“I tested over £300 worth of product from the range – here’s what I rate”
Victoria Beckham is a beauty icon – fact. So, when she launched her namesake brand back in 2019, my only question was ‘Why did it take so long?’. I had high hopes that she’d deliver that enviable 90s look in product form, and she did not disappoint.
I was a loyal Spice Girls fan, but even if you weren’t, I do think the Victoria Beckham Beauty range stands out on its own amongst the celeb beauty brand craze. It wasn’t just the luxurious weighty packaging in the Insta-worthy tortoiseshell design (I’m a sucker for this packaging), but the formulas are unanimously creamy, buttery and blendable. Seriously, it makes a smokey eye foolproof to achieve.
It’s worth noting that this isn’t the cheapest celeb beauty brand knocking around (the most budget-friendly are the lip liners at the £24 mark) but it is the definition of luxe. It’s expensive because it looks and feels expensive – totally VB vibes.
I’d tried bits and bobs since the launch, but it wasn’t until I went on a recent trip and had to bring my condensed makeup bag and I realised how much Victoria Beckham Beauty I use on a daily basis, that I decided it was time for a rundown on my top-rated products from the range (and the ones I’d skip on next time).
This was the first product I ever tried from the range and it made me fall in love with blush again. I use the terracotta-y shade ‘Playground’ on a daily basis to act as a 2-in-1 blush-bronzer hybrid and it’s the skin equivalent of a Red Bull for when I’m tired.
Not only are all the shades wearable (picking only one would be a feat) but they also blend out easily, without compromising on pigmentation; these are not blushes that are going to disappear after five mins, trust me.
Despite their staying power, they leave cheeks looking hydrated and dewy, so you’re left with a natural-looking flush.
