According to allure.com, “To create Victoria's [natural look, makeup artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/we-belong-to-something-beautiful) Scott Andrew brushed [metallic beige shadow on her eyelids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), lined her eyes with black pencil, applied a creamy rosy blush on the apples of her cheeks, and blended a beige lipstick with a pink lip stain to make her lip color.” In the interview Beckham said, "I just make the best out of what I have. I'm not out-of-the-ordinary-looking at all. I'm incredibly ordinary." Allure has a photo gallery of assorted Beckham photos in which she discusses her [fashion choices and lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-victorias-secret) in each picture.
