Shu Uemura (Make Up) Review

I am back from Hong Kong. And of course during my trip, I purchased a lot of skin care/ Cosmetics to test out (haha that is my hobby). This is my first review to the products that I purchased from Shu Uemura (trust me, the sales lady in Tai Koo loves me so much cuz I purchased a lot).



1. Cream Eye Shadow - Ivory - $190
This is absolutely AMAZING, I love this cream eye shadow! I use it as base eyeshadow, it prevent eyeshadow being creased or wear off. I have tested it out thoroughly. I have wear the same eyeshadow without applying this cream eyesahdow as base and then the next day applying the cream eyeshadow before putting on eyeshadow. This cream eyeshadow makes my eyeshadow stays all day. It also prevent oil from my eye (you know, HK is kinda hot - 30 degree)! There are 9 colour (I believe), but I found that Ivory is the best colour, next is Pink. They are a bit sparkle. I found that they also enhance the colour of the eyeshadow. This is definitely my favourite product from Shu in this trip!

2. EyeBrow pencil - 2 brown - $190
I have heard a lot of great reviews from the eyebrow pencil, so I cannot wait to buy and test it out! It is awesome! It is very easy to use and it allow a precise application. Also the best part is, you can always bring the eyebrow pencil back to Shu and they will sharpen it for you! Perfect for lazy person like ME!



3. Concealer brush - number 10 - (forgot the price)
I have had few conceler brush from other brand, but this is by far the best one. The hair of the brush is soft and capture the cream concealer very well. :)


4. Liquid Foundation - 764 - $390
I was debating to purchase face makeup from Chanel vs. Shu for a long while (you know I am a big Chanel fans) but then I think it is time to give it a try! The 764 that I chose was a medium coverage, the liquid foundation is very light (not greasy at all) and very easy to apply - just simply use a sponge to apply and you only require a small amount and it will cover your whole face! I love it!








5. Base foam
I think you have previously heard from me that I love their base foam. They have recently launched a new version with much lighter texture and higher coverage. I love it very much. There are days where I am lazy with my make up. I only apply it without putting anymore make up. It evens out your complexity on your face! A+ product!










7. Powder
I purchased this powder (again debating from Chanel vs. Shu). Well, it is cheaper in Shu and that I feel that it provide a similar texture, very soft and it set your make up very nicely! :)






8. 2 way cake -$390
love this product! Again it is perfect for touch up during the day, it is soft! And it touches up nicely! :)







9. Traveler brush set - $380 from HK airport ONLY
LOVE THIS SET. I have had Bobbi Brown set.. well, let's say I regret getting Bobbi Brown set! The set include - powder brush, blush brush, eyeshadow brush and a lip or eyeliner brush! Very compact, perfect for on the go!
