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: MAC Prance & Unflappable eyeshadows

    Hi hi, so today is the dad's bday celebration dinner, and we went out in the rainy evening for a sushi dinner.  I decided to put on all the new stuff which you have seen in the last few entries posted today.  A few raves along the way too.

    Products used:

    Foundation - Lancome Pro Base (new bottle!), Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation, Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder, Amazing Cosmetics concealer

    * The foundation gives rather light natural coverage.  So you really need to conceal the spots and/or use this on 'good skin' days.  But it smells great, and feels light on the skin. I blended it with my Sigma F84 brush.  Love the brush.

    ** I also used the Cosme large loose powder brush to dust on the powder.  ZOMG.  It was drying in my room the whole day, and the cooling air makes the brush feels like COLD SILKY cloth caressing my face.  I love this brush!!!

    Cheeks - Benefit Bella Bamba

    * This blush is going to my makeup tray for the 2-day week, along with the foundation.  Loves the pink flush.

    Lips - MUFE gloss which Gwen gave me.  It is in such a cute tiny tube!  I believe it might have some plumping properties?  Because it feels minty and tingling on my lips.  Looks bright orange in the tube, but is quite sheer and natural.

    Eyes - MAC Bare Canvas paint, Prance on the lids, Unflappable on the crease, NARS Kilimanjaro on the brow bone --- I also use this to highlight my cheeks.

    I also used I Get No Kick pencil to line lower lids.

    Huge GLOSS!

    But it is tiny!  :)

    Sorry no close up pics of the eyes and eyeshadows (in a hurry to leave the house), but they applied beautifully!

    Here's one picture of what we ate -- though I hardly ate any.

    And my bro with his crazy red lenses --  I have a GEO lenses haul sitting in my drafts.  shall post that tomorrow.

    That's all!

    Let the Sunday blues begin!
