The first 100 clients who purchased any item from The Estée Edit received a wristband to meet Kendall at this exclusive event last night.

THE LOOK:​ Victor Henao, Makeup Artist for The Estée Edit by Estée Lauder, wanted to create a smoky eye for a super cool, 90s vibe.

SKIN: The Estée Edit by Estée Lauder Beam Team was used to moisturize and illuminate the skin.

​CHEEKS: The Barest Blush in First Lover

​EYES: First, Victor used The Edgiest Kohl Shadowstick in Black Viper in the outer and inner crease, and then applied The Edgiest Kohl Shadowstick in Guilt to the center of the eye. He then applied the Dark Brown and Black from The Edit Eyeshadow Palette in the crease of the eye to further define the smoky eye, topping it off with the Silver Transformer all over. He finished the eye with The Blackest Liner and The Edgiest Up & Out Double Mascara to define and lengthen her lashes.

Pastel Glazed Lips. Lock it all in with Arbonne Glossed Over Lip Gloss in Linden ($24).
