Jaime Richards — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 10:44:06 PDT

When your last name is Muse, modeling almost seems like an inevitable career choice. Named after the state in which she was born, 23-year-old Arizona Muse has stacked up an impressive résumé of work over her relatively short career including her newest gig as the new face Estée Lauder. "Arizona has quickly become one of fashion's most recognized faces, on the runway, in magazines. and in fashion campaigns," said the brand's style and image director, Aerin Lauder, adding, "She has the timeless elegance that will make her a fashion and beauty icon of her generation."

Arizona, who has walked runways such as Dior, Chanel, and Carolina Herrera, joins the Estée Lauder ranks alongside spokeswomen Elizabeth Hurley, Constance Jablonski, and Liu Wen. (Learn Constance's and Liu Wen's best beauty advice.) While Arizona has yet to photograph her first campaign, expect to see her featured in various skin care, makeup, and fragrance ads sometime over the next year.

What We're Sweet On: a Mediterranean Breeze of a Scent

Miriam Lacey — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 07:03:26 PST

You know warmer weather is on the way when eau fraiche scents, super light fragrances one step below EDTs, start coming out. We've already been cheered up considerably by the first Spring perfume to come across our desks, Estée Lauder's new Bronze Goddess Capri ($57). Capri is a flanker to Lauder's well-beloved Bronze Goddess fragrance (which is available again for a limited time, by the way), and if the original is something you remember enjoying, you'll want to give this one a sniff, too.

The difference between the two breaks down to this. If Bronze Goddess is Tahiti, with coconut and tiare jasmine notes, then Capri is definitely more like the Mediterranean isle that provided its name: fresh and slightly citrusy but rich with the scent of beautifully aged wood. A warm, slightly resinous base leaves you gently and beautifully scented for hours. Don't let the opening half hour of this one fool you; the drydown is what makes it worthwhile. So if you have a little patience, check Capri out before it goes back into the Lauder vault come September.

Elizabeth Hurley Reaches Out to Men With Breast Cancer

Miriam Lacey — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 01:35:55 PDT

Every October since 1993, Estée Lauder has painted the world pink while raising money for the Breast Cancer Research Fund; this year, more than 200 global landmarks will be lighted pink to raise awareness of the need for a cure. "Sometimes when we’re approaching BCA month, I think, 'Gosh, I hope the TV shows are going to have us on this year,'" Estée Lauder model Elizabeth Hurley recently said when asked what's changed since she began campaigning for breast cancer awareness. "I think that, but what never changes is that more and more people want to talk about it - because sadly, women are still being diagnosed with breast cancer." To find out what Elizabeth Hurley and the BCA campaign are doing to make 2011 different, just keep reading.

What We're Sweet On: A Pretty Rose Gold Powder

Annie Tomlin — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 03:05:23 PDT

Sometimes a beauty product comes along that is so innovative and pretty, you can't help but dream of owning two: one to use, the other to keep pristine. Such is the case with Estée Lauder's Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelée ($40), an embossed and rippled powder that goes on with a smooth, nearly gel-like consistency. Used as a highlighter, the rose gold color looks great on fair skin, dark skin, and complexions in between. Applied wet with a brush, it makes eyes look simultaneously larger and more awake. And we've even had luck dabbing a bit on bare lips for a subtle shimmer. Unfortunately, though you might want backups of this compact, you'll be challenged to track down a single one. The limited-edition product is sold out online, so you'll have to charm your way into tracking one down in the real world (or fighting bidders on eBay, who've pushed the price up to more than $72). Conversely, hang tight until January, when a bronzer version will likely create a whole new frenzy.

Every woman can be beautiful. So said the late Estée Lauder, whose belief has been translated into her namesake brand's new philosophy.
