The interview
The Mentalist star Emmanuelle Chriqui dishes on her beauty secrets, favorite designers and which celeb she’d die to trade closets with right now.
When Emmanuelle waltzed into our interview , she looked absolutely radiant in a super-hot Max Mara jumpsuit and sky-high black heels, beyond excited to chat with us about her beauty must-haves and what drives her style choices.
As we were testing and playing with some of her most covetable Mineral Fusion products — everything from revitalizing body lotion to the prettiest nail polishes — the former Entourage glamour girl filled us in on her beauty routine, favorite red carpet moments and more!
SheKnows: What is your number one secret for keeping your skin glowing?
Emmanuelle Chriqui: Washing off my makeup every night before I go to bed! It’s so important. I’m a big skin girl. I also love to get body scrubs when I can, and use the Mineral Fusion Waterstone Lotion that is clinically proven to keep skin hydrated for 24 hours!
SK: How do you keep your hair looking fabulous and healthy?
EC: I love Mineral Fusion’s Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner. If I use a shampoo that’s made of unnatural products, it makes my hair limp, and I don’t have that problem with this!
SK: Who are some of your favorite red carpet fashion designers?
EC: I definitely haven’t worn some of my favorite designers. Dior makes some sick gowns. I also love Balmain. Obsessed. If I could wear that all the time, I would love it. It’s sexy, but has that masculine edge to it. I also love vintage Halston and Calvin Klein.
SK: How would you describe your style?
EC: I like to be simple. A simple dress that just looks amazing on your body.
SK: Which celeb would you love to trade closets with if you could?
EC: You know who has the sickest style? Zoe Saldana! Stunning. Always simple, refined and sexy. She’s never trying too hard. Joy Bryant also has great style.
