admired watching
Growing up in New York, I loved watching my grandmother Estee put on her make-up - I always admired her sense of style.
positive good-life mean
I love laugh lines. It means you've had a good life.
interesting feelings scent
The effect of scent is really interesting. It can create a mood and change a feeling immediately. I wanted to create a modern wardrobe of fragrances ... fragrances that can be very personal to the woman who's wearing them.
use pot basics
In terms of pots and pans, I just use the basics - Im not a snob like that.
summer uncles children
I've always loved the beauty world. Ever since I was a child, I looked at magazines and wore fragrances and tried out samples and sets. I worked at Clinique in the creative department for a summer during high school. And when I graduated from university, I worked at Prescriptives. My uncle [Leonard Lauder, chairman emeritus of the Estée Lauder Companies] smartly had wanted me to go into a small brand - to figure out what part of the company I loved. I discovered I was passionate about the creative process, the product development, creating a concept around a fragrance or lipstick.
thinking people balance
I think talented people are priceless. And I think people that are knowledgeable and experienced - and I think there's a balance of new talent and experience, which makes, I think, Estee Lauder really special.
three pilates week
I love Pilates, I really do, and I do it three times a week because it works well for me.
nice passion pride
I have a lot of passion. I have a lot of pride. I think I do get that from my family. But you can be driven and be nice.
mom mother strong
My mom has always been kind of my backbone. She keeps me strong. She is a mother, a friend. She is really everything to me.
mom art children
Mom used to frame everything we made, and now I'm following her example. It makes children so proud to see their work on display instead of hidden away. I figure if I take my children's work seriously, maybe they will too. And it reinforces the idea that art is not something alien and esoteric. Anyone can make art.
passion home heritage
Beauty is my heritage, but home decor is very much my passion,
summer beach ideas
So the idea of being able to shop cross-category to buy the beach bag, the summer lip gloss, and the pillows for your pool house makes it into very focused, easy life.
people house sunglasses
People love buying into a lifestyle and an overall concept. So when they buy a shell-colored lip gloss, they can also buy shells for their house, as well as sunglasses and [items in] other categories [in that shade] to create one consistent image.
summer creative process
One summer I worked at Estée Lauder, and I really enjoyed the whole creative process.
