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.

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.

    LOTD: Matchy Oranges with Shiseido SS2012 Collection

    Hi!

    This is a very quick and easy LOTD featuring some of the stellar products from Shiseido's collection for SS2012.  This collection has too  many beautiful shades (that plum red lippy!  that brown lippy!  that orange lippy!) and three new additions to their Shimmering Cream eyeshadow range.  In this LOTD, I shall feature the matchy tonal oranges from the collection namely the lipstick and the shimmering cream eyeshadow.

    The shimmering cream eyeshadows are super EASY to work with.  I used my fingers for this entry - and building it up to the intensity that you want.  I applied more towards my lashes and blending it out and upwards to the crease.  I did not use any browbone highlight at all,  and I kept the liner very subtle by only tight-lining the upper waterline with a brown eyeliner.   This shade OR313 contains some multi-color shimmer, and they do sparkle very prettily.

    For lips I used this beautiful and wearable orange lipstick, OR316 -- and the formula, if you remember  my feature entry on these lipsticks --- is amazing.. Super creamy, super pigmented.

    So this is what I end up with.  I like the matchy orange look, and I think it is wearable enough for everyday, it's quite girly and also trendy.  Try to keep the rest of the face clean -- I only have on a matchy blush, and no bronzer, no highlight at all.

    All products used:

    base:  Lancome UV Expert GN Shield BB Complete SPF50PA+++, Lancome Teint Miracle Cream foundation, Ettusais Loose powder

    cheeks: NARS Torrid, and Maquillage Aura powder

    lips: Shiseido Shimmering Rouge OR316

    eyes: NARS Pro Prime eyeshadow primer, Shiseido Shimmering Cream eyeshadow OR313, MUFE La Boheme Aqualiner

    lashes: Shu Uemura Natural Volume

     

    That's all, and hope you like this look!

     

     

    Thanks for reading!
