Sigma Beauty: What has been your most memorable experience since working as a makeup artist? 
TQ: I was fortunate enough to travel throughout China with Mr. Armani in celebration of the new store in Ginza and the launch of Armani Beauty in Asia. It reopened my eyes to the beauty of the Asian culture and the influence and impact that it has on the brand from both a fashion and beauty standpoint.

Sigma Beauty: What was your first makeup job?
TQ:
I was on set at a beauty campaign shoot for Broghesi in Milan and was able to get my first creative experience with makeup.

Sigma Beauty: In your opinion, what is the classiest makeup look that will always stand the test of time?
TQ:
The classic red lip, flawless skin, enhanced eyebrows and simple clean face will always radiate old Hollywood glamour.  It works on every age – from Liz Taylor to Amber Heard.

Sigma Beauty: Who has been your favorite celebrity client and why? 
TQ: Farrah Fawcett because she was beautiful inside and outside, and she had a playful spirit that always brought out the best in people.

Sigma Beauty: What are your favorite Sigma Beauty products? / How do you connect with the Sigma Beauty brand?
TQ:
I love the versatility of the brushes – they work with everything from foundation to liquid shimmers.  I use them backstage and in my editorial work and I always get rave reviews!
