Have you ever disapproved of any of your daughter’s beauty choices?
“No – Cheryl knows what’s flattering on her.”
Have you learnt any beauty tips from your daughter?
“She has taught me to be more disciplined – I use a face mask daily or at least on alternate days, and I do a hair mask treatment on a weekly basis. Cheryl also tells me not to eat after 7pm.”
You can’t stand your daughter’s…
“Diet – I feel that she eats too healthy and doesn’t eat enough!”
CHERYL WEE
What’s the best beauty advice your mother has given you?
“Eat fresh and nutritious food to nourish the body instead of popping vitamins. When you eat healthy, your body will respond positively.”
What’s the strangest thing your mother has told you?
“Nothing comes to mind – everything she’s said so far makes sense!”
Would you say your attitude towards beauty is similar to your mother’s?
“Not entirely – I’m more low-maintenance and she’s always immaculately groomed. It’s not because I don’t put in effort; I have eczema, so I’m allergic to a lot of the skincare and makeup on the market – and even certain fabric! – so I prefer a simple skincare routine and avoid wearing makeup whenever I can to keep flare-ups away.”
