    And we're here for it

    Aside from fashion and music, Victoria Beckham has many other strings to her bow - most notably beauty and of course humour, with her hilarious Instagrams amusing her millions of fans on the regular.

    Luckily for everyone, she has combined both of them in her latest social media posts, uploading a video tutorial of her contour regime to mark her collaboration with Estee Lauder - and it's hilarious.

    It's hard to believe that it has been a whole year since two of the biggest names in the fashion and beauty worlds respectively first collaborated, but the second drop (available exclusively at Harrods) is here and we want it all.

    When it comes to the Victoria Beckham X Estee Lauder second collection, expect steely tones and shiny metallics - all inspired by the fashion mogul's favourite cities as well as VB's signature look.

    To showcase the exciting new collab, VB has taken to her Instagram to share the news with her 16.9 million followers, teasing them over the week in the run up to the launch.

    'The next in my Beauty Series is out tomorrow - I'll show you from start to finish my formula for perfect, glowing skin,' the 43-year-old explained, before posting the hilarious clip, captioned: 'The second of my beauty tutorials is here! Learn my formula for perfect skin including my happy contour for a sun kissed glow… The finishing touch? My #VBFlatTopVisor sunglasses.'

    The hilarious video shows VB in a monogrammed bath robe and towel talking through her steps for perfect contouring. Beginning the video with a hilarious clip of Victoria in bed in a foil mask and shades, the fashion designer explains her beauty regime from start to finish.

    'The starting point is a power foil mask, then my skin perfecting powder, then Saffron Sun bronzer,' Victoria explains before talking through how to apply the powder.

    'I'm contouring from the top and down through the lower part of the cheekbone,' she explained to her followers while demonstrating the action, announcing, 'I feel like I've been kissed by the sun'.

    'Then for Morning Aura moisturiser and primer - and I'll put it on the top part of my lips,' she explains before applying Aura Gloss, dubbed by VB 'the finishing touch for perfect kissable lips.'

    From her hilarious starting pose to her dropping her make up brush and swearing to camera, it's fair to say Victoria Beckham does beauty tutorials like no other.

    And we're desperate for more.
