Q&A with Tom Pecheux
Creative Makeup Director, Estée Lauder

Q: What can you tell us about the new blush shade lineup?

A: When you create a new blush collection, as a makeup artist you try to make sure that you have everything in your kit for everyone, for every occasion.  So we created a very wide color selection that will fit every tone for any occasion from a light whisper of color to deep and dramatic.


Q: How would you recommend determining your right shade of blush?  Is there a trick to
determining if a shade of blush will work for you?

A: First, you need to define what you are looking for whether it is a blush to give you a warmer touch color or fresh and fruity pop of color.  Also, you need to decide where you want to apply your blush.  Is it going to contour your face or color your cheeks?  If you want to contour your face, choose the shades that have a brown base and are a little bit darker than your skintone so it blends without looking harsh.  If you want to color your cheeks, look for shades that are more pink, tangerine, raspberry and melon and apply perfectly on the apples of your cheeks.


Q: What are your tips for properly applying the new Pure Color Blush?

A: I like to use is the Estée Lauder Blush Brush and I grab a little bit of color at a time.  Take the brush and sweep it once across the blush and then tap the brush on the mirror to make sure the pigments get worked into the brush instead of just sitting on the top.  This will make the color go on evenly—not patchy or streaky.


Q: Your picks are very bold.  What type of look were you thinking of when creating these bright cheek shades?

A: When I created this collection I was thinking fashion and attitude.  Fashion is never looking for weakness and loving all looks and colors and I created a collection that can do everything.  Fashion loves character, power, individuality, and high femininity and this collection represents those same characteristics.


Q: What eye and lip would you recommend to pair with these bold blushes?

A: I love the bold shades of blush and picked 3 favorites that will be introduced as a limited edition in 2012 through select stores.  When doing a bold blush, pair with either a bold lip or bold eyes.  This creates a perfect balance to the face with just 2 points of color.  If you do all three then you will have too much vivid color and it will not look as sophisticated as you would like
