For the most part, a sequel never quite measures up to its first act. Be it with film, literature, music – its appendage often falls flat (Grease 2 – need we say more). This is not the case however, with Victoria Beckham’s second collection for Estée Lauder. The hotly anticipated new edition for the beauty stalwart is just as good as the first, in fact, better. Of course, the heroes – VB cape and all – have returned. Considering the sheer amazingness of the products to begin with (I honestly cannot live without the Morning Aura Illuminating Creme and Highlighter in Modern Mercury, also Victoria’s personal fave) it would be difficult for the sequential collection not to deliver. But, alongside her glamorous veterans, sit a whole new shiny cast – 18 to be exact.

Accompanying the ten hero products and 18 new products will be two new limited edition sets, with the exclusive Trousse de Maquillage Noir Makeup Kit, which includes six handpicked signature items housed in a black textured-leather pouch handcrafted in Italy, lined in signature Granito canvas and finished with a discreetly branded zip pull in Victoria’s signature blonde gold. Such products are keynote to Victoria’s own aesthetic, “My experience in front of the camera has taught me how the right light can create the perfect skin tone and texture, and give definition to bone structure. These signature products recreate that same effect for you. They are the starting point for every one of my City Looks and are all you need for fresh, glowing skin and beautifully defined features.” A collection which speaks the same modern, sophisticated language as her eponymous Ready-To-Wear label, Vitoria’s sentiments of empowerment are captured afresh.
“With this makeup collection, I want to make women everywhere feel empowered, beautiful and confident. Inspired by my favourite cities in the world, this collection reflects my own personal beauty vision.”
Again, the collection draws inspiration from Victoria’s favourite cities, with a heady and rather surprising addition, that of Miami. As her latest muse, Victoria explains why the city resonates with her: “Miami is a total escape for me. The mood is influenced by Latin music, sultry humidity and the city’s colourful Art Deco inspired architecture.” The steamy heat and vivid colour of the city’s seascape is reflected in the look; one of dewy flushed cheeks, molten bronzed skin and rays of liquid gold light. Miami’s cityscape has also come to beauty life, with the electric blue hues of its Art Deco architecture offering a cool contrast. An all-inclusive look for those with a predilection for good time.
For the ultimate beauty aficionado, this is one spectacularly posh offering. Mark your calendars.
