Victoria Beckham Beauty Review: I Found the 9 Best Products
I might be Marie Claire’s Fashion E-Commerce Editor, but I have a healthy obsession with buying new beauty launches. Sue me! It’s fun to test a new product or two. Since so many of my recent additions hail from luxury brand Victoria Beckham Beauty, I gave the entire line a try—and I definitely have my favorites.
Any longtime Spice Girls fan will tell you that a beauty brand from Victoria Beckham was always in the cards. Her very “posh”—excuse the pun—label has been living in my mind (and my beauty counter) rent-free since it launched in 2019. It boasts a skincare range made in tandem with Augustinus Bader, a collection of chic-as-hell makeup, and a few luxe perfumes that smell just as rich as you would expect Beckham’s lavish travels to smell. But after a few weeks of trial and error, I narrowed down the selection to a few pieces that I would buy over and over again.
My favorites include the lengthening mascara, a red lipstick that’s changing my mind about red lipstick, and a waterline-proof eyeliner that looks equal parts rock and roll star and elegant Upper East Side mom, depending on how you wear it. There’s also a lightweight concealer that’s already got team Marie Claire‘s tried-and-tested stamp of approval.
Keep scrolling to see my top nine best finds from Victoria Beckham Beauty. Apologies in advance to your credit card (it’s all very, very worth it.)
Victoria Beckham Beauty
Satin Kajal Liner
This waterline-friendly eyeliner is top-notch. It comes in 20 shades, including a range of matte and sparkly finishes. The texture is beyond creamy, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not long-lasting. Whether you rim your waterline with it or keep it on your upper or lower lashline, the pigment manages to blend beautifully before drying down and staying put.
Number of Shades: 20
What I Love: Long-lasting; Comes in three finishes; creamy; Doesn’t irritate my eyes; Ophthalmologist- and dermatologist-tested; Waterproof; Blendable
What I Don’t: Can be hard to remove
Review for MC: “I had a feeling that I would love this eyeliner, and I was right. I tested the shade “Night Flash” in my upper and lower waterline and found that it gave me a smudgy, rockstar-type color. I also tried the sold-out shade “Jeans” and the matte brown option, “Cocoa,” and found that they all wore so well. If you buy one product from the line to test for yourself, make it this one.”

The Concealer Pen With TFC8®
When Marie Claire editors tested Victoria Beckham Beauty’s concealer pen, we became instantly obsessed—but it’s since become a go-to in my routine. It’s the concealer I keep in my handbag for when I need to touch up my makeup on the go. The consistency is lightweight, and the coverage is on the lighter side. Think of it as the perfect your-skin-but-better type of product rather than a full-beat level of coverage.
Number of Shades: 16
What I Love: The click-pen design is easy to apply; Blendable formula; Lightweight coverage; Glowy finish; oks natural on the skin
What I Don’t: Not particularly long-lasting, but easy to reapply
Review for MC: “This is the concealer I keep in my purse when I’m going into the office and I have another pen in my desk drawer in case I forget it at home. While it’s not the most high-coverage concealer on my roster, it provides the type of coverage fakes perfect skin. It also layers beautifully whenever I need to reapply and doesn’t cling to dry patches or break up after a few hours.”

Lid Lustre in “Mink”
This was one of the first products I ever tried from Victoria Beckham’s range. I’m not great at applying makeup, much less a smoky eye, but this one product makes it easy. It gives me the kind of lived-in look I had only ever seen on my Pinterest boards. The shimmer can sometimes leave some fallout, so I apply it before I finish my concealer for the best effect. However, that’s not a deal breaker to me.
Number of Shades: 9
What I Love: Long-lasting; Easy to blend; Can be built up or sheered out
What I Don’t: The looser texture can cause fallout
Review for MC: “This was the first product I tried from Victoria Beckham’s range, and it remains one of my favorites to this day. The shade Mink is a cool-toned taupe shade with silver flecks and a touch of pearl. I can apply it thick for a high-impact look or blend it for a blown-out smokey look that feels cool and glamorous all at once.”

Matte Bronzing Brick in “02 Soleil and Honey”
This powder bronzer is one of my favorites from the line because it’s easy to apply and leaves me looking fresh with a vacation glow, without having to book a flight to Miami. The powder doesn’t cling to my dryer patches; instead, it blurs out my skin and photographs beautifully.
Number of Shades: 5
What I Love: Blendable, highly pigmented; Not too orange or ashy on my skin tone; The dual-shade compact makes it more versatile; Long-lasting
What I Don’t: The formula can be so pigmented that I needed to use a lighter hand
Review for MC: I’m normally a liquid or cream bronzer girl, but this powder one is slowly changing my mind. The dual-shade compact makes for a versatile choice to keep in my bag. The lighter shade is perfect for blending across my cheeks and nose for a day-to-day bronzed look, and I like to sweep the darker shade along the perimeter of my face and across my eyelids for an easy night-out look. I didn’t find the formula to be patchy and my mom actually asked if I’d gotten a tan when she saw me on the day I tested this, so I’d call it a success.”

