Victoria Beckham’s Estée Lauder Collection Is About to Double This Fall

Does everything Victoria Beckham touch turn to gold? That’s a rhetorical question. Since Posh Spice turned herself into one of the chicest designers of the 21st century, everything she touches — from her eponymous ready-to-wear line to her wallet-friendly capsule collection with Target — becomes a damn style gold mine. But nothing has set social media and the hearts of style-lovers on fire quite like the alchemy of her sold-out makeup collection with Estée Lauder, which is reportedly about to double in size this fall. Praise be.
Last September, the posh designer (couldn’t help it) teamed up with classic cosmetic purveyor Estée Lauder to release a limited-edition 14-piece collection full of smoky shadows, shimmery lipsticks and impeccably chic black-and-gold packaging. It sold out it a snap. Following the overwhelming response, the designer released a second wave this spring, refreshing the products with new shades and solidifying her status as a beauty mogul. "I think there are some beauty ‘looks’ that people associate with me — a smoky eye, a pale lip — so it was important that we spent time fine-tuning until we had an authentic-feeling product," she told British Vogue at the time. That collection, too, flew off shelves.
Given the stellar success, it’s no surprise that Victoria Beckham is back again with her third collection, which will reportedly be double the size. According to WWD, Estée Lauder made a “sizeable investment in the range,” meaning we can look forward to 28 new products dropping in September.
Here’s what’s in store: The new collection will keep 10 hero products from the first two capsules and add 18 brand new ones, including two kits. The first two runs have been roughly organized into looks inspired by four cities — New York, London, Paris, and L.A. — and the fall run will add a fifth: Miami. Beckham is bringing the heat with a Cheek Crème in Blond Mink, Eye Matte Duo in Bleu Électrique/Nude, Eye Kajal Duo eyeliner in Saphir/Vanill, and Matte Lipstick in Burnished Rose. You can also expect a new “Signature” look including a fire Skin Perfecting Powder, Aura Gloss in Honey, and Eye Ink Mascara in Backseat.
Considering the price tags on her namesake label, the Estée Lauder collection is surprisingly affordable with prices ranging from $34 for an eye pencil to $95 for the cultish Morning Aura Illuminating Crème. But in true Beckham style, there are two splurges included in the collection: The Victoria Beckham Lit Beauty Box, a $1,500 light box that comes with eight products; and Victoria Beckham Collection Trousse de Maquillage, a $700 black leather makeup bag that comes with six products.
But there’s more news. At a preview for the new line, Beckham announced she’s working on skincare with the brand. “This collection is significantly bigger…[but] there is so much that I still want to do. I haven’t touched on foundation or eyebrows. There were things we wanted to get into this collection but we wanted to get it right,” she told WWD. In other words, Beckham is about to bring her brand of alchemy straight to your skin.
The brand notes this wave of the collaboration will be easier to get your hands on than ever — Lauder will be making three times the product for the limited-edition line. Given Beckham's gold status, we wouldn’t be surprised if it still sold out. So, once the new collection drops on September 1, move fast.
