Since the moment that it was announced, the collaboration between Victoria Beckham and Estée Lauder the expectation was increasing. The collection, consisting of 15 products, will arrive in Spain next October 1st, and it is already available in the United States and in the United Kingdom since September 13th.
“I feel that this is the perfect collaboration of makeup for me and for my brand. I have always admired Estée Lauder as a woman and the powerful brand she created, so I am excited to offer our customers this makeup line and participating in her women’s vision”, Victoria Beckham said to mark the launch.
This is a limited edition, the international website of Estée Lauder has even enabled a record to notify interested parties when the products will be available for sale.
“I have been collecting makeup for many years and I am always mixing colors to get what I want. With this collection I believe I’ve created all the pieces that you really need in your make up bag. As a woman who likes to wear make-up, this is exactly what I want. Now I’m happy to share it with women everywhere”, Victoria added.
“The entire process has been both inspiring and revealing, since go back and revisit the Estée Lauder archive to work on the product with the team”, Victoria declared. She has chosen a case of the brand from the ’50s and put it in her signature blonde gold.
A sexy luminous skin, intensely delineated eyes, nude lips, wet finishes, liquid metals and silver glitter are some of the features of this collection that is divided into four different looks based on her favourite cities: London, Los Angeles, New York and Paris. “When I am in different places, I tend to change my clothes and makeup. I’m from London, I love LA (I live there), I have offices and show my designs in New York and Paris, well, Paris is fashion!”, she said. The products of each of them have been selected feeling the spirit of each city they are inspired by.
London is daring, messy and imperfect. It is “rock and roll”.
Paris is “modern and effortlessly” with clear and bright colours.
New York is brilliant and vibrant, it dares with colour.
Los Angeles is fresh and young. The wet and tanned look take us directly to its streets.

Let’s see in more detail some of the products of this makeup collection:
Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Morning Aura Illuminating Creme (PVP 85€): this is an illuminating cream that can be used both under the cream foundation and on it or even mixing it. Apart from the luminous effect that gives to the skin it is also moisturizing and applied before the base works as primer. Rejuvenates, it brings freshness and also prevents dehydration. Undoubtedly, the star of the collection.
Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Highlighter in “Modern Mercury” tone (PVP 56€): the brightness is very important in the makeup routine of the designer. She loves the glow effect. So to get an even juicier skin she has included another illuminator, this time in powder form, but not a usual one. The fans of the brand will recognize the name as it is a discontinued product that Victoria wanted to bring back to life.
Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Bronzer in “Java Sun” tone (PVP 65€): continuing with the healthy skin effect and to give dimensionality to the face, the collection includes a bronzing powder, this time matte. After the boom of last year contouring both enlightening and bronzer have become a must have for any collection. Although this is not the most appropriate tone for this technique, some opinions suggest a tone darker depending on the skin and a little orange-coloured.
Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Eye Gel-Cream Ink in “Back Myrrh” tone: a good black eyeliner never gets old. In the makeup of the designer is never missing. This time we found a cream gel eyeliner in intense black.
Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Eye Palette: this beautiful palette consists of six colours, including blue, green, three shades of brown and black. Specifically the shades are “Black Nutmeg”, “Grey Amber”, “Fired Sapphire”, “Blond Cumin”, “Metal Saffron” and “Burnished Sage”. Incredibly versatile, it can be used both for a neutral daily look with toast and black shades and for a more striking look, perhaps for the night.
Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Eye Metals Eyeshadow: we find several shades in these individual tones, including “Charred Emerald” and “Bitter Clove”. They are metallized shades, as Victoria said they contain “the right amount of glitter.”
Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Lip Pencil: A matte lipstick in nude tone, her lip colour par excellence.
Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Lipstick: this time in two tones, the “Brazilian Nude” (again, matching the pencil from the same collection) and the “Chilean Sunset “(a vivid coral red).
Estée Lauder Victoria Beckham Lip Gloss in “Moroccan Heat” tone: again, a nude tone but this time in gloss format.
Many people will miss a cream foundation in the collection, but not including it has been a wise decision. Space restrictions of a limited edition, yet quite complete, make impossible to have a variety of shades of the appropriate base.
In addition to purchasing each product separately, you are given the opportunity to buy eight of the products in the collection presented in a box with a useful removable mirror.

Victoria Beckham has become one of the most acclaimed designers of fashion both for the industry and the celebrities who wear her designs. So it is not surprising that Estée Lauder has chosen her to do a collaboration.
“I want to make women feel empowered, to feel sexy and confident. This makeup collection does that. I love to make women feel like the best version of themselves”, Victoria said.
Victoria Beckham for Estée Lauder
As a busy woman, Victoria knows the importance of saving time. That is why in each of the proposed looks there is no more than 4 or 5 products to create a full makeup. She has posted a video on Instagram of her makeup routine in just 5 Minutes! and using her line for Estée Lauder.

Great lover of beauty and cosmetics, for her it is “a dreamy collaboration”. And, although it is not her first foray into this world, she already launched a collection of nail polish with Nails Inc, it is her first makeup collection. Expectations are very high with the union of these symbols of elegance in fashion and beauty. It is expected that the talent that Victoria has shown as a designer, will be also reflected in this collection of Estée Lauder.