Posh Lipstick in “Pop”
I’m not a lipstick wearer, but this hydrating formula is slowly changing my mind. I tested a few neutral shades, but this bright shade is my pick. The bullet is pint-sized, making it easy to slip into my back pocket and go, but it also doubles as a type of lip liner. I wear it most often when I blot the pigment to leave a stain-like finish.
Number of Shades: 13
What I Love: Long-lasting; Hydrating; Highly-pigmented; Easy to sheer out; Doesn’t leave my lips feeling chalky at the end of the day; The slim bullet helps it to act like a liner
What I Don’t: The emollient texture tends to fade
Review for MC: “Like I said earlier, red lipstick is normally a no-go for me. They’re normally dry and patchy or make me feel like I’m doing too much, but this tube is changing my mind. It’s the kind of cool-girl red that I can either pat across my lips for a stained look or wear full-on for a more impactful look that somehow still feels cool? It’s a mystery. The shade sits somewhere between a pink and a red, so I know I’ll be able to style it all summer long.”

Reflect Highlighter Stick in “Pearl”
This next-level highlighter is the key to the wet-looking skin of my dreams. I attribute the success of this product to its size: The smaller bullet-shaped applicator makes it perfect to dot on top of my cheekbones, above my eyebrow, and on the tip of my nose. It comes in two shades—this pearl shade and a bronzier version—and both work for my skin.
Number of Shades: 2
What I Love: Blendable; Highly-pigmented; Shimmery-not-glittery; The smaller bullet gives you precise application
What I Don’t: The texture doesn’t quite dry down, which may be an issue for oilier skin types
Review for MC: “This is the easiest highlighting product I’ve ever used. A swipe on each of my cheekbones gives me the lived-in glow I’ve been dying to achieve. You don’t even really need to tap it in since it looks so skin-like. The result is not shimmery or glittery, but instead leaves me with a wet look that lasts. The texture is a bit tacky, but it’s not uncomfortable. It’s also convincingly natural-looking—like I’ve been sitting in the sun all day and now I’m left with a healthy glow. Plus, the pint-sized packaging makes for easy reapplication, and I found that it works just as well on my lids for an easy wet-looking eye.”

Future Lash Mascara
Meet your new favorite everyday mascara. It’s richly pigmented without looking too intense (I would love to test it in a brown shade if the brand ever chooses to launch that…Call me, V.B!). It somehow lasts for hours without sticking to my lashes when it’s time to remove it. My usual oil-based cleansing routine does the trick, and I never have any smudged fallout.
Number of Shades: 1
What I Love: Long-lasting; Easy to remove; Highly-pigmented; Doesn’t flake off; Doesn’t smudge; Looks natural
What I Don’t: Isn’t waterproof
Review for MC: “This is my new favorite everyday mascara. It’s the perfect one to wear when I’m running out the door but still want to look polished and awake. The color is extremely pigmented, doesn’t smudge, and doesn’t flake off by the end of the day. And as someone who usually prefers an ultra-voluminous, ultra-extreme mascara, the lengthening formula is changing my mind. When it comes time to remove it, this mascara comes off in little blobs—it sounds bad, but it might be the best removal process of any mascara I’ve ever tried. There’s no messy smudging or lingering bits the morning after, just easy, clean removal that comes off with your normal cleanser.”

Posh Gloss in “Tanline”
If you’re in the market for a new lip gloss, I recommend this one. The highly-pigmented formula comes in 10 shades, but the nude-toned “Tanline” shade is my favorite. The applicator is tiny enough to fill in the gaps in my lips and gives them an instantly plumper look.
Number of Shades: 10
What I Love: Not sticky; Highly-pigmented; Not glittery; Smooth texture
What I Don’t: The smaller brush means you have to use several swipes for full coverage
Review for MC: “I know what you’re saying: a lip gloss is just a lip gloss. But this one is somehow better. It’s not sticky, has a mirror-like shine, and feels smooth on the lips. The shade “Tanline” is the perfect mid-toned brown for my complexion, and I can see this being my go-to summer shade once I have a bit of color in my skin.”

Instant Brightening Waterline Pencil
White liners had a real moment in the mid-2010s, and this product makes me want to give the trend another run. It balances an eye-brightening white hue with a subtly pearly tint that leaves you actually looking awake.
Number of Shades: 1
What I Love: Easy to apply; Doesn’t irritate my eyes; Long-lasting; Looks natural on my skin tone
What I Don’t: Only comes in one shade
Review for MC: “We’ve already covered the best waterline eyeliners, but this brightening pencil took me by surprise. I come from the days of applying a stark white crayon to your waterline, which never actually made me look more awake and instead made me look like…I had white liner on. This pencil has a creamier white tone that looks closer to that of my actual skin, and has a very subtle pearliness to it that catches the light. The result is a natural-looking awake vibe that I can get behind.”
