Victoria Beckham's Makeup Tricks

How to do your makeup like Victoria Beckham

Although Dame Beckham claims to be down-to-earth about her beauty rituals in press interviews, we're suspect. It takes work to look perpetually polished and to keep up with a style-obsessed husband like David Beckham. Posh is an endless source of makeup inspiration, although her couture collection tends to overshadow her smoky eye shadow and pale lips on the red carpet. Get Victoria Beckham's look with these beauty tips or try it on in our virutal makeup & hair studio.

With makeup artists from London to Los Angeles (and a spray tanning guru who makes house calls), she manages to look chic at all times. Posh's makeup is understated, unlike her skyscraper heels and the extravagant karats on her lobes. The focus is on healthy-looking skin, nude lips and dark, sultry eye makeup.

Black liquid eyeliner can easily wind up looking like Amy Winehouse so try a more wearable grey or dark brown hue instead. Drag the line out at the corners to create a slightly winged shape, then smudge grey or brown shadow (depending upon which eyeliner you used) on top with a flathead eyeliner brush. For day, you can do Posh-inspired smoky eye makeup that's lighter simply by switching to pencil liner and skipping mascara. When all else fails, reach for oversized sunglasses to look like Posh as they tend to hide a multitude of flaws. --Stephanie Simons
