Marta Walsh Meets Evelyn Lauder

During New York Fashion Week in September 2009 I had one in a lifetime opportunity to be invited to the Estée Lauder Companies offices in New York City. For a beauty lover such as myself it was a dream come true. I even met Evelyn Lauder and was completely mesmerized by her charm, beauty and elegance. Did you know that Evelyn established The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and formalized the pink ribbon as a symbol for breast cancer awareness. Her passion for the cause seemed contagious when hearing Evelyn talk about it that day. Fascinating. Here are some of the photos I took to give you a sneak peek to an office of a legendary cosmetics brand.

“I wanted to create the iconic French makeup look; the black smokey eye, dewy skin and kissable lip.”-Tom Pecheux, Creative Makeup Director, Estée Lauder

In November 2009, Estée Lauder named world-renowned makeup artist Tom Pecheux Creative Makeup Director. His first challenge: to create a beauty concept that links iconic French beauty with an iconic American beauty brand.

“As a makeup artist, I am known for making women look beautiful, sensual and sexy,” said Pecheux. “When given the challenge to create a collection exclusively for Paris, I thought it would be perfect to create a nighttime look, because this is when every French woman wants to look her most beautiful. I wanted to translate the seductiveness and femininity of French women into makeup.”
