Outdoor Entertaining with Estée Lauder

July 25th, 2012

I love the casual vibe of summer entertaining. Everything feels relaxed when people are sitting around a table outside eating a simple, seasonal meal. I created a video with Estée Lauder about my tips for entertaining at home and my beauty regimen (like mixing blush with an illuminating primer for a nice glow and smudging kohl liner along my upper lash line for extra drama) for looking the best in candlelight.

    I love the feminine necklace contrasted with the tomboy jeans. An incredibly sophisticated way to complete the look!

    Love the idea of mixing illuminator with some pink blush! It made your skin absolutely radiante. I will be trying that trick this weekend so I’m glowing from my blush and not these sticky temps. ;)

    maybe if you actually put on your own makeup and didn’t fake it I’d probably buy into the whole collaboration!

  • Kate

    What lipstick/lipgloss color are you wearing in this video. I absolutely love it!

  • Christa

    Can you tell me what eyeshadow colors you are wearing? The Estee Lauder website names the eyeliner, blush and lip gloss, but not the eyeshadow. Thanks!

    I’m an Estee Lauder business manager in Tallahassee. A customer came in and specifically asked too try the primer/blush technique. We had so much fun. I tried every blush we had. Pink kiss and wild sunset worked the best. The softer colors were too diluted by the primer. I will definitely use this technique again. Thanks Jessica for playing at my counter with me and telling me about this adorable website!
