Victoria Beckham has battled "bad" skin "throughout her entire life"
The Victoria Beckham Beauty founder, 51, is launching her brand's first-ever foundation, The Foundation Drops, and explained it was important to come up with a lightweight formula that allows women to feel "confident" in their own skin, no matter the condition of their complexion

She told British Vogue: "I struggled with my skin throughout my entire life.
"When I say I used to have bad skin, there was a time when I couldn't put a pin between the acne on my face. I know how it feels not to feel confident because of your skin."
Recalling a time when she would cake on makeup, she continued: "I remember doing the school run when I was testing a different foundation and I felt so self-conscious that it was so heavy, I didn't want to look the other mums in the eye - I felt like I had a mask on. I want my foundation to give me confidence, to perfect my complexion, but I don't want to feel like I'm wearing a mask. That's a very old-fashioned look."
The former Spice Girl - who is married to retired soccer star David Beckham - says the "personal" product has been a "lifetime in the making".
She said: "I have struggled with my skin my whole life... and I know how it feels not to feel confident. That's why this product is so personal to me - I want other women to finally feel seen and understood."
Victoria added: "When I say it's been a lifetime in the making, I mean it. I've worn make-up since I was far too young because I was so self-conscious about my acne - and I've been searching ever since for something that actually makes skin look and feel better. This is it."
