This interview was originally published in April 2025. Nicola Peltz Beckham—model, actress, and professional skincare enthusiast—wants you to take sunscreen application more seriously. We spoke with Peltz about a year ago—mainly about her skincare routine, but she also hinted to what her relationship was like with mother-in-law Victoria Beckham. Amidst all the current drama, it’s illuminating to see that Peltz seemed to be trying to make their relationship work.
Over Zoom, Peltz admitted to fangirling over her TikTok makeup videos. “I love watching her videos. Brooklyn makes fun of me because I sit at home on TikTok, and he’s like, how can you watch another person putting on makeup? But I really love watching girls put on makeup. I feel like I learn a lot and it’s therapeutic for me.” (Same, girl, same.)
“I believe in sunblock every day,” she tells StyleCaster as we switched over to the topic of her own skincare routine, crediting daily sunblock for her model mother’s eternal beauty. “My mom, honestly, she is so beautiful, and she looks so young. My whole life was like, sunblock, sunblock, sunblock.” Now that Peltz Beckham is 30, she says sunblock is her “non-negotiable” skincare essential. “Now that I’m an old person, I need all the help I can get,” she jokes.
So it makes sense that Peltz Beckham partnered up with Spanish skincare brand Isdin on their newest sunscreen launch, Fusion Water Magic ($38). In a market so deeply saturated with SPF formulas, Peltz Beckham raved about why Fusion Water Magic is her new GOAT pick (besides it providing her with unmatched skin protection). “It really works so beautifully under makeup. It’s not advertised as a primer, but I think it gives that like, finish—it just goes onto your skin really nicely,” she says. She adds, “Sometimes I mix it with my foundation and then just put it on for an easy day.”
Stand out ingredients: Mediterranean algae extract, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E
Best for: All skin types
This is a great SPF that hydrates skin, leaving it dewy and supple-feeling. Coverage is completely invisible, and the formula doesn’t encourage pilling, so whether you have a 12-step skincare routine or prefer high-coverage foundation (or both), you won’t experience any texture weirdness.
Aside from her flawless complexion, Peltz Beckham is known for her pout, and several StyleCaster editors wanted to know what her secret is to those iconic plump lips.
“Well, last week, I just got the lip stain, the white one that goes on blue. I really, really love it, because I’m just so amazed that it really stays on all the time.” She then goes in with a Makeup Forever lip liner, and “honestly, sometimes I will put like, a tiny bit of liquid concealer and mix it with a gloss. I’ll put it right in the middle of my lips; I like the way it looks.”
Makeup artists love this multi-use color pencil for its ultra-blendable formula that helps you achieve that did-they-just-get-lip-fillers look. Choose from 14 shades, ranging from nude to dark red.
We covered this TikTok-beloved and revolutionary lip stain awhile back, highlighting how easy it is to use. Apply it to lips, let it sit for 30 seconds, and then wipe off. It gives you a perfect pop of color that actually stays put. We love Peltz Beckham’s tips for adding concealer and gloss for a more high-shine look.
When asked which Victoria Beckham Beauty product she likes, she mentions the Satin Kajal Liner (one of my personal faves).
As someone who has been wearing eyeliner since the 7th grade, it’s weirdly hard to find a good pencil that doesn’t tug on eyelids—and one that actually stays in place all day. Victoria Beckham Beauty makes an absolutely superior eyeliner that applies so smoothly and beautifully, and doesn’t budge. Plus, the shade range is stunning. My favorites are Olive (forest green), Navy Noir (dark blue) and Night Flash (a jewel-y silver-black).
Another beauty pick that the TikTok girlies will recognize? Tarte’s Faux Freckle Stamp. “I’m really not good at it. I need to learn how to do it. But I think it’s, I don’t know. It just makes your makeup look so cute,” Peltz Beckham says.
