Victoria Beckham's natural smoky eye lookVictoria Beckham is revealing one of her biggest beauty secrets!
While glammed up to attend an Inter Miami FC game on April 6, the Spice Girl-turned-fashion mogul, 49, filmed a step-by-step tutorial on how to recreate her signature smoky eye and — surprise! — it only requires one product.
The product which Beckham said is her “all-time favorite?” Victoria Beckham Beauty’s Satin Kajal Liner in the shade Cocoa.
In the tutorial, which she shared on Instagram, Beckham said she uses the liner every single day, because it is the ideal tool for achieving the “perfect” smoky eye look.
Step No. 1 for the fashion designer’s signature look is making sure you have the right sharpener for your liner, she explained.
“The formulas are so special, that you have to make sure that you use the correct pencil sharpener, so you can really get a sharp point on your Kajal eyeliner,” Beckham said. “This will enable you to get a really precise application.”
After sharpening, the next step is to draw on a “very fine line” across the upper lash line on both eyes, thickening it slightly as you move toward the ear. Beckham also added that sometimes she extends the line further to add a “little wing.”
"But today, I’m keeping it quite clean,” she noted.
The former Spice Girl said to “never rush this part of the process, because once this product dries, it is not going anywhere.”
After lining the upper lash line, Beckham drew lots of tiny dots under her lower lash line “between the lashes” — a tip that a makeup artist gave her “years ago,” the designer said.
“Because what it does is it gives the illusion that the lashes are closer together. And this just gives a very fresh, youthful look,” she explained while dotting the liner. “And this looks super natural as well.”

Victoria Beckham rocks a smoky eye in February 2024Next, Beckham put some of the product — “quite a lot” — on her hand and using a brush to apply, began to use the liner to “add definition” to the arch of her eyelid.
She goes “from the outside to the halfway point,” because it is most flattering for her eye shape, she said.

Finally, she finished the look by using the sponge at the end of the eyeliner to add the remaining product left on her hand “very lightly” below her eye. “Sometimes I even do this part with my finger,” the designer noted, “or a brush.”
“So you really can create a whole look with just one product,” Beckham said before revealing one more tidbit — what she does to take the look from day to night.
To make the smoky eye “more intense,” the designer said she takes the pencil itself to the inner part of her lower lash line as well, creating a much bolder line.
