This Is the Product Victoria Beckham Uses for Her Signature Smokey Eye
I'm not ashamed to say that I'm a little bit obsessed with Victoria Beckham right now. Don't get me wrong—I've always been a fan of the Spice Girls singer, but ever since watching Netflix's docuseries Beckham, my love for the star has really grown. From her impeccable fashion taste to her new perfume collection, it seems that there's nothing she can't do. After a couple of late nights scrolling through her Instagram page (yes, I really am obsessed), one thing that I'm dying to know is how she does her signature smokey eye. It's no secret that the fashion designer's makeup is always flawless, but her eye makeup in particular never fails to amaze me. So, what's her secret? Well, luckily for you, I stumbled across a video in which the star revealed the exact eyeliner that she likes to use, and of course, it's from her own makeup line, Victoria Beckham Beauty.
Seriously, how good does her eye makeup look? Since the post went live, searches for "Victoria Beckham eyeliner" have surged on Google by a colossal 200%. Now that I know which eyeliner she uses, I thought it was only right that I did some research into the product so that I could let you know all about it. Interested? I thought so. Keep on scrolling for all the info you need…
What Eyeliner Does Victoria Beckham Use?
So, the eyeliner in question which VB uses in the video is none other than the Satin Kajal Liner from Victoria Beckham Beauty (£32). According to my TikTok feed, this eyeliner is very popular, and it's easy to see why. Available in 19 shades and three different finishes (shimmer, matte and jewel, which has a touch of glitter), the creamy, smudge-proof formula glides on and is perfect for creating a range of looks, whether you're using it on the lash line, on the lids for a smokey eye or to tight-line the eyes. The clever pencil comes with a small sponge on the other end to help smudge out the product, which will help you create that signature smokey eye that Beckham is known for.
As you can see in the video above, she used shade Cinnamon, describing it as softer than using a dark brown or black, giving a slightly "wet" look to the eye thanks to the shimmery finish. She recommends applying the liner to the inside of the eye, as well as underneath the lower lash line and just above the upper lash line to really open up the eye area.
Is the Victoria Beckham Eyeliner Good?
We know that VB is a fan, but what do other people think of her brand's eyeliner? If the reviews online are anything to go by, it's definitely a big hit. One customer wrote, "So good! I love it! I can smudge it and then it stays in place all day!", whilst another said, "I’ve used many eyeliners in my 57 years and this is by far the best!" It seems to be extremely popular on TikTok too, with lots of beauty content creators sharing how creamy the formula is and how easy it is to apply. After watching the videos, I'm definitely convinced.

Cinnamon
"Cinnamon is a pretty mid-brown with a shimmery finish which I find really compliments my brown eyes," says Who What Wear UK beauty editor Eleanor Vousden. "The subtle bronze sparkle is really pretty and the depth of the pigment is deep enough to provide soft definition that looks pretty smudged out into a smokey eye or drawn around the lash line for more intensity."
Orchid
This is my favourite shade of the Victoria Beckham eyeliner. I pair it with a burgundy eyeshadow and it really makes my eyes pop. Not to mention it applies like a dream!
Cocoa
"Cocoa has become my holy grail everyday eyeliner," says Vousden. "The perfect shade of dark brown, this matte pencil is so versatile and can be used to add definition by tight-lining the lash line, or smudged out to create a soft diffused wing."
