Victoria Beckham’s mastery in the cosmetic industry is nothing short of surprising. It’s unexpected that someone of her status, whose life seems exclusive and lavish, could be capable of creating products that resonate with women and their skincare wants and needs. Her success in developing such products has proven that she is in line with what women desire on their bathroom shelves, and this trait of hers makes her keep hitting the nail on the head with every product she introduces.
In interacting with Victoria Beckham, it becomes apparent that her approach to product conception and design is unusual in its specificity and refinement. She has explicit expectations for what a product should and shouldn’t do and considers it deeply and thoroughly enough to produce outcomes resonating with many people. Her Contour Stylus exemplifies this approach. When she introduced it last year, no other contour stick came close in terms of thinness. Most were like 4XL crayons and didn’t meet normal people’s needs. The everyday person isn’t looking to heavily contour their nose or eye sockets like a Kardashian might. Instead, they want a slim, discreet contouring option to use with ease, making them look better, and that’s what the Contour Stylus is.
Victoria Beckham’s line of products is informed by such a principle. Does the product work? Does it enhance the user’s look? Is it user-friendly? The answers to these questions guide her in the development of her line. Victoria Beckham Beauty’s products are indispensable for many, including myself, to a point where if given the choice of one brand’s makeup to use, it would be Victoria Beckham Beauty. Iconic luxury cosmetics brand Hourglass would only come second.
In 2019, Victoria Beckham collaborated with skincare expert Augustinus Bader after a facialist introduced her to his face cream. Now they work together on a skincare line that includes top-tier serums, moisturisers, and cleansers. As it stands, the celebrity aspect is no longer relevant. People don’t buy these products due to a past infatuation with Posh Spice; they buy them because they love the quality they deliver.
One of their recent releases is the Victoria Beckham by Augustinus Bader The Concealer Pen. This concealer stands out because it incorporates TFC8. TFC8 is Bader’s signature blend of natural amino acids, premium vitamins, and synthesised molecules, known for its effective results. This blend made Bader’s brand name synonymous with top-tier skincare, like the famous Crème de la Mer.
The idea to incorporate TFC8 in a concealer is brilliant since many women feel their under-eyes could benefit from extra support. This concealer delivers exactly that. It helps with depuffing, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and illuminating the eye area. The product boasts fantastic quality. Not heavy in texture, it applies smoothly and stays put. Most importantly, it immerses into the skin seamlessly, concealing any imperfections without emphasising pores or creases. Besides these qualities, it works in the background to enhance skin quality.
When you apply the product, it blends into your skin, giving a natural appearance while concealing anything you want concealed. Yes, it could be less pricey, but its quality makes it worth every penny. Victoria Beckham’s range of fragrances is also noteworthy and worth exploring.
Adding to the list of today’s favourites, ‘Cook’ by Romy Gill, my new favourite Indian cookbook, is filled with delicious recipes from all over the country. The beautifully designed book makes it an excellent gift. Every recipe tried thus far has been remarkably tasty.
