Backtrack 10 years, if you will, and think of the Spice Girls' heyday. Would you have pegged Posh as the one to become the most famous of the five? But here we are, and Victoria Beckham is the one who's becoming a global lifestyle brand.
In Japan, she has a makeup line called V-Sculpt. I first heard about it a few months ago, when Yum and I were obsessed with making the gesture that Victoria does at the end of this video.
Come get the V-Type!
But only now have I discovered why she's calling her line V-Sculpt. For the explanation, plus a gallery of the only-in-Japan goods,
"It’s called V-Sculpt," she explains. “In Japan, [some women] are very self-conscious. They don’t like that they feel they have round faces. So I came up with this concept of sculpting. Basically, it shows where to highlight and how to apply the makeup. It’s all about sculpting your face and getting that V.” She makes a V
with her index fingers. "That sculpt."
I don't think that Victoria exactly invented this technique, and I happen to think round faces are pretty! But considering the popularity of Posh, I have a feeling she'll make a fortune. Do you think V-Sculpt would fly elsewhere? (And are you similarly addicted to watching this video?)
Posh is so cool. Everyone seems to hate her, but she seems like a great person in interviews and such.
I'd love to try her make-up. It looks interesting.
love her...love the accent...love the idea...come get the v-sculpt...i wish i could!!!
i think she is hysterical when interviewed and always fairly realistic--she has the best quotes. i think it was that same article when she added that she sleeps in the nude and when the interviewer asked why she pointed out that she's sleeping next to david beckham, so why would she wear clothes...hysterical!
Who says there isn't life after the Spice Girls. At least she is learning to become business savvy the make up and now her cologne line. Very inovative !
Yeah... I'm not really gettin' what's so cute and funny about her. She is okay. I think she is pretty and dresses very well... sometimes. My mom wonders why so many people ♥ her.. she says that her nose looks piggy, and her style is crazy. lol. Kind of harsh but, oh well. I seriously think that Rihanna is influenced by her, I mean; the hair cut, style, makeup...? It's obvious.
Oh yay! People being nice about lovely, funny Posh! In England she gets such unnecessary crap thrown at her every day of her life. I adore her, she's very sweet, shy and savvy.
come get the v-type! come get the v-type! come get the v-type! come get the v-type! come get the v-type! come get the v-type! come get the v-type! come get the v-type!
aaaaaaaaaahhh i'm addicted! hahahaha
She's surprisingly funny, right? I never would have guessed that about her, but she's quick-witted and she seems able to poke fun at herself a bit.
Just so you all know, with the posting of this video, Yum and I have recruited more people in our V-Type Gesture Posse. Come get the V-Type! (Help, I can't stop.)
It just looks like it takes a lot of hard work to be her. The few times I have seen her in interview-type settings, I was surprised that I found her humor very appealing. Not my style musically or fashion-wise, but I sort of liked that personality.
