Estée Lauder shines at Paris Fashion Week

made its debut at Paris Fashion Week last week, sponsoring the beauty look at the Anthony Vaccarello Fall 2012 show. In addition to creating the burgundy-black eyes and contoured cheeks, the brand had global spokesmodel Joan Smalls walking the runway.

Estée Lauder creative make-up director Tom Pecheux oversaw the look worn by 30 models in the show, while manicurist Christina Conrad and her team ensured nails were buffed and polished with a new Pure Color Nail Lacquer.

Pecheux said Vaccarello’s sexy” collection inspired him to create a Paris by night” look, with a heavy focus on the eyes. For me, the eyes represent the Parisian woman, it’s her signature,” Pecheux said. The focus is on the eyes – black with a touch of burgundy and smudged, and a lot of mascara. I added a touch of gloss on the eyelid for an overall glamorous, imperfect, ‘lived-in’ look.”
