Deborah and JoJami at the More Re-invention convention!
Last week Deborah and I started working on what to wear to the More Re-Invention Convention and we picked out several outfits…
Here is what we ended up wearing and why:
- Dash of color: Wanted to stand out.
- A Jacket: Always looks professional
- Heels: makes the legs look longer!
- Deborah added a Suzi Roeher belt to nip in her waist.
- JoJami opted for back fishnets to add some “zing” to her outfit.
- Deborah accessorized with a black crystal and gold necklace.
- JJ added a scarf! and thick leather wrap belt.
JJ’s jacket is from Anthropology, fishents from White House Black Market, shoes Ashley Austin.
Tim Quinn, Armani make up expert
What can you do to look younger and updated when it comes to make-up?
It turns out that there was plenty of re-invention and inspiration going on this year at the NYC More conference!
So who better to chat up than, celebrity make up artist for Armani, Tim Quinn while he was preparing for the Beauty Intervention workshop.
Glam Gals: Hi Tim, what can you tell us about fall lip color?
TQ: We are moving away from the “nude” lip and doing lots of plum and mauve. Of course for holiday, red is always popular, but you will want to use a Coral Red vs. a deep red.
Glam Gals: Many of us are seeing that our necks are starting to loose their elasticity, any tips for that?
TQ: Really all you can do is to make sure to moisturize and keep out of the sun!
Glam Gals: What other common mistakes do you see women making?
TQ: You need to change the way you apply blush after 40. Don’t focus on the apple of the cheek, instead apply it higher and up on the top of the cheekbone. Then swipe up and blend toward the hairline. Also don’t be afraid to try a bronzer and use it for softening the jaw line and brighting up the face!
Tim recommended this eye cream from Armani, Creama Nera
Glam Gals: What is your favorite product these days?
TQ: I absolutely adore our new eyecream, Creama Nera. It can be applied under or over your foundation. It even comes with a little mirror so you can dab it on at anytime during the day to keep up with moisturizing! It gives you a little dewey glow that is very youthful!
Glam Gals: We are noticing that our eye lashes and eyebrows are starting to thin as we age, HELP!
TQ:There are some great products out there and they really do work, my favorite is NuLash.
Thanks Tim… it is always get to see you!!!
Deborah is deciding between pants and a dress????
We Glam Gals are super excited to be once again getting ready to attend the More Re-Invention Convention that is being held this coming Monday, Oct. 18, in NYC.
JoJami picks...Will it be blue snake skin or corporate ruffle?
If you don’t have your ticket yet, it is not too late…you can still register for it!
That is the easy part…the hard part is “What to wear to this networking event ?”
We have been playing around in our closets and here are a few of the things we have come up with!
We are going to be in a sea of dynamic over 40 women we want to look “Wow!” That is why we have ruled out boring black. We want to wear color and to look friendly and apporoachable.
Feel free to tell us what you think!
