Our future carries the blush of success as we believe our greatest growth prospects are still ahead of us.

Country-by-country-and culture-by-culture-our strategies for growth in new markets have been carefully crafted to address the local needs and aspirations of our consumers. In Asia, where radiant complexions are synonymous with beauty, we focus on skin care products that brighten and protect for clear, luminous skin. In Russia and Brazil, where consumers are enchanted by the alluring scent of fragrance and exhilarated by the latest innovations in makeup, we showcase our classic fragrances and dynamic makeup brands. In India, Estée Lauder and M·A·C have created specific foundation shades and cheek color carefully designed to bring out the natural beauty in Indian skin tones.
