Backstage Beauty at Victoria Beckham Spring 2012

Backstage at Victoria Beckham, we find French girls crossed with androgynous, sporty types to compliment Mrs B's super rich collection. The hair and make-up is focused on one element each. Let's begin with the hair which is gelled into glossy panels secured by a silver Goodys hair clip - very Catherine Deneuve. The hair clips happen to be left over from the Alexander McQueen show last season - how recycle chic of VB!

Over in make-up, the team are focusing on creating strong, 'handsome' brows and illuminated skin. 'The forehead is the hair style, the panel is wide exposing the whole face,' Guido tells Grazia Daily. 'It's strong and bold, almost confrontational'.

Charlotte Tilbury mirrored the look by glossing the eyelids with Lancome Juicy Tubes in Pure over the top of a bronze base but the main event took place on the statement brows.

Victoria Stocks Up with 50 Bottles of Rodial Stretch MX Creams

The DailyMail is reporting this morning that Victoria Beckham has gotten her aides to splash out £3,000 on stretch mark removal cream shortly after the birth of baby Harper. Eight boxes containing 50 bottles of Rodial's Stretch MX - worth £2,950 - were delivered to Victoria and David's Beverly Hills mansion early this week.

The cream claims to make unsightly lines vanish within weeks and is also a favourite of Kate Hudson, Natalie Portman and Jessica Alba.


Yesterday a spokeswoman for the company said: 'We were happy to meet Victoria's requirements. Over 94% of women buying Stretch MX are using the product pre or post pregnancy - it is by far our best selling product for expecting mothers. The formulation has been clinically proven and scientifically designed to help women with stretch marks reducing the appearance within a very short time of usage.'

The lightweight gel is formulated with Regu-Stretch, which works to reduce the size of stretch marks whilst wheat protein helps to smooth and restructure the surface of the skin toning and revitalizing the overall look and texture. The multifruit acids promote younger looking skin by increasing cell renewal. Tripeptides stimulate cell growth and tissue repair, giving the skin a smooth and even texture. It is also said to help to reduce the formation of new stretch marks and exfoliate dead skin cells and boost cell renewal. Trials revealed it is scientifically proven when used twice daily for eight weeks. It costs approx $95 per bottle... you can purchase it here.

This may infact be accurate because not only has a spokesperson for the company commented about this story, but the photo above congratulating Victoria on baby Harper wsa posted on the company's main page. There is also a "Celebrity" feature for Victoria - seen here.

Victoria's Beauty Must Haves

During her interview with Allure magazine, Victoria let some of her exclusive beauty must haves out of the bag...

Skincare: "I take my makeup off with Johnson's baby wipes—they're always around because of the kids."

Makeup: "I never wear makeup, when I'm home, but when I do wear makeup, I really like Stila. The foundation is great, and the eye shadows. Wherever I go, I've always got my Lancôme Juicy Tubes. I wear Chanel Gardénia [fragrance], and Chanel has the best nail polishes."

Fitness: "I run four miles every day on the treadmill. I know what works for me, so I've kind of trained myself. I do light weights. I'm not very good at soccer."

Victoria Shares Beauty Tips with Tatler Magazine

Victoria may be opening doors with her fashion collections - but when it comes to beauty, Mrs Beckham is often a closed book. So what does one of the world's most photographed women apply before facing the paparazzi? Victoria Beckham opened her little black book of beauty secrets for Tatler magazine.

Here are some of Victoria's hair, skin and make-up must-haves:

Hair hero: I love leave-in conditioner - Frédéric Fekkai's is one of the best.

Miracle moisturiser: Dr Lancer is the best dermatologist in Beverly Hills. I use his Repair AM/PM Nourishment and I also go to his clinic for oxygen facials.

Workout that works: Running every day.

Lipstick: Stila's Lip Polish in Gleam is an old favourite and recently I've been trying Burberry's Lip Glow in Nutmeg, which is a pretty, neutral pink. If I could design a beauty product, it would be the perfect nude lip gloss.

Nail polish: I like Chanel, as it always does forward-thinking colours.

Body treat: I try to keep it simple with Nivea Body Lotion and I love a Thai massage.

Secret obsession: To stay hydrated I drink lots of coconut water. - I do this too :) (and it's also a secret of Demi Moore's)

You can read the full interview with Victoria in the January 2011 issue of Tatler out Thursday December 2nd!

Victoria Beckham is Over Fake Tanning

After admitting that she has previously experimented with giving herself a bronzed glow, Victoria Beckham has now realized it is not a good look for her (think the Costume Gala photo above).

She said, “I don’t wear fake tan anymore. Sometimes I’ve been turned orange but that’s definitely a look from my past. Being overly tanned is very ageing and, dare I say it, a bit footballer’s wife. I’m a little tanned from being in Los Angeles but I don’t use self-tan. Embrace your natural color!”

Even though she won't be using fake tanning products anymore, Victoria has a lot of other beauty products she uses regularly and she admits one of the reasons she joined twitter was to share her tips with her fans.

She said, “I love sharing my favourite beauty finds, I’m not one to keep beauty secrets. I love Chanel, Stila and Armani. I’m obsessed with the new Burberry Lip Gloss Nos. 9 and 10. I tweeted about it – everyone has to get one.”
