I was just wondering if there was a similar product available at the drug store. I love the Estee Lauder Idealist skin refinisher but the bottle I have cost $70! I can't affford it but I love the stuff. Clinique's version is expensive too, so I was hoping there was a cheaper version almost just as good. Anybody know of any?|||Boots No 7 makes an amazing Protect and Pperfect serum, I have just started using it, but it is cheap - approx $20 and they sell it at Target and CVS stores. I hear they keep selling out, so I bought two bottles. here is a link to the site, but the price is in pounds http://www.boots.com/brandtreatment/prod鈥?/a>
I've only been using it for a few days, but my skin feels better. There are lots of online reviews and it was sold out throughout North America, so I imagine it's not just hype.|||Have you try AVON products the prices are great and the quality is 100% guaranteed..
I use them all the time and I can tell you they are as good or better than the expensive stuff.

How to make purple smokey eyes with Estee Lauder products?
Hello, I mostly have Estee Lauder stuff. I have a few off brand stuff, but yeah. I'm kiiind of a beginner with makeup? Sort of, almost fifteen. So, please, nothing too difficult! Thanks!!|||First put on eye primer on top and bottom of your eyes. then take black and lightly put on eyes then take purple and put on top and bottom of eye then lightly rub in|||http://www.makeupgeek.com/tutorials/purp鈥?/a>|||Smokey eyes are very easy. Honestly, I don't really understand why so many young women think that it's some extremely difficult look to wear!
A smokey is basically this: a base shade applied to the entire lid, a shade darker than the base shade applied to the crease and outer corner, a dark shade of eyeliner on the upper (and lower is desired) lash line, and mascara. It can be done with any shade, any colour scheme, any depth of colours, etc. You can use as few or as many shades as you like. I generally prefer using 3+ colours for most of my looks, and I usually apply 2-3 colours in the crease and outer corner area for more depth. I'll sometimes apply more than one base colour as well.
Here's a step-by-step example, referencing Estee Lauder products (I'll make it quite simple and "toned-down"):
1) Apply a base to your lid. These are not essential, but they can help prolong the wear of the makeup and keep it truer to colour. I use Urban Decay Primer Potion, but you could use a cream shadow similar to your skin tone if your makeup doesn't tend to crease, or the primer offered by Estee Lauder.
2) Apply your base shade. If you'd like to go for a light smokey eyes, choose a shade like Pale Moon. Use your brush and gently pat it over the entire lid, up to your natural crease, and gently sweep the colour on the lid to blend it out evenly. If you'd like to go for a dark smokey eye, choose a shade like Plum Pop on the entire lid.
3) Apply your crease shade. If going for the light smokey eye, choose a shade like Mulberry. If choosing a dark smokey eye, pick a shade like Amethyst. To apply the shadow into the crease, choose a somewhat fluffy yet rounded brush to gently sweep the colour into your natural crease. I generally apply the crease colour to the last 2/3rds of my crease and leave the inner part clean. Apply the same shade to the outer half of your lid, keeping it connected to your crease colour.
4) Blend everything together. Blend the edges and blend your base and crease shade together so as to not have any obvious demarkation lines. I usually use a large fluffy brush - the more dense, the more likely it is to drag away too much colour while blending.
5) Apply liner. If you'd like a softer and smudged-out line, pick a pencil liner such as Plumwood or Plum Grey. Apply small strokes to the upper lash line as close to the roots as possible. If you want to have some thickness to it, add the thickness to the outer corner, leaving the inner part thin. You can apply it from the inner corner to the outer corner, or you can apply it on the last 2/3rds of the lash line (I generally do this myself). Smudge it out with a smudger brush or a small q-tip, making sure not to remove too much colour.
If you'd like a crisper line, choose either liquid or gel/cream. Most beginners find pencils are easier to use. I personally find that liquids and gels/creams are easier to apply to the upper lash line than pencils, and have since I first started wearing makeup. It's all personal preference. For liquids, just slowly draw a line. You can go in strokes if you'd like, and again, only add thickness to the outer part of the line.
The lower lash line can either be left alone or lined with the pencil liner used above, or even the shadow used in your crease. The important thing to remember here is balance - if your upper lash liner is thick, apply a thin line or no liner to the lower lash line. If you chose to apply a thin line or no liner to the upper lash line, you can apply a thick line of liner on the lower lash line (which I usually do). You can apply it from the inner to outer corner, or just part of the outer corner. Choose whatever you think suits your eye shape best. Make sure you smooth and blend the line out nicely.
6) Mascara. If you have a curler, curl your lashes before applying mascara. Apply whatever mascara you like, and you can apply it to both the top and bottom lashes if desired. I usually only apply mascara to the outer lower lashes and not to the inner lower lashes.
7) Highlight: Take a pearly white or off-white (whichever suits your skin tone best) and lightly apply it to the inner corner and outer corner of your eyes, as well as on the brow bone area.
Pretty easy! Here is a link that shows some examples of different types of smokey eyes:

