Victoria Beckhem is Allure covergirl August 2008

Victoria Beckham is the August 2008 Allure Magazine covergirl.

With a new fragrance in the works, a burgeoning fashion line, and a soccer hunk for a husband, Victoria Beckham has plenty to smile about. And despite what you may have seen in the tabloids—she does smile. Get the exclusive scoop from her cover shoot with Michael Thompson in New York City here. For more photos and the story “Through the Looking Glass,” pick up the August issue of Allure, on newsstands now.

“As you can see, I’m a normal-looking girl, and I just make the best of what I have,”

sexy “Posh Spice” told Allure. “I’m not out-of-the-ordinary-looking at all – I’m incredibly ordinary.”

“I don’t have a stylist,…I deal with that side of things myself. If I need accessories, I’ll go get them myself.”

To create Victoria’s natural look, makeup artist Scott Andrew brushed metallic beige shadow on her eyelids, 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.
