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.

    Kreativ Blog

    A big thank you to Saffie for nominating me. :)  Do check out her blog too!

    Personally, I think 'awards' & 'nominations' like these helps to spread the word around on many beauty related blogs which we may not have come across usually.  And that's good - building a community/ forum of like-minded beauty product junkies.  :)

    I am supposed to share 7 facts about me, and nominate another 7 people.  It is kind of getting a bit hard to keep thinking of facts about me, but I shall try my best, after all, this award isn't called 'kreativ' for nothing!

    1. I am a morning person.  Meaning I would much rather wake up earlier in the day, get started with stuff, and still have the rest of the day to do whatever I want.  Unless I slept super late the night before, I am usually up by 7 ish or 8am. 
    2. Have I mentioned how much I lurve lurve lurve spicy food?  Usually of the Thai or Indonesian variety.  Not so much 'curry' but 'sambal' if you know what I mean.
    3. Besides coke light, 'bubble milk tea' is my other fave non-alcoholic drink.  I particularly like mine from 'each a cup' and when I go to HK, I must must drink one or two every day, cos the milky tea is just soooo much better in HK.  But I am cutting down to just 1 coke light, and 1 bubble tea a week.
    4. I don't tan well at all.  I turn red in the sun after less than an hour, but the tan/ redness will soon fade away a couple of months weeks after my beach vacay. 
    5. I think I am starting to have an aversion to kids.  I turn very edgy and cranky when I am surrounded by ill-behaved noisy young children and the parents don't bother to discipline them at all. 
    6. This may sound like a cliche, but I heart Paris.  I love how beautiful the city is, how old everything is, and just how fashionable and old world the people are. I have been there only 2 times and both in Fall, so... I hope  the next time I go back there, it would be spring time, and I can see leaves on the trees, and more colour in general.
    7. I like wearing plastic frame glasses, since I started to wear glasses when I was in primary school.  I just find them more hardy, and metal frames irritate my skin.  So I own a few pairs of really nerdy plastic frames, and my students all think I am trying to act all 'geek'  and they go ooohhh and ahhhh, (you know that 'trend' when pple wear those 80s clothes and black frame glasses) when it isn't true cos I have been wearing them all this time.

     

    Ok! And I shall share this picture, just because:
