Hello!

Hi!

I don t want to touch you,

cause I just touched a thousand people.

Well, courteous, thank you.

Let s go in here.

Okay.

(upbeat classical music)

I love cosmetics.

One of the reasons that I went to Estee Lauder

to help me create Tom Ford Beauty was

their expertise not only in fragrance, but in cosmetics.

So it was my intention.

[Celia] All along.

Absolutely.

(upbeat classical music)

One of the things I think about is the look,

because that s the character for the season.

[Celia] Who is the Tom Ford Beauty woman?

Who do you see wearing these cosmetics?

Well, I would like to think that it s a woman

who either is our ready-to-wear customer,

or aspires to be our ready-to-wear customer.

If she could afford it, would be our ready-to-wear customer.

So I think it s the same customer,

it s just a broader, it s more accessible.

[Celia] Is there a desert island product?

The one thing that you think people

are really not gonna be able to live without?

Well, I don t know about a desert island product,

because I m not sure you need cosmetics on a desert island,

but one thing that I m really happy

to hear is doing very well is Shade and Illuminate.

There s a dark tone and a lighter tone,

because it s really about correcting the architecture

of your face and helping your face look symmetrical.

And if you apply it well, which is pretty easy,

I think, it actually doesn t really

look like you re wearing anything.

[Celia] I ve read that there s

some things that you yourself like to wear,

that you love from the collection.

Absolutely.

There are a lot of men who, if they

nick themselves shaving, or they were up too late,

when their girlfriends aren t looking

or their wives aren t looking,

they take a little bit of concealer and they fix that.

I know a lot of men with wives

and kids who you would be surprised.

But of course, I have an eye for it,

so I know exactly what they re doing.

It isn t just a little cult thing

that I m playing around with.

It s something I m really serious about,

and I worked on it very hard.
