It’s my personality to be more quiet and reserved. I’m not going out every night to multiple things. I prefer to stay in and be with my children and do Spanish homework to make sure they get a good grade the next day. – Aerin Lauder
I’ve always loved the beauty world. Ever since I was a child, I looked at magazines and wore fragrances and tried out samples and sets. – Aerin Lauder
I discovered I was passionate about the creative process, the product development, creating a concept around a fragrance or lipstick. – Aerin Lauder
Looking feminine is important to me. My personal style is fairly traditional. I was definitely influenced by my mother, who always looks elegant, and by Estee’s classic style; she was always in Givenchy or Ungaro. – Aerin Lauder
I love cereals. We must have 10 to 15 boxes. But if I’m being honest, I have Fruit Loops and Lucky Charms hidden behind the healthier ones. – Aerin Lauder
I’m never without my personalised Anya Hindmarch diary – I keep my schedule online, too, but my diary is always in my bag. It’s crammed Post-its. – Aerin Lauder
I love both real and fake jewelry. My kids make me necklaces, and I wear those, too. Every day, I wear my gold wedding band and the Cartier watch my husband gave me. – Aerin Lauder
Growing up in New York, I loved watching my grandmother Estee put on her make-up – I always admired her sense of style. – Aerin Lauder
The trends that last and the trends that are relevant are the ones that make you look pretty. – Aerin Lauder
I love going to museums, especially the Met, because there’s always room for discovery, or the Neue Galerie. It’s a great jewel box. – Aerin Lauder
I usually keep my personal style simple and streamlined. I like classic colors like black, white, and beige. White and black is my favorite color combination, and I like to finish up my look with an accent of gold jewelry. – Aerin Lauder
You can’t be a major company today without paying attention to celebrities. They are the leaders in beauty and fashion. – Aerin Lauder
My inspiration for new products comes from moments in my life or what’s happening around me. – Aerin Lauder
I am such a bath girl: we’ve gone to some of the beautiful hotels in the world, and if there’s a shower, I’m so disappointed. – Aerin Lauder
Sunday is about relaxing and wearing anything comfortable. I love wearing a J. Crew shirt and jeans, which is a treat because I never wear these kinds of clothes during the week. – Aerin Lauder
Just because something is on trend doesn’t mean you have to embrace it. You can look at it and admire it, but that doesn’t mean you have to wear black nail polish or red lipstick. – Aerin Lauder
There are certain parts of the home that I think embellishment feels cozy and inviting. Then there are other environments, for example, the living room, where I don’t have a ton of items on the table. – Aerin Lauder
Everyone always asks, ‘Did you ever rebel? Did you dye your hair blue? Did you wear black nail polish?’ I mean, of course, there have been episodes when you wear weird-colored lipstick… But generally, I think I was pretty much the way I am now. – Aerin Lauder
I have a lot of passion. I have a lot of pride. I think I do get that from my family. But you can be driven and be nice. – Aerin Lauder
AERIN is saturated with the qualities that have surrounded me my entire life, many of which came from my grandmother, Estee: passion, style, hard work, family, and, of course, all things beautiful. – Aerin Lauder
I think talented people are priceless. And I think people that are knowledgeable and experienced – and I think there’s a balance of new talent and experience, which makes, I think, Estee Lauder really special. – Aerin Lauder
The biggest beauty myth is that everyone looks better without makeup. That’s not true. Makeup is important. – Aerin Lauder
Luxury is anything that feels special. I mean, it can be a moment, it can be a walk on the beach, it could be a kiss from your child, or it could be a beautiful picture frame, a special fragrance. I think luxury doesn’t necessarily have to mean expensive. – Aerin Lauder
