Okay, so I wanted to figure out what brands Estée Lauder actually owns. You know, it’s one of those big names in the beauty world, and I was curious about their reach.
First, I started by just hitting up a search engine. I typed in something like “what brands does Estée Lauder own?” The results were pretty clear. It turns out they have tons of brands under their belt, both the fancy expensive ones and some more affordable options too.
I read a little bit about Estée Lauder herself. She started this whole thing with her husband back in 1946. Apparently, she was making skin creams in her own kitchen before that! Imagine going from your kitchen to running a massive beauty empire. Now, it’s like a whole family affair, with several of her family members involved and super rich because of it.
Then I dug into how they got so big. It seems like a big part of their growth was through either creating new brands or buying up existing ones. They wanted to reach all kinds of customers, so they have a wide range of products, but they kept each brand feeling separate and unique. I found out that a lot of the stuff that’s normal in the beauty industry now was actually started by Estée Lauder. Things like getting a free gift when you buy something, those beauty contracts, and working with designers – she was doing all that first!
I also saw that they’ve been expanding like crazy all over the world. They keep acquiring brands in skincare, makeup, and fragrances, so they’re basically everywhere.
Finally, I wanted to see a list of some of their popular brands. Here’s a bit of what I found:
- Clinique: I’ve definitely seen this one around. They’re known for their skincare, I think.
- La Mer: This one is super fancy, right? I always see it in those high-end stores.
- Bobbi Brown Cosmetics: I feel like this is a makeup artist brand. It seems really popular.
- MAC: This is a classic! Everyone knows MAC. They have every color of lipstick you can imagine.
- Aveda: They do hair stuff, right? I think they’re all about natural ingredients.
So, yeah, Estée Lauder is way bigger than I thought. They own a ton of different beauty brands, from luxury to more everyday stuff. It’s pretty impressive how they built this whole empire from a kitchen!
