“I’m a real girl’s girl”—this was the first thing Victoria Beckham told me at our interview in 2016, at the launch of her 14-piece, limited edition makeup collection for Estée Lauder. A self-confessed feminist, Beckham’s mission has always been about making women feel better about themselves. In her first act, she spread the message of girl power with iconic ’90s pop group Spice Girls (and sold a staggering 23 million copies of her debut album while at it). For her second, in 2008, she turned her attention to fashion, mastering flattering, svelte silhouettes for women, winning multiple British Fashion Awards and owning shelf space in the closets of celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Kate Winslet.
2016 saw her devotion to beauty come alive in a collaboration with Estée Lauder. From jewel-toned eyeshadows and creamy lipsticks to a megawatt highlighter—the matte black and blond gold collection remained perpetually sold out. When the second instalment released in 2017, women worldwide lapped it up in minutes—the Morning Aura Illuminating Crème has earned a permanent spot on my vanity and my glossy lids owe their sheen to her Aura Eye Gloss.
Now, the musician-turned-designer-turned-beauty-mogul is turning her attention to skincare, and possibly even a fragrance. “I am currently in the process of creating my own colour, my own line of skin-care creams, and a perfume,” Beckham said in a Facebook live session as reported by New Beauty. “As a woman, I want to make the things that I need in my life, the things that are missing.” Beckham didn’t say if the skincare line will be in collaboration with an existing beauty brand or a standalone venture, nor did she divulge any further details. But if her first foray into beauty—and her gorgeous, glow giving hydrator Morning Aura—is anything to go by, we are sure it will be as posh as the lady herself.
We’re calling first dibs on this one.
