I’m bummed as I just discovered his makeup line and have quickly fallen in love with it.

    I know, it’s a bummer LaurieT. I really like the line, so I wonder what L’Oreal is going to do next.

    Hi AppleDiva,

    Don’t say I didn’t warn you, but I think that you would fall in love with the eyeshadows.

    Can you recommend must have shades from Shu Uemura? FYI, I like shimmer. 🙂

    This is surely a huge lost for the entire beauty community because Shu Uemura was such a creative genius.

    Really sad news 🙁

    I love his products and the was he uses colour- a true make-up artist.

    If you have to try something from Shu Uemura, its got to be the Lash curlers and the Glow-On blushes.

    R.I.P Shu, what a loss, but a massive thanks for what you’ve done for make-up !

I have worked in cosmetics for years…and i truly can say i love this line like no other! come check out spring collection.. it is the last collection Mr. Uemura did, and its amazing.. and the nail polishes are beautiful too.. didyou know he designed the nail polish to fit in between a womans fingers? thats one of the things i love that there is somuch detail in everything.. anyhow .. take care all!!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
