About Me

My name is Sophia, and I am in my early 30s. I am from Singapore and I am the sole writer of this blog.

About this Blog

I started this blog 5 years ago to share my love for makeup, I like to use a wide range of brands though I seem to have a growing preference for higher-end brands in recent years. I also like to share interesting things I have come across about makeup and beauty.

Currently The Makeup Blogette receives 39,000 unique views monthly, and about 1.5 million as of Nov 2011.

My Makeup Style

I like classic looks (neutral tones on eyes, anything goes for lips & cheeks), though occasionally I try out dramatic/ statement looks.  I believe that a flawless base is the key to achieving great makeup looks.  I also believe that if you don't have great skin to start with, fake it with a good foundation routine, and even greater skincare.  I am currently loving Clarins & Lancome skincare products, and Vichy NormaDerm for tackling with breakouts.

What Cameras do I use?

Most of the pictures you see in post 2010 entries are taken with my Canon G-11.  Previously I was using Canon Ixus 80.  I do post some pictures which are taken with my iphone4 which I will state in that particular entry.  I have stopped watermarking my pictures as of 2011, because I think watermarks are ugly in general, and does not prevent people from stealing my pictures if they wish to.  I just take it as a compliment that my pictures are even worth stealing in the first place. I might look into getting a Canon EOS next year, not just for blogging purposes, but I also like photography in general.

My Favourite Makeup Brand(s)

It is hard to name just one, but I like NARS, Chanel, Illamasqua and the ocasional Guerlain, Dior & Urban Decay item.  I own quite a stash of MAC items, but recently I have stopped catching up with their collections, and I much prefer to splurge on a few really outstanding items.

Where to find me

Twitter (link button above!)  Email (stated above!)  Instagram (makeup_blogette)

I have no official Facebook fan page, and currently have no intention to start one at all.  The Makeup Blogette remains my personal hobby and property, so as such, I don't believe in having a Facebook fanpage for it.

Final Disclaimer

I bought/ paid for all of the products mentioned in this blog. I am not affliated to any company. If certain products are sent to me for review purposes, I will say so and express my honest opinions about them. In any case, I will only review and showcase the products which I have personally tried and tested, and enjoy using. I do not get paid to review anything.

No ads, no paid links etc please.  I am in charge of all content and pictures here.

I am not a makeup artist, nor do I have any professional training in makeup.

    [CLOSED] 700 FOLLOWERS CONTEST: What's in My Makeup Bag?

     

     

    Hi everyone,

    this is a tag, and also a contest.  Do this tag, and you may stand to win some great stuff, have fun reading this entry, and at the end of this entry, will be the rules and regulations:

    I was twittering the other day, about how, for someone who doesn't apply lipstick all that much on a regular basis, I suddenly accumulated a bunch of lipsticks in my makeup bag.  I started using this bag only recently, even though I got it a long time back from shopbop.com.  It is a Marc Jacobs nylon pouch.  The material and all is very tough, and I like to throw all my little loose items into this pouch so they won't get lost in my bag.

    Let's see what's inside:

    List of items inside:

    Clarins Hydra Luminious Flawless Powder Foundation: for touch ups

    YSL Rouge Pur 148 Tea Rose

    Maquillage Gloss Rouge PK715

    Chanel Rouge Allure Genial 187

    NARS Belle Du Jour

    MAC Viva Glam Gaga

    Eye Drops

    MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer which I apply with a brush *I am soooo spotty these days! ARGH

    MUFE Concealer Palette

    What should be inside, but they are stuffed in my purse now:

    Tissue paper

    Facial Blotter

     

    So I tag everyone to do this, and also recently, this little blogette reached 705 followers...and as always, big big thanks to everyone!

    Rules and regulations:

    1. Open to all internationally.
    2. You can do the tag in the form of a blog entry, or as a comment below. If you do a blog entry, include the link in the comment section below.
    3. There will be 2 or 3 prizes which I will reveal at the end of this entry.
    4. Contest tag will end NOVEMBER 15 2010.
    5. Winners will be picked at my discretion, either by Random.org, or I will consult my cronies too.

    THREE PRIZES TO BE WON BY THREE LUCKY WINNERS:

    1. Your Choice of a MAC Lipstick
    2. Your Choice of a MAC Blush
    3. KATE Gel Eyeshadow and Pencil Eyeshadow

     

    Have fun, and thanks for taking part!

    Don't we love the makeup blogette?  :)

    For some reason I stopped carrying my makeup pouch around. Now I just chuck a couple of items into a side pocket of my bag if need be. I guess I realised that I don't touch up outside because once the makeup and everything sets on my face it tends to be a little dry even after a light misting from the evian spray. So I feel like every time I touch up it doesn't look as good as when I do it after my moisturising steps at home haha.

    But what I do tote around with me frequently are these:

    Cotton Buds
    Guardian Facial Makeup Remover Wipes
    ICM's Aqueous Cream Moisturiser
    Bourjois Healthy Mix Correcting Concealer in 52 (tad too fair)
    ZA Concealer Perfection in 03 (tad too tan)
    Stage Liquid Liner in 02 Woodstock
    Stage Eye Liner in 02 Broadway Brown

    Stage Wonderluxe Lipstick in 05 Walnut Wonder (Depotted and used as blush and/or lip colour)
    NYX Round Lipstick in B52 (used as blush)
    Stage Wonderlust Lipstick in 04 Naomi (used as lip colour. and in my name too haha, cheap thrill)

    and yes I love the Makeup Blogette :] Congrats on the 706 followers!
