• The portrait caught the attention of the Victoria Beckham Beauty brand's official account, which responded directly to the post
• The artwork also sparked a reaction from followers who pointed out just how expensive the materials used in the portrait might have been

A South African self-taught artist has gone viral after painting a stunning portrait of Victoria Beckham. He used nothing but Victoria Beckham Beauty cosmetics as his medium.

Ricollin Moodley, who goes by @ricollinart_official on Instagram, shared the artwork on 2 November, describing his creative process in his caption:

"I painted @victoriabeckham entirely with @victoriabeckhambeauty 💄✨ what do you think?"

Instead of traditional paint or pastels, Moodley's use of the brand's cosmetic products to bring the former Spice Girl's likeness to life on canvas turned heads. Victoria Beauty is positioned as a high-end luxury beauty brand, and Ricollin used lipsticks worth R950 each, according to Muse Beauty. He also revealed that he had painted David Beckham using the same range.
