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: Prada SS'11 Inspired [Metallic Silver Eyes]

    Hi hi,

    this is a quick look loosely inspired by the Prada SS'11 catwalk makeup look. The look on the models is a very bold metallic silver eyes, all over the lids, strong brows, and the rest of the face is pretty much natural.  I decided to create a more wearable version of this look, taking inspiration from the runway into real life... and you know what... this might well put a super beautiful silver eyeshadow into regular use! :)

    Before we get into the products used, these are the Prada SS'11 makeup images:

    And some close up shots of my eye and lips:

    I wanted to just even out my skintone, and didn't use much concealer, hence you might see some spots/ freckles coming through. Also, I added a little kick by adding some holo-glitter eyeshadow right in the middle of my eyelids.  I also did not use a cheek color for this look -- but my natural cheek color shows through the face & body foundation ---  as the eyes are the main focus.

    Products used:

    Foundation: MUFE HD Primer #5 (the pale blue one, sample courtesy of Amy!), MAC Face & Body foundation, Chanel Natural Finish Loose Powder #10

    Bronzer/ Contour: Shiseido Bronzer #2 Desert Rose

    Lips: Erased my lips with MAC Naked Lip Pencil, MAC Pro Longwear Overtime (blotted and re-applied)

    Eyes: UDPP, MUA Bullet (foiled pow wow silver eyeshadow), Shu Uemura ME brown (crease), Shu Uemura Rainbow (holo glitter eyeshadow)

    No liner on upper lids, but I used MAC Cobalt and Shu Uemura ME Blue eyeshadow on lower lids -- you can just use any blue pencil liner actually.

    Lashes: Clinique lower lash mascara, Ardel #120

    I also 'discovered' a new YT makeup girl (nick is Glitterdollz7) to watch today, and she is gorgeous, she does beautiful makeup and she speaks well!

    She also did this Prada inspired look, Click HERE to see her tutorial, and HERE for her YT channel to view more.

     

    That's all, and thanks for looking!
