Ruby Lin Impersonator Shocks Netizens When She Forgets To Turn On Beauty Filter During Live Stream

While she initially called herself “Little Ruby Lin”, she eventually changed her name to “Xia Ziwei”, you know like the My Fair Princess character, after a lawyer told her that she could get sued for impersonating the actress.

Recently, she held her first live stream session to sell some products. However, it turned out to be a huge failure.

Screenshots from the live stream were quickly posted by netizens, who revealed that the influencer appeared to have forgotten to switch on her device’s beauty filter before going live.

And guess what? She looked nothing like Ruby.

“Beauty filters these days are way too powerful,” commented one netizen, while another urged her to quickly “turn on her beauty filter” fearing that she would lose fans.

The influencer later said that the reason she looked so different during the live stream was ‘cos her make-up artist “made [her] uglier” on purpose.

Netizens, however, did not buy her excuses.

“This is not Xia Ziwei (夏紫薇), rather, it’s Frightful Ziwei (吓紫薇),” wrote one particularly punny netizen.
