Lucy Liu’s Beauty Tips(刘玉玲的Beauty Tips)

The darkhorse in a stampede of sun-kissed curls, Lucy Liu's ebony mane sets her apartfrom the typical Hollywood leading lady."My hair is so dark that I'd have to bleach it to add color, so I neverdye it," she says. From long, sexy locks on Ally McBeal to razor-straightstyles that whip around as she side-kicks and slices her way through Charlie'sAngels and Kill Bill, Liu's hair practically plays a supporting role. This fallshe returns to television as publishing exec Mia Mason on ABC's Cashmere Mafia.With a wavy bob (thanks to a grown-out perm), Liu, 38, embraces her girlierside. "When my hair was longer, people didn't come up and talk tome," she says. "Now they find me more approachable."
What's yourearliest beauty memory?
I used to watch my mom put makeup on, and we would go to the five-and-dimestore and experiment with whatever makeup was there. It was basically L'Oréallipstick—which is funny, because I still use it.
So is your mom yourbeauty guru?
No, now she's coming to me for tips. She sees how amazing my makeup looks, butit's not me. It's the people putting it on. I really like to keep my skinclean. I use just a little concealer. I don't even put on sunscreen, but Idon't sit in the sun either.
No sunscreen! How do you keep your skin so young and smooth?
I drink a lot of water, and I've never had coffee. I think caffeine can bereally bad for your skin. And I don't get facials, ever.
Why don't you getfacials?
I think they damage your skin. People are getting peels and dermabrasion, andanything with the word "abrasion" doesn't work for me. I also think alot of plastic surgery hurts your skin.
Do you always carry around twodifferent eye liners?
Yes. The liquid liner is for above the eye, and the pencil is for inside theeye. But I rarely use the pencil unless I'm going out. If you put liquid lineron during the day and then add pencil to the inner rims at night, it glams itup.
What about your hair? How do youkeep it so shiny?
I alternate between Dr. Bronner's All in One soap, Davines and Prawductfor shampoo and different conditioners like Pantene. I love herbal scentsbecause I'm a little bit allergic [to fragrance]. If I walk into a store andit's all perfume, it's too much. And I let my hair air dry. I rarely blow-dry—Idon't have time.
You sound very lowmaintenance. Do you have any beauty indulgences?
I splurge on acupuncture. It'spreventative medicine: You go in once a month, and you get a little checkup soyou're regulated. It keeps you healthy. My parents used to get acupuncture. Ithas been a part of my culture and my life for a long time, and it really,really works. It can help you lose weight, it can help your skin stay young—andI've found it helps with jet lag. [Acupuncturists] look at your tongue and willsay: "All right, you're drinking too much" or "You're emotional,aren't you?"
How else do youstay healthy? Do you still practice martial arts?
I just trained for the movies. But I lovegoing hiking, and now because I'm [filming in New York City], I go biking. People can seeme on the street—I'm not biking that fast. It's just good exercise, and you getaround quickly. It's like being on a horse or a motorcycle because you'reoutside.
What aboutAquaphor? I've heard you're obsessed.
I use it for everything. It's not too glossy, so I wear it when I do moviesbecause it looks really natural. I always carry a mini with me. And if I fall,which I do a lot—I generally skid—I'll put it on my [scrapes]. When I wasshooting a movie in Montreal,it was freezing. If you take a little bit of Aquaphor and dab it on your face,it keeps your skin looking fresh. I dubbed it Aqua for Everything.
