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: Smokey Winged Eyeliner [Plus Sneak Peek Backstage @ AFF]

    Hi hi,

    We spent a very fruitful and exciting afternoon with the Shu Uemura & Redken team today at the Audi Fashion Festival.  Got a chance to see the makeup and hair artistes in action backstage, took loads of pictures, played with the Shu Uemura lashes - which if you have read my blog from years back - would know I am a huge fan and collector of - and then watched the actual presentation itself, called the Shapes & Shadows at the Tent itself at Ngee Ann City.

    We got a preview at a new product from Shu Uemura - I am sooo excited, but will save that for a later entry this week.

    Shall show my LOTD for today, and also show some highlights and sneak preview of entries to come -- It is loosely based on Lisa Eldridge's video of the same title [Smokey Winged Eyeliner].

    All products used:

    Foundation - Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, Shu Uemura UV Mousse Base in Beige, Giorgio Armani Lasting Silk foundation, Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder

    Cheeks - MAC Cheeky Bronze, Tarte Tipsy

    Lips - Chanel Extrait De Gloss in Genie

    Eyes - UDPP, Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Intense in Pulp Fiction, Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow in After Hours

    Liners - Heavy Rotation liquid liner, Bobbi Brown Black Caviar Ink gel cream

    Lashes - Clinique Lower Lash Mascara, Shu Uemura Smokey Layers

     

    These lashes will be part of the latest additions to the Shu Uemura's Tokyo Lash Bar this coming JULY.

    Backstage pictures of the makeup team, I was drooling at the array of Shu Uemura lashes and eyeshadows and a gazillion other goodies all laid out.

    Serious makeup porn going on.

    And I will be featuring this new product from Shu Uemura this week.  You probably can already tell what it is, if you saw my tweets.  :)

    We also got to play with the Shu Uemura lashes backstage, and I helped Chantana and Sara put on their partial lashes!  :)

     

    If you want to see lotsa more pictures from the Shapes & Shadow presentation,

    do check out my FB album, the public link to the album is HERE.

     

     

    That's all, and thanks for looking!

    Love your look - it's simple but really strikingly beautiful!

    The eyeshadow palette, though. Full-blown makeup porn. SWOON.

    And you will be pleased to know that I bought a pair of (relatively boring) false lashes this weekend. Now I just need to get up the nerve to try them out! Eee!
