Victoria Beckham Reveals the Trick Behind Her Signature Smoky Eye
The 43-year-old shared a full breakdown of her makeup routine.
Victoria Beckham's style has come a long way since her mini dress-wearing Spice Girls days. Still, there is one component of her Posh look that always stays true to her roots: No matter the occassion, Beckham's full glam always consists of glowing bronzed skin, a strong brow, a deep smoky eye, and a glossy nude lip. If you've been dying to copy the designer's signature look, she finally revealed every step in her beauty routine.
Beckham divulged all the beauty products to Into The Gloss (to the joy of skincare fanatics everywhere, she also spilled on her entire skincare regimen). Suprisingly, the look fairly simple to recreate. To achieve her contour, Beckham has a unique approach, that's contrary to the more popular method: "I have a trick for contouring, actually," she wrote. "I think a lot of people focus on the darker color to get that look. But it’s important to blend it in with a lighter color around the jawline, the nose, the center of the face, underneath the eyes, the top of the cheeks, and the forehead. And not with highlighter! Just with something lighter than the contour shade..."
She also shared the key product behind her classic smoky eye: "For the smoky eye, I start off with a veil of color and then I’ll build it up. Then I’ll use the [Victoria Beckham] Eye Kajal in Black Saffron, work it into my hand and use a brush or my finger for a more intense look," she wrote. Aha! Mystery solved.
Below, you'll find the rest of the luxe beauty products that lie within Beckham's makeup bag. They may be a bit pricey, but they're definitely worth the splurge, according to Beckham.
