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: Using my INGLOT Eyeshadows Wet - Amazing!

    This is quite a random and accidental LOTD... because I already had on my foundation, brows and blush when I headed out for dinner and drinks Sat evening.  When I got home, I thought why not play around with my eyeshadows and do a full face makeup before I wash everything off for the day?  And so this is what I ended up with....

    I mainly tried using all my eyeshadows wet in this LOTD..and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I used a couple of old angled liner brushes to create the sharp lines for this look, and also to pack on the colors at precise areas of the eyes.

    Shall 'talk' through the whole eyelook as I go along.... and all products used will be listed at the end of this entry.

    I subconsciously did this look based on NikkieTutorials' video HERE which is a Beyonce inspired look.

    Using black eyeshadow WET as a liner

    I first line my eyes on the upper and lower lids, a rather bold and winged look.  I sprayed my brush with MAC Fix+ and dipped it into a corner of a black glittery eyeshadow from Inglot.  I am amazed, and astounded,  really...by how pigmented, smooth the results is.  I could draw very clean and precise lines, and I didn't have to dip back in the pan at all til I am ready to do the other eye.  And when the wet eyeshadow dries...the look is a ultra black matte effect.  I even used it to line my lower waterline.

    Purple liner!

    I double-lined my lower lids with MUFE#92, a brilliant vibrant purple to further define the lower lids, and to add a pop of color.  I also used a damp brush to apply this eyeshadow.

    Golden highlights

    Next, I also used a rather antiqued gold eyeshadow, again, from Inglot to brighten up the inner corners of the eyes.  I later also used the same shadow to dust on some shine on the centre of my upper lids.

    Upper lids & Crease

    I used yet another Inglot eyeshadow to soften up the look and add color to my eyelids up to the crease.  This time, I used a fluffy brush and did not wet the eyeshadow.  Then I finish off with brow highlights.

    I did not use any eyeliner at all, because using the eyeshadows wet means I could draw very sharp liners, and define my eyes. The colors remained vibrant as ever after they are dried.. and there was no fall out at all because of the moisture.

     

    All products used:

    Foundation - Ettusais BB Cream, Maquillage White Essence UV foundation, La Mer Powder to set

    Cheeks - Clarins Mosaique bronzer, Laneige Styling Romantic Blush #01

    Lips - Laneige Styling Romantic  Lip Duo SYR34

    Eyes - UDPP base, Purple Liner MUFE #92, Black Liner Inglot AMC#64 (Black with gold sparkles), Gold Accent Inglot AMC Shine 06, Lid & Crease AMC 53 (Deep Brown with silvery blue sparkles), Brow Highlight Inglot Pearl 395

     

    After this whole experiment, I removed every trace of makeup with Bioderma, and wiped my face with MAC wipes, before using my facial cleanser...and then my night time skincare routine.

     

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