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.

    My Gaga Experience

    HI!!

    As promised, the lowdown on the Lady Gaga concert.

    By the time I got there (got lost in the park for a while) it was 8pm, and because I came from the 'top' of the slope area.... my friend and I had the chance  to see the Lady herself just arriving, in a black car, with her entourage in another black car, and 2 white vans.  That was amazing, even though all we saw was the top of her head...

    The opening act, though entertaining and happening-- I felt was LONGER than the concert itself, in which Lady Gaga performed for just 1 hour.  I don't think she sang all the songs from her album... but each song she performed was spectacular, and she did the PR thing, you know, 'I love Singapore, I love chilli crab' endearing, yes, especially when she said it's her first time performing on her own for such a big audience ( think the papers reported 10000+ turn out).

    Well, I didn't managed to squeeze all the way to the front row, but I would say my friend and I were standing about 50m away from the stage.  It was needless to say, HOT, stuffy, sweaty and when pple raised their arms, you wish you have a mini fan with you for ventilation.  Hahaha.......Thankfully, I was wearing my comfy white tee and leggings, so no worries of any wardrobe malfunction, and no stickiness from rubbing arms and shoulders with other sweaty bodies.

    Here is a pic I took outside the entrance (when the concert was over).  I am wearing Smoke & Diamonds and Plummage on my eyes - not that you can really see - I had NO time to do my makeup, and had to major RUSH to the venue.

    I bought a tee-shirt from the merchandise tent.  $40 each.  How cute are the colors!!

    This is the screen they used to cover the stage while setting up.

    Another hot sweaty pic after the concert and everyone was moving out.

    Her 2nd outfit... a red leather thingy, and that giant keyboard thingy.. she was wearing this wig which covered half her face.

    Her last outfit, which is a patent nude bra and panty thingy... and the piano is priceless. She was wearing a matching 'bubble' jacket too, but I didn't zoom my camera close enough to get a clear shot.  Here, she played Brown Eyes and Pokerface.  She also sang the disco version of Pokerface as her finale song.

    And oooo check out the buns!  :)  she was practically 'making love' to the piano, if you know what I mean.

    If you can see the matching bubble jacket and piano.  And check out the digital cam/ phones, everyone dying to capture the moment.

    All in all, it was an awesome performance with impressive showmanship (IMO), and if she comes here again, I would want to go!! All hail Lady Gaga!

    That sounded like tons of fun! And lol at the sea of cameras/phones. It was the same sight at the Fall Out Boy gig in 2006. Thanks for the low down and pictures! Her 2nd outfit looks awesome.
