I feel like Estee Lauder tries to be like Clinique, but is not as successful. Their color palette is not as good and their product line is not as innovative. However, it's still good quality make-up and fairly priced for a department store brand. I gave them three stars because they don't really have any stand-out products worth mentioning in my opinion.

The new line of Tom Ford for Esteee Lauder is quite good, especially the illuminating lotion for face. But other than that, I find their products to be be overpriced. I rather buy Chanel or Dior

I agree, I love the eye shadows, blendable and adhere well.

Love their eye powders!!

Love their gifts with purchase, especially the eyeshadow and lip palettes. Chicago and Neiman's Saks usually have the best gifts, and more importantly, service. The sales assistants do their best to discuss the products with you. But avoid the EL counter in Chicago's Nordstrom: lowsy and unprofessional.

I HAVE USED ESTEE LAUDER DBL MATE FOUNDATION AND POWDER FOR OVER 15 YEARS. I FOUND TO BE ONE OF THE BEST THERE IS.ONCE AN A WHILE I WANT TO TRY SOMETHING ELSE, BUT I END UP GOING BACK. OTHER MAKE UPS MAKE ME LOOK TIRE AND DO NOT LAST.

in general i really do not care for estee lauder cosmetics.think that they're over-rated. i prefer Elizabeth Arden by far. to me there's no comparison. i wouldn't waste my money on estee lauder. what they do know what to do is put on good ad campaigns and locate the counters in the prime locations in the department stores to catch your eye competitively.

I personally buy only clinique -- but I do happen to have some Estee Lauder mascara that I would kill for. It doesn't clump and its light. My eyelashes have been thick and long ever since birth and I'm always complimented on them but I've always found it so hard to find mascara that didn't clump them together and make it just look like I had 2 or 3 giant eyelashes. I highly recommend any Estee Lauder mascara, it is truly the best and worth every penny!

Very over priced. Not accomidating to the average mom. Packaging leave a little to be desired.

it made me break out...and i dont usually break out.

It's pretty good makeup, and Estee Lauder usually has a wonderful Christmas makeup kit, and has many gifts with purchase throughout the year. The only problem is I end up with more tiny bottles of lotion and perfume samples than I know what to do with. UPDATE: I grew up on Estee Lauder and don't use it as much as I did in my younger days, but their liquid eyeliner is the best. It is easy to apply and does not flake.

I use Estee Lauder skin care and cosmetics, and I'm only 25! They offer several lines of skin care, each tailored for your skin. I admit, the products are a little expensive, but they are far superior to the kind you purchase in Meijer or Wal-Mart. You certainly get what you pay for, in my book. Whether you're using the skin care products, the lip gloss, or the perfumes, Estee Lauder is top notch!

just plain sexy

I do not buy Estee Lauder products too often because of the price, but I will admit they have the best perfumes and they have a beautiful red lipstick that I love in a shade that they call Sexy.

This line targets those of a more mature nature. It is a nice line of make-up but also an industry monster, and in cases like this you end up paying more for things that are not actually worth the amount they are being sold for. This line is not industry favored.

Expensive but top notch in my book.
