Frequently Aked Questions
Gold-Standard Glide: Victoria Beckham Beauty Satin Kajal Liner
Why we love it: Using a kajal liner is an eye-opening experience. If you want a pencil with an ultra-smooth—dare we say, satiny—glide, this is the type of pigment to use. Kajal also has maximalist color payoff, is resistant to smudging, and tends to be gentle on sensitive eyes. Whipped up with soothing, hydrating ingredients like chamomile extract and panthenol, Victoria Beckham’s Satin Kajal eyeliner comes in 21 shades, which range from Night Flash (black with a hint of silver shimmer) to Gold Lamé and Seafoam. Not only does the color palette allow for versatility, but the creamy kajal formula works just as well for architectural lines as it does for a sexy, smudgy look. (Bonus: The pencil comes with a built-in smudger on the other end. Just work quickly before the long-wearing liner sets.)
The pencil is a makeup artist’s fave, too, says Spickard. “I was at dinner last night with [makeup artist] Nam Vo, and we were both singing the praises of the VBB liners,” he says. “They’re so creamy and so pigmented. There are very few eyeliners of that caliber on the market today. Also, the shades are absolutely gorgeous.”
“I’m convinced this is the creamiest eyeliner on the planet. The shade Cinnamon—a rich, warm brown with just a hint of shimmer—also creates the quickest, easiest “I put some effort into my makeup today” look: Just throw some on at your waterline, then blend it out using the built-in smudger. It’ll last all day (or night), I promise.” —Kara McGrath, content director
- Key ingredients: chamomile extract, panthenol, vitamin E, mineral-based silica pearl
- Shade options: 21
Best for a French Kiss: Bitten Lip Tint
Why we love it: Available in five shades with irresistible French names—Poupette, Bisou, et cetera—Bitten Lip Tint hydrates the lips while dousing them in a flush of color. Made with mustard sprout extract to plump, squalane to hydrate, and sodium hyaluronate to fill in fine lines, the cushiony tint is transfer-resistant. Pro tip: Pat a few dots of the multitasking product onto your cheeks to make your cheeks just as kissable as your lips. And don’t be afraid to reapply your lip amid chic company—the tortoiseshell packaging makes quite the style statement, itself.
“The older I get, the more I prefer lip tints and stains over traditional lipstick—they’re more comfortable, they don’t smudge, and sometimes they even last longer. Victoria Beckham makes my favorite tint on the market because it ticks all those boxes. It gives a subtle boost of color that lasts for hours and feels like it’s hydrating my lips all the while.” —Nicola Dall’Asen, senior news editor
- Key ingredients: sodium hyaluronate, mustard sprout extract, squalane
- Shade options: 5
Mimic Michelangelo’s Touch: Contour Stylus
Why we love it: Another Best of Beauty winner, the Contour Stylus Precision Contour Stick makes it a cinch to get snatched. With a slim tip built for targeted application, the sculpting tool is practically foolproof, even if you don’t consider yourself an artiste. Swipe it along the nose, jawline, cheekbones, and just above the lips, and use your fingers to blend it in (it’s so creamy and smooth, you won’t even need a brush.) Like all the best Victoria Beckham beauty products, this one is made with plant-based ingredients including hydrating squalane, smoothing blue lotus wax, and linefill, which boosts facial volume. “I love the finer tip on this contour product as compared to others you see on the market,” Spickard says. “You get precision placement, which I usually achieve with a smaller brush, in the actual packaging itself. You can also use it on the eyes and get a natural eye contour or eyeshadow look with minimal effort.”
Tester feedback from commerce editor Sarah Han
“I’ve never met a more precise contour than this slim stick, which helps me not go overboard with product. Like the rest of VBB’s makeup pencils, Contour Stylus is very buttery and so easy to map out my lines—both sides of my forehead, nose, cheekbones, and jawline. I lightly tap everything in with a slanted brush (though my fingers work well in a pinch, too) and my face is sculpted in the most natural way possible.” —Sarah Han, commerce editor
- Key ingredients: squalane, linefill, blue lotus wax
- Shade options: 4
Eye Candy: Victoria Beckham Beauty Vast Lash Mascara
Why we love it: A Best of Beauty winner in the splurge category, the Vast Lash Mascara creates the long, full, fluttery lashes that other formulas fall short of. Made with lash-thickening Tahitian sea microalgae, strengthening niacinamide, and panthenol and tocopherol to condition the lashes, the product laughs in the face of anything that threatens to smudge it, including intense humidity. It might come as a pleasant surprise that it’s a breeze to wash off using only warm water.
