LOTD: Mainly Chanel

FAQ & DISCLAIMER

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.

If certain products are sent to me for review purposes, I will say so and express my honest opinions about them.

LOTD: Mainly Chanel

Hi hi!

Decided to do a quick smokey eyes, that goes along with Chanel Glossimer in Sweet Beige (featured here). I tried to keep everything to within Chanel...so here's what I ended up with. I think it is quite a defined by natural enough smokey by my standards. I have a pop of color on my nails, using Chanel's Suspicious (featured here).

Haven't used my Chanel Mystic Eyes in ages, so when my gf purchased this yesterday (or was it Friday? The weekend zoomed past in a blur!) I got reminded of it.

Here are all the products I used:

Base - Chanel Sheer Illuminating Base, Chanel Perfection Lumiere (used a mix of 10 and 20 Beige), Chanel Loose Powder (the regular one, not the ultra fine one - this is one of my all time fave loose powder)

Cheeks & Bronzer - Chanel Bronze Rose (one of my most fave cheek color product, released 2011 Summer)

Eyes - NARS eyeshadow primer, Chanel Mystic Eyes quad (darkest shade on my lids, medium brown shade to blend, and the lightest pink as brow highlight), NARS Larger than Life pencil in Via Venetto

Lips - Chanel Glossimier Sweet Beige

Nails - Chanel Suspicious

This is one of the rare times you see me lining my lower waterline...and the trick is not to line all the way into your inner corners...for my eyes that is. So that you won't end up making your eyes look smaller, and also avoid any kind of dirty messy situation at the inner corner of your eyes. I tried to smudge the lower line with the darkest brown from the Mystic Eyes Quad.

Overall, a rather 'fall' look, and I tried to cosy up by wrapping a light skull print skull (current season, Zara). Can't believe it is August already!

I had a lovely lovely weekend (that probably started since Thursday) hanging out with a lot of my beloved friends and family. Lots of dinner, shopping, and caught the Dark Knight at the IMAX theatre last night. It was awesome, and everyoe should go and watch. Looking forward to a short week this coming one, and also get more blog entries out while I take a break.

Hope you enjoy the look, and thanks for reading!
