Allure: What is your approach to the world of beauty?
Christine Quinn: I’ve always loved makeup, beauty, skin care.
I grew up in a time when Wet n Wildkohl black eyelinerwas the thing, right?

I actually did my own hair color for a really long time.
And then I started doing my girlfriends hair color as well.
That’s something that I still kind of carry out to this day.
And there’s nothing like doing it yourself if you know the look that you want to achieve.
Allure: How would you describe this moment in Christine Quinns aesthetic history?
Theres a product I found that I really like, Im going to butcher this, called Nescens.
They have aDark Spot Correcting Serumand it’s not just for dark spots.
It is also for redness, and it kind of gives you this all-over even glow.
And I love a good lactic acid two or three times a week I useSunday Riley Good Genes.

Shani Darden makes a really great one calledRetinol Reform.
I’ll just blot that out really quick.
Then just alip gloss.
And I’ll diffuse it with a white powder and do mascara and keep it moving.
For my hair, I’m always just putting it in like a supermodeloff-duty bun.
Like, I lovea good bun.
Right now it’s a straight middle part, and myhaircurledunder.
Because that for me is just my easy, everyday hair.
Ive been using theBeachwaver, becauseits so easy.
she says, of the collaboration with hairstylist Sarah Potempa and her sisters/co-founders.
The Beachwaver team is the true definition of boss bitch.]
It has just this flawless aesthetic that I always strive to.
Allure: What is your relationship to blonde hair?
CQ:I have such a love-hate relationship with my blonde hair.
I’ve beenbleaching my hairfor years, since I was probably 14 or 15.
I’m already naturally light, probably like a shade three.
But I’ve been dying my hair forever.
And with that comesdamage.
And then youre also… sorry, room service.
You cant make this up.
Allure: No worries!
CQ: [To her husband Christian] Christian, Christian?
The room service guy is here.
Im going to do my interview in the bathroom if you dont mind?
And so it just became a lot.
And then I discovered high-lift color and I’ve been doing that ever since then.
No one told me about this before!
And I take a lot of supplements.
I loveNutrafol, they make a great supplement.
They told me, You need a social presence.
And that’s kind of what I had to do.
CQ:I’m actually a very private person, believe it or not.
But then people start to expect that.
Allure: How do you feel about aging?
CQ: Unfortunately, I can’t do anything about it, but thank God forBotoxandfillers.
And I was like, Tell me everything.
And she’s like, I do yellowlight therapythree times a week.
I was like, Oh my gosh, on it.
So I immediately went on Amazon.
I got this light that I made sure has yellow therapy.
And I’ll have a go at do that when I’m home.
Allure: Who is the most beautiful person to you?
CQ:Scarlett JohanssonandNaomi Campbell.
Scarlett is my movie-television [idol], and Naomi is an incredible supermodel.
Is it fair to say youre more focused on modeling?
CQ: Yeah, that’s definitely fair to say.
Fashion and beauty has just been my realm forever.
So when I got approached to work with [Beachwaver], I was really excited.
Because, you know, I love anything that’s glam and can make your life easier.
I think thats whats so alluring… no pun intended.
