5 mins with Ene by Elizabeth ole

Ene Maya Lawani is an ex-beauty queen of the Miss Nigeria pageant. She emerged as the
winner of the pageant in 2004, and her reign continued up until 2010 when the pageant
resumed operation, making her the queen with the longest reign in pageant history.

We have a quick chat with Ene on her beauty regime and her favourite products.

Your favourite make-up item is….
Lipsticks- I love a full red tinted lip. Mascara- I love long lashes, it makes more
emphasis on the eyes.

Your signature scent….
I’m a perfume freak! Smell is the most evocative of our senses. Your fragrance conjures
up an image of who you are. My signature scent has to be Eau du soir by Sisley.
I discovered this beautiful bottled perfume 2 years ago when I was in Paris. It’s a classic
French perfume. It is classified as a redefined woody mossy fragrance, this seems to
sensually sweep through me and headily lift my spirits like a drug.

What’s your beauty regimen?
I have a very strict beauty regimen which I try to follow religiously, because I feel its
imperative one takes care of your skin. A healthy looking and glowing skin serves as
the foundation to any outfit. I love to use Clarins products because they are made
from natural plant extracts. I cleanse, exfoliate, tone and moisturize.
