<p>Popular makeup artist Kevin Chou (周士杰) shared his tips for looking beautiful and attractive at the Extension Division for Inservice and Continuing Education building tonight.</p>
<p>Chou told an audience of 75 people, mostly female students and office ladies that being beautiful and attractive was not as difficult and financially demanding as it seemed.</p>
<p>"Seeking beauty should not be a burden,” Chou said. “It can, in fact, be achieved through very simple means.”</p>
<p>Chou said that instead of heavy makeup, simplicity and cleanness were often what gave one the edge on important occasions such as dates or job interviews.</p>
<p>"Sometimes, just being yourself suffices,” Chou said. “Employers will appreciate your orderliness, while lovers will enjoy your true self.”</p>
<p>In this respect, Chou explained that understanding and protecting one’s skin was a must, and that some simple tasks could achieve this. He advised his audience to avoid pressure, which could cause rapid deterioration, and to keep nurturing the skin by regularly drinking water, among other tips.</p>
<p>Chou concluded his speech by encouraging his audience to look for beautiful landscapes in nature or art work in galleries, in order to develop artistic senses.</p>
<p>"The meaning of beauty should not be dictated by anyone,” Chou said. “It should come directly from one’s own experiencing of beautiful things in life.”</p>
<p>Chou, frequently seen on TV show Wqueen (女人我最大), is a long-time makeup expert, the author of two books, and the product research director of his own brand of cosmetics, Beautymaker.</p>
<p>Chou’s speech had the particularity of being the first event organized by the Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS) Industry Research Center. College of Management dean Andy Chen (陳文華) expressed his satisfaction following the event.</p>
<p>"I hope more events like this will be organized in the future, so that more people will be interested in what we do,” Chen said.</p>
