I spent part of my day with Tim Quinn, Giorgio Armani's best-known ambassador and makeup artist to the celebrity world. It's always a privilege to have my makeup perfected by Tim, and it was especially sweet today because he was in great demand at Neiman Marcus.
I'll admit, I admire Tim Quinn. Not only is he talented - I think he qualifies as a celebrity himself - he is a really nice person, one who often gives back at charity events. Tim is "real," fun, and easygoing. As I watched him work with the dozens of women who were there at any one time, I saw smiles and pretty faces. Just one example below...I watched Tim transform a pretty gal to a gorgeous one as he applied her makeup. Doesn't she remind you of Katie Holmes?

You look GREAT!
You are sweet, Flyavsted!
Thank you, Sharon! He made my eyes look picture-worthy.
Thanks, Nida!
Thanks, MamaVal.
I think I have just as much fun talking with Tim as I do seeing the results of his artistry.
PLEASE, C-girl, you look wonderful and radiant, and that jacket is beautiful on you.
Where was Tim when I was getting my Armani makeover? Sighhhh
Charlestongirl, you are one sexy sexagenarian! And, you have great style, too. One glance at you and it is easy to see that you are an Armani kind of gal :-) One of the things I love about your blog as opposed to blogs specifically for over forty, over fifty, etc. is that you focus on beautiful cosmetics of exceptional quality and age be damned! Each and every decade has its own special beauty and the trick to looking good is knowing how to capitalize on it. You obviously have that down pat because you always look great. I'm sure MA's love working on you because you being knowledge, appreciation, and keen interest to the game. And then, you share that with us :-)
Hi Lovethescents,
Who did your Armani makeover? What it Rhona? She is geat!
Eileen, did you really recognize the Armani jacket? :) I wore it for Tim.
Thanks for the kind words.
Please don't put yourself down. We appreciate you for YOU and besides that, you're gorg! Everyone always sees their own flaws that others don't. I can say that - I'm a portrait photographer.
We love seeing you!!!
Oh, Charleston Girl, you are too beautiful and good hearted not to smile! Wrinkles and lines from smiling show your humor and love of life. If I did see any lines and if I thought badly about your visage because of them, then I have a vain mind that needs help. How can anyone live 40, 50 or 60 years and not have a wrinkle or line or a droop? Gravitational pull works on us all. Nobody likes too much droop or too many lines. The alternative is not to live or express our feelings at all. A face without a line is a mask.
You shouldn't feel that way about posting pictures of yourself! You are beautiful and have a great personality that shines through. I enjoy reading your blog and hope your mother continues to do well. KatherynR. McRae, GA
You're beautiful, CG! Work it!
Lovely lovely lovely lady inside and out. You look great :)

I am 62 & love your blog. I'm in great shape, mountain bike, spin class etc and love makeup and fashion. I've made my two daughters promise to let me know if I look like I'm trying too hard or wearing stuff too young for me( and they would).That said, I want you to know I bring YOUR bio photo with me when I get my haircut, because I love the way it looks and want a similar style. And my hairdresser approves. You know what they say about imitation and flattery!
We always love having you join us and you always look fabulous!
The only thing I see is a beautiful lady. I swear store lighting is meant to make us look awful so we buy more makeup. lol
I need you, Delacotta! I portrait photographer knows how to do lighting! Thanks. :)
Hi Vanessa,
When I look at the lines in my forehead that show so much when I smile, I think about Paul Ryan and how badly he needs Botox. No, I would never do it (the idea of toxic injections doesn't appeal to me), but politicians (always in the public eye) who are prematurely aging should consider it. I noticed at the debate that his forehead lines were deep. And he wasn't smiling. :)
Thank you, Katheryn. If I wasn't feeling good after I saw Tim, all of you have pumped me up!
Rosemary, you are a hoot. "Work it." That would have been an entirely different pose.
Thank you, dear Claudia!
Thank you, Anonymous!
Evelyn! I think you've stumbled onto something I had never considered. Maybe it is all designed to make us look bad. If that's the case, though, do they have a secret lighting button they push after they beautify us? :)
Thanks, Neens! Tell your stylist it's a simple bob with long layers to give it some body at the bottom.
I can make those layers turn forward, back, up, or under, depending on how much time I have.
No, Charlestongirl, it was someone local who works for Armani....I think her name was Josee.
Definitely not one of the nationals, Lovethescents.
You are stunning and I love seeing pictures of your on your blog (that I read daily!)
Thank you, Lizzy! You are all so sweet.
CG, if you're still reading these posts- I agree with each and every comment. I love when you post pictures of yourself. I think you are classy and pretty. Your eyes really stand out in your photo. I also love your Armani jacket. It looks so pretty on you!
I think the learning process is so fun. That was what I enjoyed so much about working with Bobbi Brown - educating women to do several simple steps to make them feel better and prettier. Even tho' we've got it down, there are a LOT of women out there who are intimidated by makeup...and your blog helps IMMENSELY!
