‘We’re such big supporters of each other,’ the New York native revealed to the entertainment publication at the time.
‘I think it’s been almost 15 years now. We literally test and try whatever we’re working on with each other. I’ll test and try her stuff. I give her my stuff.’
He further continued, ‘We give each other really honest feedback. We’re such lovers of makeup and glam. So, our [businesses] are like this new aspect to our relationship.’

‘I helped her a lot with KKW Beauty in the very beginning and now that I have my line, we’re both just doing it. It’s such a fun process working together. When I see stuff that comes in from the labs that’s not authentic to me, but I think is really authentic to her, I’ll bring it to her team, and she’ll do the same thing.’
Chris was notably behind Kim’s blonde tresses when she arrived at the 2022 MET Gala in NYC last year in May, which were dyed just hours before the annual event.
‘I love a blonde Kim. I think it’s so interesting how a color can change the colors of the clothes you wear and it really changes your makeup. You can really reinvent things,’ he informed E! News at time.
On his approach to coloring her dark hair in such a short span of time, he revealed, ‘It’s definitely not just about putting a color on all over and hoping for the best. It really is quite an approach that you have to plan it with. I go about that very particularly.’
