About Me
The road to beauty is a jungle. I should know; people always called me a Plain Jane. And I must admit, I do love those makeup free days (as you can see by my picture) - this blog started out from my fascination with beauty and the transformative powers of make-up!
My name is Emilie Hagstörm. Born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden to a Swedish Father and an English Mother. Currently, I am living in Copenhagen Denmark where I am finishing my degree in Pharmacy from the University of Copenhagen.
So, an official welcome to my makeup and beauty blog where; I offer tutorials to help you discover new looks and applications and plenty of tips to make your beauty regime easy and fun. Last but not least, I spend the time to test the products, so that all you have to do is read, buy and look your absolute best!

Why FamousMakeup?
I repeat, the road to beauty is a jungle and over time I’ve realised that everyone has completely different opinions, views and experiences with beauty products and that it’s very hard to get honest views on what is worth investing in, and what isn’t.
With the beauty market becoming ever more complicated, the daily “ground-breaking” products and formulations, my blog will make it easy to understand which products you might want to try.
With a background as a Pharmacist, I use a scientific approach to research what REALLY works. When you read one of my beauty reviews you’ll know that it is honest and unbiased because I don’t work for a make-up retailer or manufacturer, and I’m completely independent. I’m aiming to share my passion and love for the subject with lots of new readers. I know all too well how wonderful you can look when you get your make-up right – and also how you feel when your beauty regime just isn’t working!
