I have greasy eyelids — why? too many pizzas in my life? an unrepented sin from a past life? — so it is work to get eyeshadow to stick to my lids. For this reason, I’m an eyeliner girl. So I know what I want: deep color, ease of application, and longevity. I want all three, no compromises. Victoria Beckham eyeliner delivers.
Victoria Beckham Eyeliner Review: The Basics
This eyeliner is different. It glides on — glides! Like a glider, over a Swiss meadow, on the most beautiful day of the year.
And the colors — the colors! So dark, so deep, so wonderfully pigmented. I started with the Sequin Green. (Tell you the truth, I have no idea where that titular “green” is coming from, because it’s a really beautiful gold shade. I mean, I guess if I squint I can kind of see the green undertones? But I’m working really, really hard for it.)
They rotate in new colors all the time, and while I’m partial to old standbys like Sequin Green, Navy Noir, and Night Flash, I’m also extremely into the new-in-shop Silver Glaze. Without question, some of the colors are better pigmented than the others — Sequin Green got the job done, while Sea Gray and Gold Lamé took some build.
My favorites in order: Sequin Green; the beautiful, matte Fig; Bordeaux; and Navy Noir.
Victoria Beckham Eyeliners: How to Use
So obviously, with any commercial product, the trick is in the trade-offs: Maybe it glides right on, but it glides right off just as easily. Or maybe it’ll stay all day, but the product is user-unfriendly and hard to manipulate. These Victoria Beckham eyeliners are the rare product that manage to do both: They come on very easily, but after maybe 30 seconds or so, they’re pretty locked in.
Otherwise, they couldn’t be easier. Apply as you would apply any other eyeliner — along the lash line or the waterline. The dual-head pencil has a sponge tip for smudging opposite the pencil itself, which is useful if you don’t want sharp lines.
