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.

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: MUFE La Bohème Spring collection [with step-by-step pictures]

    Hi hi!

    A look that features all the MUFE products which I featured in this entry (link !) --- this is part of the MUFE spring collection, La Bohème, which features a new palette consisting of baked eyeshadows.  I didn't go for the usual neutrals because I want to bring out the spring themed collection vibe... (and there is a peachy shade and a deep brown, enough for me to turn this into another neutral everyday look).  As it turns out, the model in the promo picture is probably wearing almost the same colour combination.

    I could use a colored base to make the eyelook more dramatic, but I think that would not be in the spirit of this carefree and natured inspired collection... hence I opted for a more 'see-thru' color effect on my eyelids, you can definitely see the teal shade going on, but it is not going to be pow-wow in your face.  The overall effect is very subtle and feminine.

    Here's what I used on my eyes:

    STEPS:

    1. Apply eyeshadow primer [MUFE Eyeshadow Primer]
    2. Apply browbone highlight shade
    3. Sweep lid color all over the lids, adding more if desired.  Blend out the edges.
    4. Apply lower lid color
    5. Line the upper lids with the Aqua Liner in Gypsy
    6. Set liner with the brown eyeshadow
    7. Apply lashes, mascara, fill in the brows

     

    SUPER EASY & WEARABLE!!!

    All products used:

    base - Laneige BB Cushion, Collection2000 Liquid Foundation, Ettusais Loose Powder

    concealers - Shu Uemura pro gel cealer

    cheeks - Anna Sui Rose Cheek Color Mystic Rose 100, MUFE Mat Bronzer, Giorgio Armani sheer powder blush in No.5

    lashes - Maybelline Lash Stylist, Benefit false lashes in Pin-up Girl

    lips - MUFE  Rouge Artist Natural Lipstick in Bohème

    eyes - MUFE primer, MUFE La Bohème Baked Eye Shadow Palette, La Bohème Aqua Eyes in Gypsy

     

    Overall, a very soft yet colorful look.  I like how it turns out (and it helps that I have the big lashes to balance out the colors).

    The Rouge Artist Natural Lipstick seems to feel very balmy - and smooth.

    The eyeshadow primer sets very fast so you have to work quickly to spread all over the lids.

     

    a special guest today, my sister's golden retriever was hanging around while I was preparing my blog entries, there was this moment when I was taking photos and he laid there, staring at me, my camera, so I had to take a pic of him, and share with you :)

    That's all, and thank you for looking!  Hope it has been helpful!
