49 going on 21: How to recreate Fann Wong’s beauty looks

The passing of time is just an inevitable fact of life. People age as the years go by, there’s no escaping from this harsh reality. Well, unless you are Fann Wong.

It may have been more than two decades since Singaporean actress Fann Wong captured our hearts as Xiao Long Nu in “The Return of the Condor Heroes,” but she could still play the role, looking as youthful now as she did in 1998.

The celeb mum (she has a four-year-old son together with husband and fellow actor Christopher Lee) who turns 49 on the January 27 still maintains the lit-from-within glow she had in her early acting days.

Instead of just admiring her mind-boggling youthfulness from afar, here are some of her stunning youthful makeup looks and tips on how to recreate them.

Pink pout

Pink lips are so on trend these days. They bring out the glow from your cheeky blush while adding a pop of colour to your makeup look without having to go all glam. Whether it’s matte lips or lips with a glossy finish, pink is a colour that’s bound to make you look effortlessly youthful.

To recreate Fann Wong’s pink pout, find a shade of pink that matches your skin tone (here’s our guide on choosing the perfect shade of pink for your skintone). Since her skin is fair, she went for a lighter, brighter shade of pink. If you have a darker skin tone, opt for a slightly darker, mauve pink so the colour doesn’t wash you out. Just remember to apply lip balm beforehand to ensure your lips stay moisturised all day.

Straight-cut bangs

Fann Wong can pull off just about any hairdo, but our favourite is the classic straight-cut bangs that helps to bring out her youthfulness. We love how it falls effortlessly below her brows to help frame her face.

To get that look, get your hairstylist to cut you some layered and wispy bangs. If you’re worried about it being too long, have your bangs land just above your eyebrows for good measure. And before you head out everyday, grab some dry shampoo to spritz on your roots so your hair looks fresh all day.

Braided bangs

If you are looking for a fresh new look to welcome 2020 but don’t really want anything too dramatic, follow Fann’s lead and braid your bangs.

This simple hairdo is not only the perfect remedy for a bad hair day, it also makes for a great look for those who are growing out their bangs.

The key to making this look nice and clean is to keep your part in place. To do this, make sure to only add hair from the section around your hairline. Once you are at the temple you can continue to braid the section regularly. Fasten the ends with bobby pins so your braids last all day.

Scarlett lips

Though a pink-toned, rosy nude is usually Fann’s go-to hue, her bold red lip packs just as much punch, and adds an unexpected yet elegant twist. This look transitions easily from day to night so you could go from the office to a party without having to pull out your entire makeup bag.

To achieve this look, prep your lips by exfoliating them with a lip scrub that will slough away the dead skin so your lipstick goes on smoothly. Next, outline your lips with a lip liner that matches the shade of your lippie. With a small lip brush, apply the pop of colour to your lips. To really make your pout stand out, line the outside of the lip colour with a cream concealer to clean up the edges of the lips.

Wide-eyed wanderer

As we scroll through Fann’s Instagram page, her wide eyes are always capturing our attention as they tend to make her look younger and more awake. And although some of us may be born with smaller eyes, we can still take down some tips on how to make them stand out more.

So if you want brighten up your peepers, borrow a leaf out of Fann’s beauty book and apply highlighter or a shimmery light eyeshadow in the inner corner. This helps to amp up your makeup look and help you to look more awake. Grab your favourite volumising mascara too and curl both top and bottom lashes to complete your eye look.

V-shaped beauty

A v-shaped visage is coveted by many, especially in Asia. Just take a cue from Fann Wong herself.

The v-shaped face shape helps to impart a youthful appearance and accentuates your facial features. This face shape has gotten so popular, many actually go under the knife to achieve the look.

If you’re not quite ready to get a nip and tuck, create the illusion of a slimmer face by contouring your hairline. Doing so would not only help to add definition to the face, it’ll also help to create the illusion of thicker and fuller hair.

You can use an eyeshadow that matches your hair colour and a small fluffy brush to shade all around your hairline.

Arch angel

While the celeb keeps her eye makeup to a minimum, her brows are full to frame her face. She tends to gravitate towards a straighter brow. If you’re recreating her look, refrain from getting rid of the arch completely.

You can tweeze a couple of strands from the highest tip of the arch for a rounded effect. With a light hand, fill in your brows such that you cancel out the arch. One thing to bear in mind is to use lesser product on the inner corners as it could make your brows look too overdone and unnatural.

Mochi skin

To master the star’s mochi skin look, you have to commit to a solid skincare routine. This doesn’t mean you need to splash out on an elaborate 10-step routine. Instead, focus on your cleansing your face thoroughly and moisturising your skin.

When we caught up with the veteran actress, she told us that she is extremely meticulous with her makeup removal.

She first starts off by cleansing her skin twice with the same oil cleanser before gently removing her makeup with a foaming cleanser. Once you have your skincare routine down pat, you can give your face one last glowing touch by lightly dusting your face with an illuminating powder.
