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.

    Shiseido Luminzing Satin Face Color in PK107


    Hi hi! 

    This entry features the Shiseido Luminizing Satin Face Color in PK107.  This belongs to their range of blushes/ cheek powders - and PK107 is an off-white pinky face powder.   It is very finely milled, and I love it for the subtle glow it imparts to my face.  It gives an illuminating touch without being too harsh, hence making it easy to literally slap on and go. If you are not quite sure about using face highlighters, I think this is a good one to start with.   You can't go wrong with this, I use it with a fluffy brush, and dust it lightly all over my cheeks area, concentrating on the upper part where you usually apply your highlighter. 

    I also find it lightweight enough to use as a touch-up powder, to freshen up a dull complexion after a long day.  It doesn't cake up - I think the shade is a very nice complementing one for my skintone. 

    Product up close:

    Swatch on my hand: 

    as you can see, the powder has a very soft sheen, it is never too harsh nor "in your face".  Even though you might associate the pink tone with another pink blush, but I think that it works with a warmer blush shade underneath too.  Either way, the overall effect is a natural glow to the face.


    Here's a look I did, and I used PK107 on my cheeks.  I also find it useful for blending out a too harsh blusher. 

    Highly recommend the Shiseido Luminzing Satin Face Colors, not just this one, they offer some very good quality blushers at a very reasonable price of S$40 (if I remember correctly).

    Hope this has been helpful, and thanks for reading!

    Sophia, it doesn't look like much in the pan but on your hand swatch, it is gorgeous.
