Obviously, Beckham wear tests everything. Shade House Red—a classic neutral pure red—is her go-to. In fact, she enjoyed a glass of wine or two to test out the formula’s longevity. “And contrary to what my mom’s friend said at finishing school, I challenge her. I think it should be embraced. Women should really take ownership of that moment and how empowering that is.” Alongside Beckham’s favorite, there is Coquelicot (a warm poppy), Heritage (a warm brick red), Velours (an earthy mahogany red), Pinot (wine-colored classic crimson), and Minuit (a deep wine)—varying shades for every taste, look, and skin tone.
For Beckham, a red lip is the ultimate makeup luxury; so, a luxurious formula needs a luxurious case to match. Each refillable case secures with a satisfying magnetic closure, and is polished with an alabaster finish. “We’ve been really obsessing over the all these little details,” she says.

“I only normally wear a red lip in an editorial setting, a setting that is quite controlled. I wanted a red that I could wear everyday with confidence and trust it would not let me down.” She’s spent decades wearing red lipsticks in front of cameras, but it can be tricky when there’s not a pro around to monitor. So, this formula is designed to ensure a stress-free wear. Her secret? Apply a bit of her brand’s Concealer Pen to the lips, swipe on the lipstick, then clean up the edges with a brush. “Then I’ll normally blot the lipstick with a little tissue, and reapply another fine layer,” she adds. “I’ve been desiring a red lip like this for longer than I can remember.”