As you can see, she doesn't always do a monochromatic scheme. So if you wanted, you could choose to use something such as a brown on the lid and a purple in the crease, and it would still be a smokey eye as long as the crease is darker than the base shade.
Hopefully this was easy enough to understand. If not, feel free to message me to ask any questions.

Does anyone know the actual questions i will be asked in a telephone interview with estee lauder?
Ive been out of work for a few month and really want a job, i have done some research on the estee lauder website but i don't know if i am looking in the right areas. Actual questions are much appreciated.|||they will probably ask you if you have any experince in the cosmetic field and if you know alot about skin and makeup. i worked for estee lauder for a little bit but they change the questions every time they ask hehe sorry! good luck! (: hope you get the job!|||They will ask what you know about their products. Ask if you have any experience working with make up. They may ask if you have any experience working with customers if you have applied for a customer focused role. They may also ask why do you want the job with them. Hope this helps. Also just to add make sure you're confident on the phone speak clearly. Good Luck!
Is there any CHEAP foundation that makes your skin look how Estee Lauder does?
I LOVE Estee Lauder double wear foundation, and it looks fantastic on me, but it's just SO expensive. I want that flawless look, but the long lasting look.|||im the same but instead of buying the estee lauder and buying other cheap products i just, for my birthday, if anyone asks what i want then i say a voucher for debenhams, that's where i buy it, but you can just ask for a voucher for wherever you buy it:)
hope this helped:*|||i dont think you can get a foundation like that for cheap, but try using clinique, they have decently priced stuff.|||Well most Estee Lauder foundation is around the 30$ price range so Clinique has a very good foundtaion selection around 20$ and it improves your skin while wearing it! hope this helped!
Btw i use Clinique SuperBalanced makeup and its AMAZING it stays on all day and doesn't clog your pores!

Anyone know a estee lauder sugar honey dupe?
I love estee lauder's lipstick in sugar honey but it's pricey! I bought it and love it, and I was wondering if anyone knows a cheaper alternative that looks very similar to it? Thanks!|||Try looking on the websites for maybelline, cover girl, L'oreal, etc.
What is your opinion on Estee Lauder makeup?
Hello,
A makeup artist picked out some Estee Lauder concealer, blusher and nutritious foundation. I haven't opened any of them yet as I am shocked by the price - 拢66 for the three.
I have never paid this much for make up before and was wondering if it is worth the price.|||Well, ive not tried their foundation only a mascara, but in general i actually really hate top brand name stuff, its good by name but pretty poor quiality in general. They know they can charge alot as its the name your paying for mainly. The foundation i dont know though. I stick to cheaper ones, which actually do work, which i can mix myself with moisturisers and not have to worry about price. Some of the best makeup pieces ive ever picked up were like...for example a 99p khol eyeliner that isnt brand name, and also a mascara by Go. Eitherway, i wouldnt have paid that much XP but thats just me. xx|||It depends how much you like them, if the foundation makes your skin look amazing then it's worth paying for. The blusher will be well pigmented and blend easily and the concealer will be of high quality too.|||although its expensive it's usually worth it because its better for your skin and lasts much much longer : )

What do you think about Estee Lauder foundation?
I am thinking about using Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation. I have been using Almay but would like to upgrade. I have scars from acne when I was younger and need help covering. I am turning 29 in a couple of months and starting to get some lines also. Cheap foundations seem to not work anymore "SOB". Estee Lauder is expensive and want to know if it is worth it. Thanks in advance!|||Too expensive!!!! Try going to covergirl.com. They have a lot of how to, and live chat. I am an older lady who has used cover girl cosmetics for many years, and has found the live chat very useful.|||VERY good products. But also VERY over-priced.
If you're willing to pay the price, go for it!
P.S. Don't use Covergirl foundations. I got hideous rashes on my face from their foundation, and no other foundation has done that to my face.
Good luck!|||It's great in covering imperfections but it's a little tricky to blend it, and it broke me out unfortunately, but it's worth to try it out :) Good luck!
