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.

    Updated: thoughts about foundation and flawless look etc..

    Ok, this is a sort of update on foundation applications - some stuff I learnt along the way.

    Remember my raving about the MUFE matte loose powder and mat velvet+ foundation??  Yes, they are awesome products, but do you need to run out to buy them??  No, esp if you already have your current foundation routine.  But I just want to share a technique which I learnt from wayne goss (goosmakeupartist) --- check out his tutorial on full coverage foundation rourtine and powder tutoorial CLICK HERE.

    In that video, he demo how to apply a full coverage cream foundation, then he demo this PRESS AND ROLL method of applying powder.  He used MSF natural for the press & roll method, and he says it is good for covering pores, and make your MU last whole day.  So, I tried the press & roll method out when I got my MUFE powder -- and it is really true, about giving your face a very flawless finish.  And you use your brush at the end to buff away any excess powder or patchy area.

    So... if you have been using a brush for your powder, you might want to consider using the PRESS & ROLL method.  Try out this method using your current foundation products, and see if there is a difference.  I tried this method with my MSF natural and also the MUFE loose powder, both give me the same flawless effect.


    Hmmm... anything else?  I use my MUFE HD powder only if I have the time and can be bothered to do so.  Personally I would not use it as a setting powder, but more for a overall smoothing effect after the MU is done, like before you leave the house.

    That's all, and thanks for reading!
