Victoria Beckham Beauty Launches Brushes
Victoria Beckham may just have come up with the most gotta-have-them cosmetic brushes in our living memory. These brushes are so special that they can satiate any of our previous and long-held desires.
Not only are these gorgeous (and vegan) makeup tools, but Mrs Beckham has managed to also turn them into sculptural objects in their own right. Seriously, we won’t want to be hiding these in jars in our bathroom or leave them to wallow, picking up lint, in the bottom of our makeup bag. These are so splendid that we're tempted to invite friends round to dinner and display them as if we just acquired our own Koons. They’re that enticing.
“I’ve always been drawn to beautiful objects that are as striking to look at as they are a joy to use,” confirms Mrs B. “I created each brush as its own sculptural work of art, engineered to match my specific personal makeup techniques and to feel like a natural extension of my hand.”
This means that the elegant carved walnut handles (topped with synthetic bristles) not only look great but are also ergonomically designed to rest in the hand so they can be best deployed to maximum effect. And it’s a concise edit of tools with the entire Brush Collection, inspired by the arts of calligraphy and painting, making its debut with nine brush heads designed to cover all of the essentials: Conceal & Detail, Buffer, Sculpt & Blend, Fan, Powder, Soft blend, Buff & Smudge, Define & Line, Detailed Lip.
Of course, we wouldn’t expect Beckham to play favourites with her own creations. “These brushes really give the precision and versatility I crave in my makeup routine,” she says of the range. But she does share some tips about a couple of them… “For my eyeliner, I love the Define & Line Brush because it was designed to be so precise. Every tiny detail was considered to give complete control, allowing for the sharpest, most intentional strokes. For the face, I reach for The Sculpt & Blend Brush a lot because it’s incredibly versatile. It’s perfect for sculpting, but I also use it on my eyes to give shape. It’s one of those brushes that does so much, which is something I that was really important to me for this collection – every brush has a real purpose.”
