8 Days|August 30, 2018

Oh c’mon DIANA SER! Like that’s ever gonna happen. The 46-year-old host, entrepreneur and mother to James Lye’s kids is looking better than ever, and she has a few tips on how to have it all.

I Don't Want To Look Like My Kids' Grandma!
Diana Ser is one of those women who look better and better as they age. At 46, her skin glows, her make-up is perfect and she’s so enviably slim, you wonder how she pushed out three kids, Jake, 12, Christy, 10 and Jayme, 7. In between hosting events and shows on TV, being a Tiger Mum to her three kids and creating content for her Mandarin learning portal, Crazy About Chinese, Diana found time to be the face of make-up brand Max Factor’s new campaign, which celebrates women and their life experiences.

8 DAYS: You’re fronting the You X Max Factor campaign, which celebrates beauty with depth. What is beauty with depth to you? 

DIANA SER: As a woman and a mother, the experience of having children and raising them, even if you didn’t give birth to them — is unique. Because you had to suffer to a certain extent, it builds resilience. That gives you depth. And professionally, when you gain experience and accumulate achievements, it makes you more confident and interesting. 

What’s your make-up motto: More is more or no-make-up make-up? 

At my age, more is more is out of the question. What I do is get my skin in good condition ’cos that really helps to cut down time. Gone are the days when I can just go out barefaced, like when I was in my 20s. Now, I need at least sunscreen, concealer and a bit of lipstick. A red lipstick is such an easy way to stand out and put some vibrancy in whatever you’re doing, but the wrong shade of red and suddenly you’re 55! 

If you could use just three items of make-up for the rest of your life, what would they be?
