Estee Lauder will lay off between 5,800 and 7,000 employees after second-quarter sales plummeted 6% and operating income tanked to a $580 million loss.

Estee Lauder announced on Tuesday that it plans to slash up to 7,000 positions from its workforce. The cosmetics company said it will eliminate a net of 5,800 to 7,000 roles as it unveiled an updated "profit recovery and growth plan" and released its second-quarter financial results on Tuesday.

Estee Lauder on Tuesday expanded its restructuring plan that would include up to 7,000 job cuts and posted smaller-than-expected drop in second-quarter sales.
