Or is it technology which has encouraged us to buy make-up online whilst we are all stuck at home?Leonard tells us from his own lips how Estée set the standard, and how he has taken it to the future.Produced by Natasha Cowan @tashonfashEdited by Tim Thornton @timwthorntonMusic by @joergzuberGraphics by Paul WallisTo find Suzy's articles visit https://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/suzy-menkes ...find Suzy on Instagram @suzymenkes and Twitter @thesuzymenkes Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
