Victoria Beckham speaks exclusively with Vogue about the launch of her brand’s new concealer
When two (product categories) become one… Victoria Beckham Beauty makes its first foray into the treatment make-up space this month with its skin-reviving Concealer Pen, the brand’s third collaboration with Augustinus Bader. Not since YSL’s Touche Éclat has a click-pen concealer been so covetable – but while its feather-light predecessor was more about brightening than concealing, VB’s version offers buildable coverage, and comes in 16 shades to cater to a broad spectrum of skin tones to boot.
Fighting imperfections
“Complexion as a category is obviously incredibly competitive, so it was about waiting until the time was right so that I could execute it perfectly,” Victoria, fresh from her summer holidays, tells Vogue from her London HQ. “I’m always creating what I can’t find, and, yes, I could have done this myself, but nobody can compete with Professor Bader’s 40 years in a science lab. I really believe in him and his technology and wanted it in this product.”
The specific technology she’s citing is Bader’s proprietary TFC8 ingredient, which supports cell renewal over time. “Working with Professor Bader and getting to know and understand him over the years through our previous collaborations [on our Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturiser and Power Serum], I knew it would be the absolute dream to create a concealer that wasn’t only the best make-up product, but had the best skincare benefits too,” she explains.
