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.

    LOTD: NARS Rajasthan & Mata Hari [Plus my DIY Galaxy Manicure]

    Hi hi!

    A few sharp readers have noted the laspe in frequency of entries lately...I have been doing a pattern of weekend spams, and then remaining relatively quiet on the blog front during the week... but if you follow me on instagram, you probably have a pretty good idea of what entries will be coming up next.  However, it's just a little hectice on the work front for me to update as much, and there are days when I feel just a bit overwhelmed, and don't know where to start. Hope to be more 'regular' and catch up in the coming couple of weeks ahead.  :)

    This entry is about this LOTD which I quickly did (in less than 30 minutes) when I visited Sarah together with Joey during EID yesterday.  Rummaged through my drawers, and somehow I always come back to my NARS duo eyeshadows when I want to do something 'different'.  

    Just a brief description on this eyelook (since it is slightly more complicated than my usual one color all over look). 

    I used the lighter shade in NARS Tzarine duo on my browbone...The dark antique gold shade in NARS Rajasthan on the inner corners, and the darker blacken teal shade on the outer corner, and just blend out any areas where two colors meet. Rest of the look is kept rather simple, but quite excited, because I used a mineral powder foundation, and I am quite liking the coverage and effect!  All products used will be listed at the end of this entry. 

    all products used: 

    face - Elizabeth Arden Pure Mineral foundation (shade 01), Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage SC-03

    cheeks - MUFE Mat Bronzer, NARS Mata Hari 

    lips - TOM FORD Blush Nude

    eyes - NARS eyeshadow primer, NARS Tzarine, NARS Rajasthan, Heavy Rotation Liquid Liner 

    also did this galaxy nail art on my hands, totally inspired by Jennifer's brilliant attempt here

    a snapshot of the yummy food I had at Sarah's place, woots!! :)

    Might post a mini rambly update soon, if I feel up to it.. :)  stay tune, and thank you very much for reading!
