If someone had told Estée that she would build a career on beauty products, she would never have believed them. But 8 years and 461 videos later, here Estée is, delving into one of her favourite subjects, Makeup.

Last year, Estée took the plunge and got a tattoo in what she describes as a very unEstée move. After booking a spontaneous appointment with the enigmatic Madame Buraka, Estée found herself in a bedroom, above a south London pub, preparing to get inked.

In this episode of The Heart of It, Estée meets Amy Black, award winning tattoo artist and founder of the Pink Ink Fund, a nonprofit which provides post mastectomy tattoos; and explores her own views about tattoos.
