With a fine arts background, Derek joined the Estee Lauder team 12 years ago and trained alongside Tom Pecheux in Paris – so it’s fair to say he has a trick or two up his sleeve.
From backstage favourites
to travel essentials, Derek shared his must-have products and also showcased the
latest releases from the brand. We were shown
how to contour our cheeks like a pro, and our makeup was expertly touched up
before we headed off at the end of the class.
With his manic
schedule (he's off to Hawaii next, via LA!), Derek’s a big fan of multi-taskers and especially loves Estee Lauder’s
new triple action cleanser, Perfectly Clean.
This lightweight foam acts a
cleanser, toner and makeup remover, and can be used with cotton pads, or water
and a muslin cloth. It’s €28 and I plan on trying it out soon.
Makeup wise, I was most excited about playing with the new Cello Shots - translucent cheek stains, lip glosses
and lipsticks that are inspired by coloured cellophane. They give a lovely veil
of colour and the four pretty cheek stains are particularly pleasing.
I’ll leave you with the look Derek created for me using Estee Lauder’s summer palette, Batik Sun, which I really love –I own this palette and came up with a similar (though less expertly applied) look when I was messing around with it myself.
Makeup masterclasses are regularly held by high-end brands in some of the bigger department stores (this one was in Brown Thomas) so do keep an eye on their websites or sign up to any mailing lists, if you’d like to attend.

I want to try these cello shots you speak of.
Looking lovely! Great pics :-)
Oh you lucky thing! Sounds like a fabulous experience and you look fab at the end of it. Mind you, you looked pretty fab at the beginning too so he had a good canvas to work on. X
I saw him in Galway! He was great but unfortunately I didn't get time with him after due to some more (*ahem*) demanding customers....He has the most amazing eyelashes, no?! :)
Nice make up ...
Kisses
