Thank you for creating this video and sharing your solution. I grew up in the fifties and everybody back then knew how to open dusting powder. Guess it's a lost art - so to pass this wisdom down: you're not supposed to remove the paper at all! Instead, you just take a sharpened pencil and poke about five tiny holes (the size of a pencil point, smaller than the diameter of the pencil) in the paper cover. You can even draw a five-pointed star on the paper cover and put a tiny hole at each of the star's tips. Then you put the puff on top of the paper cover, turn the whole container over, and shake it slightly. Then turn the container (with the puff still covering the holes) right side up and lift the puff and tap the powder onto your skin. Wishing you a great day!
Well I’ll be darn. I wish I would have known. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Next time I get a knew powder I should make a follow-up video.
Thank for sharing this!! I just bought the Estée Lauder Beautiful powder as well, and I couldn't figure out how to open it. I actually did a search on how to open Estée Lauder perfume powder, and your video popped up, so I thank you for experimenting for us! In the mean time, Estée Lauder needs to get their act together and put instructions in the box!
I ran a knife under the lid and the bottom. It loosened the lid a bit (no glue) and I was able to open it then. Before I used the knife the lid refused to come off without creating a big mess. Thanks for sharing! It’s nice to know someone else was frustrated with this.
Thank you so much for this video!!! 5 YEARS LATER and you are still out here helping us!!! I did the same thing that you did except i cut the top (where the words are) instead of the bottom. However, I'm thinking i should have cut the bottom like you did because the bottom appears to be just a bit smaller so that the mesh screen fits just perfectly whereas on the top (where i cut it) the screen is just a tad too small. Im 44 years old and my Mamaw and my StepMom both wore Beautiful products when I was growing up so when i was old enough to wear "real" petfume Beautiful was my obvious choice. This is actually my 1st time using the body powder, but I wish I had started using it much sooner in life lol!!! Thank you again for your incredibly helpful video ma'am!!!! OH AND BTW.....5 YEARS LATER AND YOUR VIDEO IS STILL THE ONLY THING I COULD FIND RELATED TO THIS!!! Estee Lauder might want to step up their game lol.
This was clearly a very needed video with 8k+ views lol. I just received my Beautiful body powder and also could NOT get into it . Like you, I had this powder years ago and never struggled like this to get in it….I mean unbelievable lol smh. Glad you did this video though. I’m just going to cut through mine as well. Estée Lauder really need to take a look at this video to see the same feedback of so many.
Well you nailed it! I see now that you made this video quite some time ago! I just got this powder for Christmas and triec to figure out how to open it! No instruction still! Estee Lauder, have you not learned how to give us some kind of instruction, or change the packaging!?! Thank you for the video! Glad I’m not the only struggling powder princess! 💕😂
My daughter got me this for Mother’s Day because my grandmother used to wear it, and I would dab some on every time I visited her. The scent takes me right back into my grandma’s arms ❤ but! I came here bc if I’ll be gull darn if I know how to open it!! lol! Thank you, dear!
Thank you for this! I buy the Youth Dew dusting powder and have for years... NO instructions on how to open it either. I have wasted powder, sliced and diced fingers... It is CRAZY that they can't come up with an easier way to open without the waste...
Just use a craft utility knife and carefully cut the paper seal... can't be very difficult. Just ordered the 'Youth Dew' powder myself... Actually it was just now delivered to my house... very anxious to see how it feels and smells when I get home... It was recommended by a girlfriend...
I chatted with an E L beauty consultant. Her written instructions were as follows: "Using a very sharp object that resembles a tip of a sharpened pencil and allow only for 2-3mm holes to be poked through."
Thank you! I am sending an email to EL! I can’t believe that this was such a challenge. Thanks goodness I found your video to confirm I wasn’t the only one!!
Had I found you...lol... Just got my white linen powder...thankful you made video...your way looks to be best....years ago,,since my ex didn't buy me gits,,I bought white linen bubble bath crystals. I would sometes leave lid off,,,fragrance filled whole mobile home...
You are just an adorable estee lauder girl... Watching again,cause your so darn cute opening this....you remind me of my baby sister...what's not to love...💝🤗👏👏🌼🌼🌼
Okay love this because I use the Elizabeth Arden Red Door perfumed body powder and I feel like there is literally no info on this at all like are we the only women who powder ourselves? Lol anyways would love to see your scent routine 🥰
Thank you so much for doing this! I just got this from my husband for Christmas, and was trying everything that you did trying to figure it out!! I actually did the Google search and your video came up! :) Thanks again!
@@aracelim1532 Merry Christmas, and thank you ! I love it! I have been wearing Beautiful for years, but never had the powder! I am disappointed that the shower gel has been discontinued though!
@@aracelim1532 You did it the correct way... I just purchased a box of Estēe Lauder 'Youth Dew' dusting powder... On the Estēe Lauder Website it states that you have to cut along the perimeter of the plastic seal... like you did. However, they should also put a little note in every box with opening instructions... it's common sense...
@@Genevieve111 Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. I made this video about 3 years ago, didn’t think of checking the website. I agree they need to add a note with instructions.
Thank you for sharing your experience asi have the green powder from the same brand and they are the worse in packaging! As there is a glou in my sponge ! Hope they improved to do as Chanel powder.
This is the only useful video I found ! Thank you so much for it ! I don't have the filter part in my powder though ( i found it in my grandmother's things ) if you somehow see this, any tips for a diy filter ? Thank you !
Hy sweety, I would have punctured the powder box with a thick needle instead of opening the whole box with knife or the scissor. Just take a needle and puncture it. For me that was the easier thing to do and it works perfectly
I opened my box by peeling off the taped end on the side of the box and it almost made the top part of the board come off. I then deposited the contents of the paperbox into the plastic container and voila!! There you have it! The packaging team at @Estée Lauder ought to do better than this for sure.

Mary-Anne glad I could help. Lol
Aww it’s still “beautiful” just open it delicately and it lasts a long time!
Omg thx u so much I just bought it today , and I really don’t know how to open it till I found your vdo 😅 thx u
Yay. I’m so happy. Thanks for watching.
Thank you! I got the lid off! I pressed one of the flat side in and the lid came off!
The screen silds into the container. I sit mines directly on the powder
Thnx for helping us to open it up
Thank you! I thought mine was just missing the instructions....
I can’t believe they still haven’t updated that box.
I contact the company you just have to poke few holes. Thats it. Thank you for trying
Would have been nice to know. Maybe a sticker telling us that
Ugh gutted to read this they really should come with instructions...even face wash comes with instructions.
@@an8127 no kidding.

I would love a Chanel powder. I wear the fragrance everyday.
Thank you for showing. I was wondering this too. 😀
You’re welcome.

I had the same problem thats why i searched it on youtube..
Love this video!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you

Thank you for this video!
And it last a long time
I think you just poke a few holes in the paper top
Linda Lee Really? 🤷🏻♀️
Then how do you powder your puff??
Wish I saw this before I tried to open it mins ago. I used box cutter and opened the top and wasn’t sure if I had to tip the box in the container.
I opened the top that way too 🥴
Thank youuuuuuu
Helpful video!
This was very helpful.. thanks
Wadha A A thanks for watching
