Estée Lauder's 5 Step Face

Estée Lauder's 5 Step Face is directly inspired by Tom Pecheux' process they are simple Do-It-Yourself steps that perfect and enhance any skin tone, any age, any ethnicity, any woman!

Below are the steps for Estée Lauder's 5 Step Face and the secrets behind why make-up artistes love them!

1. Skincare to prepare:

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair

Start with your repair serum, Advanced Night Repair is the one revolutionary formula beautiful skin shouldn't live without. Massage both the repair serum and moisturizer into your skin.  Use gentle sweeping strokes. This makes your skin instantly hydrated, protected and look healthy. 

2. Foundation to perfect: 

Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Stay-in-place makeup

Next is the foundation. Place a small amount of the foundation on the back of your hand. Pick up a small amount with your foundation brush and apply it to your skin. Start at the centre of your face, that's the area where most women have unevenness or redness. Then apply to other areas, a little at a time. The result is beautiful, even glowing skin. 

3. Conceal and correct:

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum

First apply the Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum, it visibly reduces every key sign of aging and artistes love smooth texture. Conceal over your eye cream, only put the concealer where you need it. A brush helps to melt the concealer into the skin, use the brush to blend out the edges until you can't see where the foundation and the concealer meet. 

4. Apply Powder:

Estee Lauder Double Wear Powder

Then it's time to quickly set the makeup in place and erase unwanted shine. Keep it light, hold the brush over the skin to keep the amount of powder to a minimum. Do not apply powder on the whole face, just the forehead, the nose and the chin, use the remaining powder over your eye lids, this smoothes the way for the eyeshadow later. 

5. Softly define features:

Defining Features

Now that the face is perfected, it's time to add some soft definitions so your features pop. Most artists start with a Lash Primer and then add just a touch of mascara so they can see a better shape of the eye. A dramatic lash is not required, so just one coat is enough. Brushing up the brows is one of the artist's easiest ways to make the face look groomed without making the brows look overdone. Just adding a little blush gives the face the healthy glow. The key is not to add a lot of color. And finally a little lip gloss helps define the lips without looking overly made up. 

And now you are done! You see even, healthy skin and beautifully defined features. It's a comfortable, wearable, subtle look. If you want more color, the Estée Lauder 5 step face is also the basis for any makeup look you want to try. Estée Lauder's 5 step face, what beautiful skin and beautiful makeup need.  As Tom Pechuex says, "Make yourself look beautiful and feel beautiful".
