Lin, you are just beautiful! That's how I remember seeing you, and I miss seeing you!!

What a cutie you are, Lin!! You have such a sweet sparkle yet mischievous look to your eyes. Lots of energy there! They will forever keep you looking young. Thanks for sharing. Kathy

Face: 1 pump AL primer, Pink Creme Concealer under eyes and inner corners, light dusting of silk powder applied with flawless face brush, 4C/L Glissade with Kabuki, Firewoman Rocks! with fiber optic brush, touch of Plum Blossom Divine under brow arch, inner corners of eyes and touched on top of desired cheekbones, blended with flawless face brush - no more product, just blended. Spritzed with water. Eyes: mix of minerals applied to brows with damp angled brush, Bouganvillea Matte shadow, BlackOut gel liner applied with lip brush and black indelible mascara. Lips: Terra Mauve liner and Impatiens applied with brush



Same makeup as above, but I'm inside standing in front of a south facing window.




This is literally a 5 minute face Face: 1 pump AL primer, Pink Creme Concealer under eyes and inner corners, light dusting of silk powder applied with flawless face brush, 4C/L Glissade with Kabuki, Breathless Rocks! with fiber optic brush, touch of Plum Blossom Divine under brow arch, inner corners of eyes and touched on top of desired cheekbones, blended with flawless face brush - no more product, just blended. Spritzed with water. Eyes: mix of minerals applied to brows with damp angled brush, no shadow, BlackOut gel liner applied with AL's push brush and black indelible mascara. Lips: Impatiens lipstick blotted and topped with Lush gloss. Seriously, all this was applied fast and sloppy - I overslept and did this in a real hurry!



Wow, you guys are fast! You saw and replied before I figured out how to kinda do this! Don't know why these pics are so big - I swear I thought I resized them!

Lin - you look GORGEOUS! I love the last pic. You are such a happy-looking person I want to give you a hug

And in that second pic with makeup on, your eyes are so green! Really pretty!!!!

Great job!

Lin, you are just so beautiful in all your pics - your before shows all the sprak and light and mischievious attitude, and the afters just make that more apparent!

We love you, Lin!

You guys are so sweet! I swear I can't figure out why these pics are all so freakin BIG! I went through the resizing steps for every one of those pics. Yowza! I forgot to say this in my descriptions, but I never, ever go without Vo-lip-tuous! I just love that stuff. Lyndz, you saw me totally barefaced - I don't think I put anything on my face except sunscreen during that whole vacation. Geez, I wish I was there!

Lin - you are a glowing mama there. Nice, very nice.

It's about time us over-50's got some happening pics up (I should talk, I don't even have a camera ... yet).

Thanks for posting.

You look awesome, Lin, in ALL the photos. What a polished, pretty 5-minute face. And love that lip color on you.

Gorgeous, Lin. Your face just glows in the after shot, love it.

I just got back from sunset at Turtle Beach. You can see the sunset better there than you can at Siesta Beach. It was beautiful and I thought of you and Suzi, wishing you were here too. Maranda and I saw the green flash. Wade is pretty much color blind, so I don't think he ever will.

Anyway great post, Lin. I have to work on posting my B&A pics (I have to take them first). Maybe I'll borrow a camera.

You are so beautiful before make-up -- and very polished with make=up -- it really makes your gorgeous eyes stand out! And I love that lip color on you!

And it only took you 5 minutes?! To look that good on camera?!!! Dang, you are a goddess!

I agree with everyone else, you look great and you have a lovely smile!

You're sooo pretty! Thank you so much for posting your pics and the info about what you used. I truly appreciate it. From your pictures and they way you write, your personality reminds me of Paula Deen and I just love her. I'm so glad I met you here. You seem like such a great lady.
