- Heavy make-up is often necessary for my work, but otherwise I prefer light make-up in natural tones. The colors I wear for concerts are too dramatic for my liking.
- I protect my skin against the sun. Like all women who don't want freckles, I use cosmetics that contain a Sun Protection Factor.
- For a foundation, I prefer Clinique's Balanced Makeup Base. It improves my make-up even on days when my complexion isn't looking its best.
- Other personal favorite include Natique's facial powder, Covermark's make-up base, Clinique's light brown eyeshadows and Shu Uemura's grey eyeshadows and light brown blushes. For lipsticks, I prefer Covermark and M.A.C. I usually outline my lips first using a dark lip pencil, then I apply a light-colored lipstick and add a little powder to make the color last longer.
- I like doing my own make-up. After all, I know my face better than anyone else!
Keeping Fit
- I don't eat much, particularly at lunchtime. I tend to eat a little bit more in the evenings. Lots of people are turning to vegetarian at the moment, and I'm tempted to try that too but I wonder if the food will taste as good. I never diet to lose weight. I don't eat beef or mutton because the tastes don't agree with me, nor do I like the very popular sashimi and oysters. I eat desserts such as ice cream and chocolate in moderation.
- Mango is my favorite fruit; I also like honeydew melons, bananas, apples and oranges. Strawberries and kiwi are the only fruits I don't like.
- I don't take special foods to improve my health. Ordinary soups such as green and red turnip soup or salted duck egg and gourd soup are good enough for me. However, on days when my work is especially demanding and exhausting, a delicious bowl of abalone with bird's nest soup can make me forget my heavy workload.
- When it comes to exercise, I'm not the type to sweat it out for an hour or two in the gym. I prefer sports like table tennis and badminton. Actually, my busy schedule keeps me well-exercised - I simply have no time to get fat!
