• When we speak about Disrupt Aging at AARP, it represents living your best life at
any age. Whether you are 18 or 100 nothing should stand in your way of

contributing to a productive, purpose-filled and meaningful life. So regardless of
where you are on your life’s journey – through good times and not so - we all have
the opportunity and duty to be everything and anything we choose. Our
conversation today, “Fine At Any Age” will share, through personal stories, how
to shine our brightest beauty, inside and out, and view ourselves as the vessel of

change that can then impact the lives of those around us. How can we be better
gifts to ourselves so that we can make the lives of others better?

• What do superstars Queen Latifah, Kerry Washington, Jennifer Hudson and
supermodels Tyra Banks, Iman and Naomi Campbell all have in common? They’ve
relied on the expert hand of makeup artist, Sam Fine, to look their most glamorous.
That’s because Fine knows that the key to making up goes beyond painting a pretty
face. Long before he became a celebrity makeup artist, the Chicago native paid his

dues working behind the makeup counter of department stores, an experience he
fondly refers to as “the real school of beauty.”

• Fine’s talent and determination has taken him far from the makeup counter,
making him one of today’s most sought after makeup artists. His work has appeared
on the covers and pages of Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar, Essence, Vibe and Marie
Claire and was chosen as the first African - American spokesperson for Revlon and
Covergirl Cosmetics. His first book, Fine Beauty: Beauty Basics and Beyond for African -

American Women, is a how-to guide that highlights his many accomplishments. His
follow-up best seller, Fine Beauty, introduced his first instructional DVD, Fine: The
Basics of Beauty, a continuation of his commitment to educate women of color on

the “fine” art of makeup, to address a myriad of beauty challenges.
