After recently road testing Shu Uemura’s fabulous UV underbase mousse and their smooth-fit foundation, I must say I was certainly impressed. Not only did the mousse act as a perfect base ready for my foundation application, it also helps even out your skin tone and texture, minimises the appearance of open pores and reduces redness, giving your skin an ideal start for your foundation. As a result of these two marvellous products I decided to have a little look at what else would make me sit up and pay attention. Well, I wasn’t disappointed. For those of you that know how I work, you will know I am always on the lookout for products that help show case women’s natural glamour. So I was more than thrilled when I discovered Shu Uemura’s philosophy is built around ‘Beautiful make up starts with beautiful skin’. Now, everyone loves to have their eye make-up stand out – whether it’s black winged eye liner, natural colours or, of course, everyone’s favourite the smokey look - but don’t forget the crème de la crème; the false lashes! Well Shu Uemura has all the right products to complete the eyemazing look you want to achieve. LET’S START WITH EYE SHADOW. They have a cream and a pressed type; the cream eye shadow comes in two textures - matte and pearl – and both give a high impact look with a natural looking finish. They can be used alone or blended with others. The matte shadow gives light and shadow control as well as hue and complexion control and the pearl shadow has light neutral shades used as a base but can be used perfectly with pressed eye shadow for different strengths of colour and texture. They are also crease-resistant and long-lasting so they are ideal in warmer climates and hot weather. THEIR PRESSED POWDERS HAVE SUCH A DIVERSE RANGE OF COLOURS. With over 80 fabulous colours to choose from, it’s hard to decide which ones to buy. Enter Shu Uemura’s unique refill system, which allows you to design, change, mix and match bold colours and hues and basically build your own unique pallet from a mono, duo or quad pallet You can swap and change your powders to suit your moods or look or even events; the combinations are endless. These powders capture light, absorbing and reflecting it for a multidimensional effect, and don’t forget they are blend-able with the cream eye shadows making your combinations even more diverse. NOW, LET’S NOT FORGET THE FINISHING TOUCH – FALSE EYE LASHES. They are the final decoration for the face to complete the look. Again Shu Uemura has a wide selection of choice from premium to natural, accent to statement and event their Tokyo lash bar. You are definitely in for a treat here!
