  "account": "Taipei, Aug 18 — Mandopop star Jay Chou experienced a unique twist when his four-year-old daughter Jacinda put on his makeup, transforming him into an unexpected canvas. The 47-year-old singer-songwriter shared the amusing family moment on social media after Jacinda expressed her desire to try cosmetics. Initially targeting his wife Hannah Quinlivan, Jay promptly obliged, taking center stage in his daughter's artistic endeavor. Jacinda enthusiastically grabbed tools from a makeup bag and began painting on her father, finding the experience liberating. Jay recalled the transformation, saying, \"I felt like she was grabbing whatever tool she saw; I was like a canvas that she could freely paint on.\" While he had a rough idea of the outcome, he was unprepared for the final result. Jay admitted, \"I couldn't help but swallow my cursing\" after seeing himself in the mirror. Jacinda eagerly sought approval, asking her father, \"Is it good?\" and receiving the response, \"It’s good.\" However, she continued her critique, declaring herself more beautiful than her father. Jay shared a photo of Jacinda's creation, with hashtags indicating it would not be published. Hannah, 33, expressed her desire to see the finished product, jokingly stating, \"Enough of this long-winded rambling, I just want to see the finished product.\" Jay and Hannah, married since January 2015, have three children: Hathaway, Romeo, and Jacinda, with this unique makeup incident involving their youngest daughter.",
