We present results from optical and ultraviolet analysis of nine LMC/SMC supergiants. Temperatures, mass-loss rates and CNO abundances are obtained using the non-LTE, line-blanketed model atmosphere code of Hillier & Miller (1998). In general, the derived temperatures are significantly lower than those determined from unblanketed, plane-parallel models.
