    ESTEE Lauder shares hit a record high on Wednesday after the cosmetics maker forecast holiday-quarter sales ahead of market expectations, banking on demand for recently acquired makeup brands that are popular with millennials.

    The strong forecast followed better-than-expected sales and profit in the first quarter ended Sept 30, as sales in the Asia-Pacific region and Europe soared by 18 and 20 per cent respectively.
