(Ena: Speaking hypothetically if I were to take part as a blogger/press, I would prepare for Fashion Week about 1 month in advance, making sure I have my array of classic items to be matched with trendy / covetable fashion items. I might link up with my favourite brands and work out my various attires in advance. I will definitely select which shows to attend and then plan my schedule around it. I will also prepare interesting / dying questions to ask celebrity designers, models and artistes when I meet them. Of course, I’d make sure to charge and be armed with my trusty gadgets like IPhone and camera to capture and record all the flurry of Fashion Week. (; )
10) What is the best style advice you’ve ever been given and by whom?
I don’t think anyone has given me direct style advice, but I do check street style websites a lot to get ideas.
(Ena: It would be to be more adventurous in my style and given by my bestie, Bini. By far, Bini has the most unique and daring fashion sense amongst everyone I know irl.)
11) Do you have any tips for taking a good photo?
Just smile!
12) What is your fall skincare routine?
First I apply Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator because it’s gentle and gives my skin an amazing glow. For moisturizer, I love Hydrationist because it absorbs quickly and keeps my skin hydrated all day long.
(Ena: You can check out mine here: My Skincare Routine with Estée Lauder Refining Pore Minimizing )
13) What will be your go-to fall beauty look?
I absolutely love how modern and dramatic the colors are in the Estée Lauder Five Color Eyeshadow Palette from the Violet Underground Collection. Also, the new Double Wear Two Tone Zero-Smudge Eye-Opening Mascara is great because the brushes are designed specifically for Asian women’s lashes.
14) What was your favorite part of the beauty look from the Derek Lam Fall 2012 show?
I really loved the undereye part where they painted fake eyelashes onto the skin-it was a really cool effect.
15) What is the best makeup tip you received from Tom Pecheux?
Tom taught me that I should always have two colors of foundation ready, so I can mix them together to get the exact right color. Also, before you apply a dark eyeshadow, always put on mascara first because it helps prevent the eyeshadow from falling onto the bottom part of your eye!
16) What is your favorite part of being an Estée Lauder spokesmodel?
There are too many to name, but I love that I learn so many beauty tips and feel like a part of a family. Also, I met wonderful friends like my fellow spokesmodels, and I will cherish their friendship forever.
(Ena: Similarly, there’s too many to name. I’m not an Estée Lauder spokesmodel per se, but as an Estée Lauder Social Media Advocate, I love receiving new Estée Lauder skincare and makeup products which have become an integral part of my lifestyle. It has acquainted me with other advocates like Jac, allowed me to bring my friends to makeovers, given me so much content to share with my readers and increased the interest I have for skincare and makeup. Thank you Estée Lauder Singapore! )
17) What are you listening to on your ipod?
Lana del Rey, Adele and Chinese artists like Fan Weiqi.
(Ena: Song of the moment most probably Good Time by Carly Rae Jepson & Owl Time. My most recent songs on repeat are Primmadonna, Wild One & Chasing the Sun. I also like songs by Fan Weiqi, especially 一比一 。
18) What is your new favorite restaurant and where is it?
ABC Kitchen! It’s here in New York.
19) Did you have a nickname growing up?
I didn’t really have one, but my mom always called me “bao bei,” which is “honey” or “baby” in Chinese.
( Ena: My mum calls me “En-ah!” which is a short form of my mandarin name Jia En, and my friends also call me Ernie and En. )
