Celebrity beauty brands are ten a penny these days – but which products are actually worth their salt? Since Victoria Beckham entered the game back in 2019 (or in 2016, if you recall her achingly chic limited-edition collab with industry heavyweight Estée Lauder), the fashion designer-cum-beauty mogul has certainly made a splash with her ultra-luxe approach.

Spanning face, lips, eyes and now skin – one of the brand's most recent ventures is a skincare line created in partnership with cult-adored Augustinus Bader – Victoria Beckham Beauty prides itself on delivering "high-performance beauty solutions" that are directly inspired by the products that VB felt were missing from her makeup bag.

Is your current Christmas wish list looking a little sparse? No fear, for these last-minute additions are guaranteed to make your inner beauty junkie feel utterly rapturous with pleasure.

Hello! Fashion's resident beauty obsessive Orin Carlin shares the Victoria Beckham Beauty products that you need in your life:

The glittery eyeliner

THE VERDICT 

"I consider an ultra-pigmented glittery eyeliner to be one of my festive makeup must-haves – and VB's version certainly doesn't disappoint. My personal eyeliner habits tend to verge into Claudia Winkleman territory – zero shade, she looks sublime – but I was pleasantly surprised to find that blending was effortless and that my generous application on both my upper and lower lash line survived my streaming eyes (thanks blustery gales).

"Better still, Victoria revealed earlier this month on Instagram how to achieve her 'holiday sexy eye' as she so eloquently dubbed it. VB swears by the shade 'Smoky Quartz', and even provided the most rock-solid testimony: 'David can't keep his hands off me!'

"Granted, I didn't manage to bag a footballer with my own sultry eye moment, but I did fall head over heels for the shade 'Sequin Green', an exquisite, sludgy khaki, with an almost buttery texture. I'm hooked."

The shimmery shadow pot

THE VERDICT 

"I'm rarely wedded to beauty rules, but since colour theory dictates that my earthy-blue eyes pair well with lustrous gold shades, I thought I'd give VB's single-pot sparkly eyeshadows a whirl. 'Starlight', a classic warm gold, is utterly gorgeous – pack some colour onto your ring finger and build directly onto your eyelid depending on your pigment preference – though 'Velvet', a cooler, dirtier gold, proved itself to be my handbag hero."

The velvety cream blush

Cheeky Posh Cream Blush Stick in 'Playground', £36, Victoria Beckham Beauty

THE VERDICT 

"Encased in the most luxurious, sleek packaging, the playfully named Cheeky Posh cream blush is a total winner. As an out-and-proud lazy girl, I am completely obsessed with multi-use lip-and-cheek products – I'll never travel without one. And while not primarily marketed as such, I am pleased to announce that VB's version in 'Playground', a flattering terracotta pink, has earned a rightful place in my makeup bag.

"Although slimmer than most of its counterparts – there's no pleasing Pritt Stick-like plumpness, for that you need Clinique's Chubby Stick or Nars' The Multiple – it is a truly excellent product. A healthy tint of colour across both my lips and cheeks is just what the doctor ordered this season to help me look slightly less corpse-like. Consider me forever indebted."

The luxe lip tint 

Bitten Lip Tint in 'Je T'aime', £32, Victoria Beckham Beauty

SHOP NOW

THE VERDICT 

"With bonus points awarded for dreamy, weighty packaging, Bitten Lip Tint contrastingly couldn't have felt more feather-light on my lips. Its handy tapered doe foot spongy applicator made it extremely easy to apply, and it has decent staying power. I adore 'Je T'aime' for a super forgiving raspberry-coloured wash."
