need to know …
If you’ve tried anything from the Victoria Beckham Beauty line, you’ll know that its focus is skin science plus luxury. Think elegant, compact, stunningly good eyeliners, subtly flattering lip shades.
And now she’s stepping beyond skincare and make-up with her first concealer, created in collaboration with German skin-wizard Professor Augustinus Bader. “I want to be the best in class,” says Beckham firmly, on a Zoom call. “My dream when it comes to the complexion is to have make-up that conceals and treats at the same time. Having come up with the Priming Moisturiser and the Power Serum together with Professor Bader, this pen concealer is the next step.”
Beckham has long been a fan of a click-pen format (there was a lip gloss in her previous beauty collection with Estée Lauder). The concealer’s format has been carefully considered: the click-pen controls the amount that comes out, while the shape of the brush is perfect for accessing hard to reach areas, such as the inner eye, for precise application, the designer explains. “I obsess over all these little details,” she admits. The brush-pen makes it quick and easy to apply, and gives you the precision to put something where it’s needed.
“The idea is that when you take your make-up off, your skin looks better,” says Beckham. “I could never find a formula that satisfied me, or find a colour that perfectly suited my skin,” she says. “I truly believe this is one of a kind. While testing it, I’ve noticed a big difference in the skin under my eyes – I’m needing to use less concealer under my eyes, which is proof for me that it’s working. Even if I’m having a make-up free day, I will still wear this to treat my skin, but without clogging. Today [on the Zoom call] I’m wearing no foundation. And we worked with make-up artists to make sure that everyone can find their shade.”
It also points towards a foundation next, which Beckham promises is on the way. “We’re just starting our conversation regarding complexion. I want to push boundaries and create what’s not out there already. I’ve used the best make-up products out there and I’m very aware what I can’t get my hands on. And here we have something very unique. We haven’t compromised on either the science of the formula or the make-up aspect.”
