Award-winning actress Rui En tells Lieu Wei Ning it’s the one look she’ll never sport again.

Her World: What are your beauty pet peeves?

Rui En: Thin eyebrows – one of the worst mistakes I’ve ever made. And smudged eyeliner.

Her World: What about your favoured beauty look?

Rui En: When I do use makeup, I tend to focus on the eyes – I like winged eyeliner and false lashes. But I’ve become more adventurous, and have experimented with coloured eyeliners for different looks.

Her World: What do you think is the fastest way to update your look using makeup?

Rui En: A swipe of red lipstick – it can make you look glamorous instantly.

Her World: How do you keep your makeup looking fresh when you’re filming or attending red-carpet events?

Rui En: By using the right primer and foundation. I quite like L’Oreal Paris Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer, which makes my pores appear smaller and my complexion smoother. I also like L’Oreal Paris True Match liquid foundation, which doesn’t feel thick and oily on my skin, and lasts throughout the day.

Her World: What’s in your makeup pouch right now?

Rui En: Quite a few L’Oreal Paris products, actually – Superliner Gelmatic Pen in black, Color Riche lipsticks in several colours (her favourite is Flaming Kiss), True Match Concealer, True Match Two-way Powder Foundation and a sunscreen – as well as a tube of Nuxe lip balm and a Bioderma sunscreen.

Her World: What’s your biggest beauty splurge?

Rui En: Perfumes. I collect them – I have about 200 bottles now – and spend way too much money buying new ones.

Her World: Any beauty secrets to share?

Rui En: I run – it makes my skin glow and is a great way to de-stress. I also make smoothies and drink plenty of water. A strict skincare routine plays a part too. I cleanse, tone, prep, treat, moisturize and use sunscreen. UV protection is extremely important in fighting skin ageing, so I always use a sunscreen under makeup. When I’m filming, I also use a sheet mask every night – usually while I’m going through my script.

Her World: You’ve been the face of L’Oreal Paris Youth Code Boosting essence for a year now. Do you have any unusual ways of using it?

Rui En: I use it as a boosting treatment under a sheet mask. I find this makes the mask more effective!
