Netizens Say Elaine Yiu’s “Not The Same Person” After Comparing Pics Of Her Now And From 2005

So, is this a case of the classic nip and tuck, or just better make-up skills? Hongkong netizens seem to have made their conclusion after seeing this throwback video of TVB actress Elaine Yiu from 2005.

The 41-year-old, who made her showbiz debut in 2002, recently reunited onscreen with Hongkong actor Ron Ng, 42, in Flying Tiger 3.

Unfortunately, their reel-life relationship did not end well, with no happily-ever-after ending for Elaine and Ron’s character.

Love's not on the cards for them

To hype up their ‘failed' relationship, TVB posted a throwback video of Elaine and Ron in 2005 drama, Revolving Doors of Vengeance, sharing that this is not the first time the stars saw their onscreen relationship ended on less-than-ideal terms.

But it seems like romance is the last thing netizens are thinking about.

In the comments section of the video, netizens were all abuzz about how Elaine’s appearance has changed over the years.

That's so 2005

In Revolving Door of Vengeance, a fresh-faced, 23-year-old Elaine sports super light make-up, with the signature thin eyebrows of the noughties.

Same same but different?

In contrast, in Flying Tiger 3, Elaine sports heavier make-up and a more coiffed hairdo, to suit her character.

But instead of praising the actress for her glow-up, netizens could not help but wonder if Elaine got some extra help to boost her appearance.

Here's a comparison pic to help you out

“The difference between Elaine’s looks [over the years] is so obvious,” one netizen commented, while another went for the jugular, writing: “It's not the same person [at all].”

Of course, there were some who disagreed, writing that Elaine pretty much looks the same, and that she looks different because of make-up and better styling.

So, what’s your verdict? Make-up, or surgery?

Looking good either way
