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.

    OCC Lip Tars Batch #4 [ARRIVED] & Extra Lip Tars Up for Sale

    Hi hi,

    so the mega order came last night, and I was quite excited to check them out and get them ready for mailing out today.  Also got the sister to help me with checking that everything is correct...there might be a little mix up here and there, but everyone got the colors they ordered with the exception of a couple who got their ALT colors (phew).

    A few more people have yet to give me your mailing address, I have emailed you earlier, so please reply asap!

    As I was packing the items, and snapping pictures, I think I like Trollop more and more, and kinda kicking myself for not ordering it.  Among this whole batch of lip tars, I only got Trick for myself.   duh, right?  for all that logistics and organisation... heheh. But I think I already have all the colors that I want and would use.. and so didn't think I would like Trollop too.

    Here is one pathetic swatch of the only one lip tar I got:

    Trick is a browner version of Hush ( is which more pinky) and it goes on lighter on your lips, even though it looks brownish in on my lips. It is a beigy nude, well, or tanned beige.  I think very it's good, because you definitely get nude lips that are not concealer pale nude beige. Put it this way, if you are a fan of nude lips, you need to have Trick ---- and I think it suits a range of skintones too.

    Here you can see the different undertones of both hush and trick.  Again, I would to highlight that trick looks a lot darker in the pic than in IRL.

    a comparison of trick, hush and conquest.

    obviously, I can't swatch conquest because it isn't mine!

    And I decided to snap pics of all the different colors that were ordered for our viewing pleasure!  And ironically enough, I forgot to take a pic of Trick.  Hahaha.
