One British fashion designer’s name will soon be gracing your makeup counter as well as your closet: Victoria Beckham. That’s right, Posh Spice is coming out with a line of color cosmetics, made by Estée Lauder Cos.

The Victoria Beckham Estée Lauder collection will grace shelves in the U.S. and U.K on Sept. 13, though the products will be used at Beckham’s show at NYFW on the eleventh. This makeup capsule collection is a lifelong dream of Beckham’s, who has loved makeup since she was a child. The collection was built around Beckham’s style in four major cities: London, LA, New York, and Paris. She said,
“I do change my look—not just my fashion—depending on where I am in the world and how I’m dressing.”
And don’t be afraid that this will just be a cheap, celebrity endorsed product. Beckham personally tested each product until she was satisfied with the results. She said,
“It was really about not compromising…and creating pieces that I wanted to wear myself.”
Beckham has high standards for herself and her product, and wanted to create products that could empower women, as well as relay some of the makeup wisdom she’s gathered over her lifetime.
“I was very specific about what I wanted. It was about the must-have items that I felt everybody should have in their makeup bag, things that are really quite difficult to find because I know, I’ve searched.”

The fourteen piece collection includes a red matte lipstick with an orange base that Beckham said is “a bit younger, a bit fresher, more modern,” and eyeshadows that can be applied dry or wet, in colors ranging from shimmering nude, sparkling black, and emerald. Beckham’s goal was to create a collection that could be immediately associated with her.
“Whether it’s a smoky eye, a nude lip, or dewy skin. So I’ve been very honest, very true to myself. This has been something that I’ve wanted to do for so many years.”
Victoria Beckham, with her own motto of “[making] women feel like the best version of themselves,” emulates the Estée Lauder idea that “every woman can be beautiful.” Beckham’s chic, timeless look is inspiring, and her makeup line will surely be the same.
I'm an avid reader and love writing more than anything. My favorite authors include Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and J.K. Rowling. I love fashion, and though you'd never tell by looking at me, I'm a horror movie junkie. Painting is one of my talents, and my ultimate career goal is to be an author.