“My eyes are super sensitive and can get really watery when they’re irritated, so I need a mascara that can withstand some impromptu teariness. Victoria Beckham’s Vast Lash Mascara truly does not smudge, so I know that once it dries, it’s with me through whatever allergies, strong wind, or bout of my-eyes-suddenly-hate-my-contacts-for-no-reason that the universe might throw at me that day. Be careful while applying—the formula is very inky at first—but once it’s set, this mascara is comfortable, dramatic, and doesn’t dare move.” —Sarah Hoffmann, commerce producer
- Key ingredients: Tahitian sea microalgae, niacinamide, panthenol, tocopherol
- Shade options: 1
Lush Getaway in a Bottle: 21:50 Rêverie Eau de Parfum
Why it’s worth it: A must-have for any gourmand fragrance lover—especially those who lean more spicy, less sweet—21:50 Rêverie puts a sultry spin on the category. Laced with notes of tobacco leaf, plum, cedarwood, and tonka bean, this is the kind of vanilla that’s best for a chic, candlelit dinner, rather than a spin through the cupcake shop. Inspired by the Beckhams’ trip to Java (an island in the Indonesian archipelago) in 2001, 21:50 Rêverie is sexy, dreamlike, energizing, and serene all at once. Do we smell a new scent you and your partner can share? Time to put your noses to the test.
Tester feedback from senior director of creative development Natalie Campbell
“With fragrance, I normally lean more floral, and what I love about this scent is it hits multiple categories at once. It’s musky, a tad sweet, and earthy while not being overbearing. It’s a very complex scent, and I enjoy how it wears on the body over the day. It’s both rich and sweet and I love the hints of tobacco.” —Natalie Campbell, senior director of creative development
- Scent family: gourmand, spicy
- Key notes: tobacco leaf, plum, cedarwood, and tonka bean
- Sizes: 1.69 oz, 3.38 oz.
Facial-Grade Glow: The Daily Cleansing Protocol
Why we love it: When it comes time to swipe off all that gorgeous Victoria Beckham makeup, give your skin the TLC it deserves with the brand’s Daily Cleansing Protocol. London-based aesthetician Melanie Grant helped develop the ultra-luxe double cleanse, which pairs a silky oil cleanser with a lactic acid gel cleanser. The two-step system leaves skin soft and cleaned, while the lactic acid acts as the fairy godmother of glow, as it gently exfoliates dull skin.
Tester feedback from executive beauty director Jenny Bailey
“I actually didn’t realize I needed a cleansing ‘protocol’ before I started using Victoria Beckham’s Daily Cleansing Protocol Duo. My face has never felt more pure, or silkier. A couple of pumps of the oil remove every speck of makeup (including mascara) before the lactic acid gel gently exfoliates. By the time I pat dry, I almost feel like I can skip the rest of my skin-care routine (but I swear I don’t!) My only note for the suggestion box involves the packaging: No one over 45 (presumably the dominant age group dropping $120 on their double-cleansing needs?) can read the tiny print on these two almost-identical bottles, so I’ve definitely mixed up the steps a couple of times.” —Jenny Bailey, executive beauty director
- The Daily Oil Cleanser: olive fruit oil, rice bran oil, fermented green tea seed oil
- The Daily Lactic Acid Gel Cleanser: lactic acid, rose damascena flower water, saccharide isomerate
- Fragrance-free: yes (for both!)
More Victoria Beckham Beauty products we love:
- Skip the microblading appointment and reach for the BabyBlade Eyebrow Pencil instead. The smudge-proof pencil has an ultra-fine, slanted tip that allows for maestro-level precision with filling in the brows. It’s also infused with antioxidant-packed ingredients that nourish the hair and skin, including camellia japonica oil for hydration and rosehip seed oil for moisture.
- With a buttery glide that’s a hallmark of Victoria Beckham Beauty, Lip Definer comes in seven shades designed to complement fair, medium, and deep lip tones. The formula doesn’t just go on smoothly; it also smooths the lips themselves. Infused with peptides, the contouring lip liner blurs fine lines and wrinkles, and it’s something of an under-the-radar gem. “These are beyond underrated!” Spickard says. “I have the full shade range of these liners in my kit and use them on all my clients. They’re pigmented but super blendable, just like the eyeliners, and help give you the perfect pout.”
- When a world-renowned regenerative-medicine expert helps develop a concealer, it’s safe to assume the product will cover dark circles and then some. Indeed, Victoria Beckham by Augustinus Bader The Concealer Pen with TFC8 goes beyond spot correction to improve the appearance of puffiness, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines around the eyes.

How we test and review products
When Allure tests a product, our editors look at it from every angle in an effort to best serve you. We review ingredients, scrutinize brand claims, and, when necessary, examine peer-reviewed scientific and medical studies. In addition to testing each and every product that’s included in each and every review, we rely on experts who shape their fields, including dermatology, cosmetic chemistry, and medicine, to help us vet the ingredients and formulas.
For our list of the best Victoria Beckham Beauty products, we considered each product’s performance across five primary categories: product ingredients and efficacy, packaging, fragrance, texture, and product wear. Every product was determined to have excelled in each category by our editorial team, which is composed of in-house writers and editors as well as contributors, along with special consideration from dermatologists.
