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 Eyes & Chanel Super Lips

    Products used:

    Foundation - Sana Pore Putty Base, Maquillage Long Lasting Stick Foundation, Cover Girl Pressed Powder, MUFE Concealer Palette

    Eyes - MUFE #15 Aqua Cream, NARS Lola Lola e/s blended all over lids, MAC Brule e/s on brow bone

    Lashes, Liner, Lenses:  Palz (ardel 120 dupes), YSL Faux Cils on lower lashes, Loreal Superliner, FreshKon Mosaic Velvet Blue

    Lips - Chanel Rouge Allure Super, MAC Electric Cherry Superglass

    Cheeks - NARS Laguna, NARS Mounia

     

    The Superglass glitter bits stuck to your lips the whole day, even after I rubbed my lips with tissue paper when I wanted to touch up.  They add a soft touch to a lipstick, and if you are familiar with the 'glasses' that MAC puts out, they are sticky, and you kind of don't want hair streaks across your face, especially when you are rocking serious color like this.  All in all, I say this is a novel product which will make you very happy if you are into dazzling lips.

    And since it is the holidays, I rocked a little temporary tattoos,  I placed them on my inner arm, to be a little discreet.

    Thanks for looking!!

    Wow the lip color is so insanely pretty! You should surely rock this often, except for the scenario you mentioned of it being sticky and hard to wear everywhere, pity!

    What happens when u eat or drink with the superglass on? Does it come off easily that way? Or would you be eating a lot of glitters? lol. The reason why I'm thinking of the "eating glitters" part is cos I had chunks of glitter on my nail tips yesterday and I went to eat chilli crab which involves a lot of finger-licking and stuff. And then I suddenly thought that I was possibly ingesting glitters together with the crab. lol!

    jennifer - Well, I guess if it is any consolation, eating glitter bits from a gloss is not as icky as glitter bits from nail polish? I didn't touch up the superglass after it wore off (after some drinks and lotsa talking) the glitter bits, most of them, stuck firmly to my lips, and I wiped off with remover wipes when I got home. Heh.

    haha..hmm..I'm consoling myself thinking that I must not have eaten a lot of glitters cos they were so hard to remove today. Very firmly stuck with topcoat. hurhur.

    My colleague tried on the dark purple one on her lips last thursday, the glitter was amazing! MAC lippies make my lips so dry, so much so that I've given up buying any lip products from them. Even their TLC dries out my lips. And your channel tattoo is v nice!

    Hello! Nice seeing you the other day though we didn't talk much... actually at all LOL

    Those Chanel tatts are gorgeous. Are the designs for one-time use only?


    6/06/10

    @ Joyce - Hi hi, well, the tatts do last for several days, one whole week even, depending on how you care for them ... they can be easily wipe off with alcohol solution. so, yea, they re one time use only. Smiling

    Soph: Ahh, Cherry Electric totally changed the look of Super! Is it me or does the pinky-red base of cherry electric kinda dominate? But it looks lovely! Laughing out loud
