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.

    NEW Dior Rouge Nude & Vernis Nude [Photos & Information]

    THE NEOLIPSTICK

    Today Dior innovates by launching new lipstick shades that perfectly match the Nude complexion. Created by Tyen, creative director of Dior make-up, the brand new Rouge Dior Nude adopts the same spirit of natural nude glow.

    ROUGE DIOR NUDE

    After inaugurating Nude make-up for the complexion, Dior reinvents nude for the lips and revolutionises lipstick with Rouge Dior Nude, a natural approach that no fashionista will resist. It expresses a new “blushing” way of imagining lipstick – not as a colour to tint lips but as a blush that illuminates their hue. On offer: new glowing shades and a new lip care balm formula. In 2012, this is the absolute must-have for fans of nude! Beautiful nude make-up goes so much further than all-over beige makeup; this make-up celebrates all the natural tones of the skin, including the healthy pink blush of lips! Which is why Dior now proposes these brand new lipsticks, designed to magnify the natural glow of all complexions. 

    LIPSTICK – THE “TOUCH OF BLUSH”

    Transparency and glow, this new lipstick stands out with its immediate glowing look. The lips are plumped with a transparent sheen of blushy colours for a result more natural than ever, whatever the lip complexion. They are plump and lush, as though bursting with light. 

    A NEW ULTRA-CARE FORMULA

    A new concentrated Rouge Dior formula boosted by active ingredients that moisturise, replump and redefine, enriched by the hydrating ingredients of Nude. The ultra-care formula of this new lipstick balm offers greater transparency and a more sheer effect than Rouge Dior. It instantly plumps the lips, making them lusher, smoother and more supple and glowing, day after day.

    A RANGE OF SHADES THAT MAGNIFY THE NATURAL GLOW

    This “Lip Blush” comes in 10 new luminous shades, all references that are very Dior, emblematic of Dior’s vision of femininity, a palette of ultra-desirable shades totally on trend. The new accomplices for truly stunning natural make-up. 

    FOUR MUST-HAVE SHADES

    “GRÈGE”, or the flagship colour of the New Look imagined by Christian Dior in 1947, the association of nude beige and luminous grey that is oh so very Dior.

    “SWAN”, this pure petal-pink shade was inspired by the delicacy of a swan, a Dior symbol of elegance and purity.

    “CHARNELLE”, a coral-tinted rose: the fusion of disarming charm and absolute elegance as imagined by Monsieur Dior.

    “TRENCH”, the flagship model on Dior runways, revisited in hues of rosewood spiced with a touch of beige: captivating elegance.

    The shades are divided into two families: warm or cool, to either warm up or freshen the skin tone, depending on the complexion and the foundation chosen. Is it primarily warm, yellow or apricot? It will go with one of the five adapted lipstick colours. Likewise for tones that are more cool, neutral or pinkish. 

    L: K POP PINK, R: GRÈGE

    NUDE DOWN TO YOUR FINGERTIPS

    To be nude down to your fingertips and have the finishing touch that highlights your overall make- up effect, these grey-rose or ice-brown nail colours are spot on trend to revisit nude make-up with a brand new manicure unlike any other, subtly natural and discreetly seductive.

    The signature of a look that is resolutely vogue, Dior Vernis Nude is set to be a new must in the beauty rituals of all fans of New Nude, the ultra-contemporary, totally natural look.

    Just like foundation, not every nail polish shade suits every complexion. Which is why Dior has for the very first time imagined a range of four new nail varnish shades, specially created to adapt to all complexions: 2 “warm” shades for beige to golden-beige skins and 2 “cool” shades for pink-beige skin. 

    * 115 Charnelle

    * 223 Trench

    * 413 Grège

    * 715 Dune

    L: 115 Charnelle, R: 223 Trench

    Vernis $37 

    Availablity: 1 September 2012

     

    Hope this has been helpful, and thanks for reading!  Will be featuring the new nude lippies and vernis in a later entry.
