I'm a beauty editor, which means I test products from hundreds—if not thousands—of beauty brands every year. While there's always variety in terms of price point and product selection, there's one specific brand category that's been coming across my desk (and inbox) for months. I'm talking about the celebrity beauty brand. While celebs used to stop at perfume in the early aughts, they've evolved to launch full-fledged brands that encompass multiple product SKUs. Here's the thing, though—only a few of them are exceptional (in my opinion at least). I'm talking about brands like Fenty Beauty, which was launched by Rihanna, Rare Beauty, which was launched by Selena Gomez, and Victoria Beckham Beauty, which was launched by (you guessed it) Posh Spice.
I mean it when I say I genuinely think Victoria Beckham's makeup products are special, and I know a few of my fellow beauty editors would agree. With luxe tortoiseshell and gold packaging and highly pigmented and long-lasting formulas, her products have been a staple in my makeup routine for years. From a slim contour stick to a lash-densifying mascara, keep scrolling to see the best Victoria Beckham Beauty makeup products.
The Look
My go-to daily makeup look is pretty simple. My goal is to have a fresh-faced complexion, pairing it with some eyeliner for definition and some mascara for long, fluttery lashes. If I'm feeling like it, I'll add a neutral-colored lip product.
The Products
Let's take a look at each of the seven Victoria Beckham Beauty products I used.
I always start with complexion products. The first one I reached for was this special Contour Stylus. Thanks to its slim, pen-like shape, it's easy to get really detailed with my contour placement. Sure, I scribble it under my cheekbones, but I also draw it down the sides of my nose, around my cupid's bow, and along my jawbone. It creates the most precise, natural-looking effect, and the formula is creamy and blendable—never dry, stiff, or too orange-looking. I love it so much, that I'll even use it in place of eye shadow to define my eyes.
Listen, I'm a girl who lives in the Midwest, and right now, I'm extremely pale. Some bronzer was necessary. I used this powder formula that contains two shades in one. I usually just swirl my brush in the middle to pick up a little from both sides and blend it into my temples, cheekbones, and jawline. The silky powder provides a buildable and believable warmth to the skin.
I only recently tried this highlighter, and when I tell you it was love at first sight, I'm not kidding. Not only does it feel so heavy and luxurious in my hand thanks to expensive-looking gold packaging, but the actual highlighter itself is a work of art. It has incredibly finely-milled shimmer in it that makes it look so natural on the skin. Trust me, this isn't your over-the-top 2016 highlighter—this is elevated, sophisticated, and dare I say, posh (sorry, I had to).

After my complexion products were applied, I moved on to eye makeup. I started with a base of a neutral brown color (called Pecan) to define the crease and the outer edges. Like any good eye pencil, this one is pigmented, creamy, and exceptionally easy to blend. There are so many good shades, too. Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on Macaron, which is a bright pink shade, and Sunflower, which is a chic yellow shade.
Leave it to Posh Spice to convince me that navy blue eyeliner is *it* for 2024. There's just something about it that feels fresh and unexpected compared to traditional black or brown. Plus, it makes my blue-green eyes pop.
Along with the Contour Stylus, the Satin Kajal Eyeliners are a top contender for my favorite Victoria Beckham Beauty product. They're so creamy and blendable, and the shades are irresistible. This is just one of 12 shades. I also love Surfside, a bright blue, Olive, a dark green, and Cinnamon, a shimmering bronze brown.
The cherry on top of this eye look was this mascara. With a fanned-out brush and volumizing formula, it glides through the lashes to deliver inky-black definition and density. Unlike other volumizing mascaras that I've tried, it doesn't leave my lashes looking too heavy or clumpy—just fluttery and defined.
This lip tint feels lightweight and cooling. In fact, it almost feels gel-like when you apply it. Think of a lip serum rather than a traditional cream lipstick. And it's basically a lip serum, too, thanks to skin-benefitting ingredients like mustard sprout, hyaluronic acid, and squalane.
After a minute or two, it dries down to a matte, semi-translucent finish. It's so flattering and natural-looking (are you sensing a theme here?). It's also so comfortable. Even though I have naturally dry lips that tend to feel dry, tight, or stick when wearing traditional lipsticks, I'm able to wear this one for hours.
The final step was to apply a little bit of lip gloss for added shine. I'm a clear lip gloss girlie, but VB provides eight tinted shades as well. If it weren't for this clear shade, called Ice, I'd reach for the neutral-toned pink shade, called Bikini.
As for the formula, it's not sticky at all. In fact, it feels hydrating and cushiony on the lips. That's probably thanks to ingredients like conditioning black currant oil and vitamin E, plant-derived lipids, and antioxidant-rich aloe butter. Yep, it's official. This has officially cracked into my list of top 10 favorite lip glosses, and that's saying something.
5 More Victoria Beckham Beauty Products I Love
Interestingly enough, these shimmering eye pots were inspired by crystals, which VB apparently surrounds herself with for healing and protective powers. As such, each one is infused with a different stone to amplify your aura.
That aside, these pearlescent pigments are so flattering and eye-catching. They wink in the light and provide bold and buildable color that has a high-shine finish.
Like the Matte Bronzing Brick, this aesthetically pleasing eye shadow palette contains multiple shades that you can use alone or wear together. The powder is silky and blendable, the pigment is bold, and the colors are expertly paired for a foolproof look.
I also love this mascara, and I know at least three other beauty editors who would agree. It has a high-tech formula that uses plant-derived polymers to create a flexible, fanned-out, extension-like lash look. It doesn't flake. It doesn't smudge. It even cares for lashes with shea butter, niacinamide, and pro-vitamin B5. And want to know my favorite aspect? It breaks down instantly with water, so it's easy to remove without gloopy cleansing balms or oils.
This lipstick comes in a variety of on-point shades that were each inspired by the '90s (AKA Posh Spice's peak era). They're infused with rose flower wax, rosehip, coconut, avocado, and pomegrante-jojoba complex for the most moisturizing and comfortable wear possible.
Another VB product that I've had in my makeup bag for years, this lip pencil competes with Charlotte Tilbury's Lip Cheat Lip Liners ($25) for most natural-looking, lip-plumping results. The shade 01, which is a pinky-beige, has been my go-to for years. Every time I use it, people tell me my lips look amazing and then proceed to ask me what my lip combo is. Enough said.
