Discover how Mrs. Estée Lauder, the female founder of the prestige beauty brand that today still bears her name, used passion, perseverance and creativity to change the face of the cosmetics industry.
Estée Lauder: A Brand By Any Other Name

Josephine Esther Mentzer was born and raised in New York City. The name Estée was a variation of her nickname, Esty.
Her interest in beauty was sparked in high school when her Hungarian uncle came to live with her family and created velvety skin creams, first in the kitchen, then in a laboratory in a stable out back.
From her uncle, Estée not only learned how to concoct the wonderful creams but also how to apply them to women’s faces.
What Women Want

Decades before social media became mainstream, Estée ran word-of-mouth campaigns. Her oft-repeated mantra was “Telephone, Telegraph, Tell a Woman.” She believed that women who liked her products would spread the word.
