A look back at the fabulous life of Estée Lauder, in photographs.
“My first memory of her was probably her scent,” Aerin Lauder recalls of her grandmother, cosmetics pioneer.

She sold four products: cleansing oil, skin lotion, super-rich all-purpose creme, and a creme pack. Soon, Lauder had a bustling counter at Saks Fifth Avenue. In the following decades, she turned her namesake brand into a billion-dollar company, thanks to her shrewd business acumen and a keen sense of women’s desires.

When her son Leonard went off to summer camp, Lauder wasn’t satisfied by merely packing him a boxed lunch per instructions.
