Estee Lauder the uber-iconic beauty brand has for the first time taken on a Creative Director from the outside. French artist Tom Pecheux is recognized as one of the most successful Makeup Artists working today. In his new role as Estee Lauder’s Creative Makeup Director he is already breathing new life and energy into the brand.

The collection showcases rich, edgy violets, bronzes, dramatic black and navy blue shadows….and even nail color. Tom’s inspiration was, of course, French women: Cool, effortless style, sultry, organic sensuality….think illuminated bare skin, bronzed, smokey eyes…..Lauder also has 2 new spokesmodels, Constance Jablonski and Liu Wen.
I used to assist Tom when he would come into town to shoot with Mario Testino in Los Angeles and I can say that Tom is not only an incredibly talented artist, Tom is absolutely one of the sweetest men you will ever meet. Especially in the world of fashion and beauty where you can encounter some tremendous egos at every level. Tom is a worthy inspiration and well deserving of all the accolades. I couldn’t be more excited for Estee Lauder and thrilled for Tom.
