Cyndi Wang epitomises the quintessential girl next door. Her signature look is easy on the eyes — and surprisingly easy to recreate. In celebration of her 39th birthday (5 September, 1982), we’ve rounded up 7 tips inspired by the Taiwanese Mandopop singer that will help you to master her effortless girl-next-door look.
The Taiwanese singer gave us a lesson in monochrome makeup. Using the same colour palette for your eyes, cheeks and lips creates a cohesive look. If you’re looking to warm up your skin tone, follow Cyndi’s lead and opt for peach-pink shades. Don’t know where to start? Lay all your makeup out and group products of the same colour family in pairs or trios.
We can’t take our eyes off the “My! Cyndi!” singer’s complexion, which is equal parts luminous and radiant. Steer clear of glittery highlighters when it comes to a barely-there look like this. Instead, add a touch of cream-based highlighter to the high planes of your face to impart a lit-from-within glow.
Cyndi is a great example of how wispy bangs can soften your look. The trick here is to ask your stylist for layered, angled bangs that won’t fall too heavily on your head.
Instead of wearing blush on the fleshy part of the cheeks, Cyndi typically opts for a higher blush placement. This is a good call as depositing colour higher up on the cheekbones themselves can create a “face-lifting” effect. Just make sure to blend all the way to blur harsh lines.
The “Smiling Pasta” star regularly sports this version of no-makeup makeup, It features a hydrating foundation, rosy tinted lip balm and slight feline flick along the outer corners of the eyes. To cop her look, create a thin and narrow flick with cream eyeliner and an angled brush.
A ponytail is both functional and impactful. Cyndi has perfected the undone ponytail, leaving some face-framing layers out of her high, voluminous hairdo.
To draw attention to her doe-eyes, Cyndi keeps her arches perfectly groomed and lashes curled with a few coats of mascara. The rest of her eye makeup is kept simple with a neutral peachy eyeshadow swept across her lids.
