About Cat Quinn

As an Executive Director at MAC Cosmetics, I lead the strategy and creative for MAC Social and Trend. I am responsible for MAC\'s owned social channels, with a combined following of 50M, and oversee a team of strategists and creatives to develop forward-thinking social campaigns. I also lead MAC\'s strategic trend program to create and amplify trends in culture, working cross-functionally to turn them into conversion and equity drivers for the brand.In addition to my role at MAC, I am a Red Carpet Correspondent for legacy brands like TIME and IMDb, where I research, write, host, and edit talent interviews surrounding major events like the Golden Globes, SXSW, the Elton John Oscars After-Party, Time Women of the Year awards, as well as premieres and set visits for shows like Bridgerton and The Buccaneers. I was named one of 15 the \"fastest growing beauty influencers\" of 2022 by WWD and Dash Hudson. I hold a degree in Magazine Journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia, with a focus on Women\'s Studies. My skills include interviewing, red carpet, and creative strategy.

   The Trend Whisperer After 10 years as a beauty editor and director specializing in pop culture, entertainment, and global trends for publications like Allure and Refinery29, I now share my expertise as a content creator on social media. On my channels (with a combined 500k followers across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Threads), I break down the meaning of makeup, hair, nail, and fashion looks in film, television, and more — and share insider tips and interviews with makeup, hair, and costume designers. An accomplished interviewer, I also host red carpets and junkets as the talent, producer and editor. And I work closely with brands like Netflix, HBO, Hulu, AMC, Apple TV, Verizon, Disney and more on sponsored content, set visits, and junket interviews. My viral content has led to global product sellouts - like when I broke the news on Wednesday’s lip pencil in the hit Netflix show — and has been picked up by publications like Good Morning America, CBS News, Refinery29, People, Glamour, E, Nylon, Buzzfeed, Bustle, and more.
