In other Lancôme-related news, a new short advert for ‘Blanc Expert’ has popped up in South Korea. It’s been uploaded onto Youtube; there are a couple of new shots of Emma posing for Mario Testino in the short clip.

“Hi Channel Young! I’m Emma Watson. I’m here today for Lancôme and I hope you’re having a great, great Christmas and wonderful celebrations. Thank you so much!”

“Yeah, I’m usually in a rush so I try and do everything quite quickly, but I don’t like the feeling of wearing too much stuff on my face. I think that’s one of the good things about Lancôme products, they don’t feel too heavy, they have a very light textures, they’re very breathable, and I’m always very careful about wearing sun protection and very, very careful about taking make-up off at night. Those are the main things I’m really, really careful about.”

“During the day I don’t wear too much but if I’m going out at night I’ll wear a sort of a very light foundation … the Miracle Compact is really good for that because it’s not really thick and you see the skin underneath, which is really nice. I think you have to do it in a way that says fun and just enjoy the process of getting ready. I always put on music, I light candles, I have friends with me … I make a whole thing out of it. Sometimes I enjoy the getting ‘ready part’ of my evening more than the going out part, which is a bit worrying, but I really enjoy that whole ritual.”

“More than anything I think fashion just has to be something that’s fun, if it’s not fun there’s no point in it really. It has to be something you enjoy and that makes you feel good and makes you feel comfortable, so I really focus on that. And yeah, just experimenting and being creative with it.”

A behind-the-scenes photo was also released.

Elle Taiwan also had a quick interview-type thing with Emma while she was in Hong Kong. According to the article (and a quick Google Translate that was as truncated as ever), Emma will continue to be the face of Lancôme in 2012 and enjoys using Lancôme’s ‘Expert’ line as it gives a natural look that doesn’t look like it’s caked on; she also mentioned that the product covers her flaws and blemishes effortlessly and provides “100 per cent coverage”.

Emma wore a backless blue Ellie Saab dress and silver Jimmy Choo sandal pumps to the dinner.

Big thank you to Hillie at Saorise Ronan Web and Adoring-Emma@LJ for the clearer shots from the night! Please refer to our previous post for more photos from Emma’s promotions in Hong Kong.

“This is my first time to Hong Kong… this is my second time to Hong Kong. I came a few years ago and I absolutely love the city. I always love traveling in Asia. It has such an amazing and really interesting culture and history. I love the landscape. It’s a very urban city.”

Emma’s rumoured next stop will be at the Dubai International Film Festival for the premiere of “My Week With Marilyn”, along with co-stars Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh and Judi Dench. See more about this event.

A few blurry photos from her first and second day (assumptions on my part; different outfits) promotions have been uploaded to the galleries; the first event, with Emma wearing a frilly white summer dress, was a luncheon launch party (?), while the second event, with Emma wearing a glittery backless little black dress, is from the V.I.P. Lancôme Dinner.

An interview from the red carpet can be seen here on our Youtube page. In the interview, Emma talks about her time in Hong Kong, her work with Lancôme, gives some advice for her younger fans and speaks a little Cantonese.

“This is my first time to Hong Kong… this is my second time to Hong Kong. I came a few years ago and I absolutely love the city. I always love traveling in Asia. It has such an amazing and really interesting culture and history. I love the landscape. It’s a very urban city.”

“I’ve been working today. I did go out last night. This is my second time to the city. I managed to do a lot of sightseeing the last time I was here.”

“Just try to be true to who you are and do the best to feel comfortable in your own skin. You are alright exactly as you are.”

“I’ve never learned how to speak Cantonese. I would love to. It’s even the… I love the writing. It’s so beautiful and intricate.”

Hopefully, clearer photos will be released soon. So far, photos and news are kudos to: jennydemon@tumblr, damnkathy@tumblr, clairerafliff32@twitter. Please feel free to correct any of the above information – I’m working from choppy Google Translator articles, tumblr reblogs and nothing much else!

Also, two dozen new high quality photos of Emma at the London premiere of “My Week With Marilyn” have been added into the galleries. Aaaaaaaand that brings out high quality total for the evening up to 206! I don’t know about you guys, but I think that’s just enough, no?

In related news, the head costume designer on the set of “My Week With Marilyn” spoke recently to Instyle.co.uk about her project; in the interview, she talks about her inspiration for Lucy’s (Emma’s character) wardrobe and how she came about creating it.

“I’m studying and really excited about my next projects,” she said. “I can’t really talk about them right now, but I am going to try and fit in some film projects next year in between school.”

In My Week with Marilyn, which stars Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe, Watson plays Monroe’s wardrobe assistant, Lucy. After the Harry Potter films, she was thrilled to take a role that wasn’t quite as high profile.

“I loved it,” she said. “It was less pressure, but at the same time it was an interesting role, although it was a small role. I loved the script and loved the story, and I’m very interested in Marilyn, so I really wanted to do it.”

And Emma Watson’s character comes across as slightly naïve but fashion conscious. How did you go about defining her character through costume?
I’d found, in my research, an original cast and crew photograph of The Prince and the Showgirl. Emma was based on a real character and so there was a girl, or a couple of girls, that we could have chosen [from the photograph] so I just picked up on one girl and I based Emma on her because she feasibly could’ve been her. She was wearing a tartan dress, so I found Emma an original tartan dress – all of Emma’s clothes were vintage. I also wanted to introduce a touch of the American influence with Emma because the youth culture was just hitting at that period and we had Jimmy Dean, Marlon Brando, Sandra Dee. I wanted to pick up on that Sandra Dee type of character.
