Fei Fei Sun Swears by Vitamin C and Red Lips

Chinese model Fei Fei Sun took on the normcore trend for W’s August 2014 story “Banal Plus,” but her beauty regimen is far from run-of-the-mill. Here, the 25-year-old model fills us in on her routine.

Your look: Natural skin and with a little bit of mascara.

Beauty from the inside out: I drink warm—never hot—water with honey and lemon. I also eat plenty of green vegetables.

Exercise regime: Pilates, running, and yoga.

Beauty essentials: Bioderma cleanser, Kiehls lip balm, and Créme de la Mer

Skincare secret: I wear sunscreen every day. Sometimes I use a hydrating honey cleanser. At work I have so many products on my face. Créme de la Mer fixes every skin problem.

Day to night look: I keep my hair very casual for daytime, and add a red lip for night.

Eyes or lips: Lips.

Air-dry or blowout: Air-dry.

Best advice from mom: To take care of my skin: clean my face—morning and night—every day, drink warm water, and take Vitamin C.

Best advice from the pros: I just learned that using toner mid-day gives you a fresh face without stripping your skin of the moisturizer you put on that morning. It’s perfect for summertime in New York.

Drugstore favorite: I love going to the pharmacy in Paris.

Fragrance of choice: Chanel No. 19.

Beauty icons: Audrey Hepburn.
