Vogue: The Power Facialist Behind The Luminous Skin At Victoria Beckham’s AW20 Show

"Proving that prep and excellent products have more to do with a luminous glow than make-up itself does"

If there is one beauty look that Victoria Beckham fully subscribes to for her fashion shows, it’s beautiful, fresh skin and barely-there make-up. It was no different for her autumn/winter 2020 show on Sunday, where the models’ skin was, as the designer put it “healthy and hydrated with a really beautiful, natural glow.

[She] gave all of the [models] a facial before they had their make-up done, using the VB serum and Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer on top.”
