Step-by-Step Victoria Beckham Lifting Eye Makeup

Victoria Beckham remains one of my greatest references for beauty and style. Not for nothing. At 52, the designer has managed to carve out an impeccable image where simplicity and discreet elegance are her best calling card. She has garments that have become icons, such as draped dresses or suits. And in the beauty realm, her eye makeup has become one of her defining features. However, don’t expect a complicated step-by-step. Quite the opposite. She is capable of achieving an eye-lift effect that lifts the gaze and that looks more awake, defined, and flattering.

One of her best-kept secrets hides behind the eyeliner. As she has mentioned in several interviews, Beckham avoids black, thick, and bold eyeliners, and opts to apply creamy brown tones along the lash line. Then blended for a smoky and soft finish, and voilà. The trick for the lifting effect is to concentrate the intensity on the outer part of the eye and direct the blending upward, as that creates the illusion of a higher, longer gaze.

Regarding shadows, warm browns are her best allies. According to her explanation in Woman & Home, they help create depth and dimension. Although the key for her is to work the product with upward movements and not overload the lid. Finally, she finishes with a neutral-colored pencil on the waterline so the eyes appear larger and more rested, and with lashes that are separated and lifted.

Bet you didn’t know? Imperfect eyebrows

Few people know that the Spice Girls’ Posh pays a lot of attention to her eyebrows. For her they frame her face, and as she told Vogue, she prefers them natural, with imperfect symmetry and natural. She combs them, but avoids that they look forced or overly filled. In this way, she achieves that her gaze looks lifted, avoiding hooded lids and turning back the clock several years.
