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 in 2006, 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 or 2,238,932 views and counting.

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.

    Inglot Eyeshadow Swatches #414, #454, #06, #393 & #395

    Hi hi!

    I bought 2 palettes at the Inglot Store, but in different combinations,

    the first palette contains 1 blush, and 3 eyeshadows - which will all be swatched in this entry.

    the second palette contains 5 eyeshadows.

    With their Freedom System, you can customise and pick whatever colors you want and have them all into a palette.

    These five color pans costs USD30 each.  [palette comes with the eyeshadows you choose]

    Seriously, the awesome thing about being able to shop in store is that I got to swatch the colorsfeel their texture, and I ended up with these shades which I felt were 'unique' enough, and also practical enough for me to just slap on without much though.  I also tend to lean towards the eyeshadows with creamy smooth texture, as I learnt from my previous Inglot palette that some colors have a pigmented base with tiny glitter bits that seem to just sit on top on the eyeshadow and then fall off slightly.

    I decided to pick some unique colors in this palette, but not anything too outrageous.

     

    Random Fact: As I was popping out these eyeshadows out of their pans to see the numbers,

    I realised that the AMC SHINE EYESHADOWS are 3.5g, while the PEARL EYEDSHADOWS are 2.7g.


    Really loving this dull gold shade, it is not too metallic and not too yellowish.  And the two pale highlighting shades, I realise they look similar, but one is warm toned, and the other cooler toned.

     

    My little stash of Inglot eyeshadows :)

     

    Next entry will be an LOTD with these inglot eyeshadows.  :)

     

     

    That's all, and thanks for looking!
