Shu Uemura Fall 08 Instinct
August 27, 2008 shu uemura never fails to impress me. Their new Instinct Fall 2008 Mode Make-Up is full of gorgeous wearable colors that are elegant and sensual. The 127th collection is created by hot new artistic director Kakuyasu Uchiide, and it channels the brand's true spirit.
The Duo Eyeshadows are amazing! I love them all. The cream & powder color combos are so easily buildable. From light-to-dramatic looks, you can wear them together or separately. I love tantalizer (forest green & gold) and mesmerizer (purple & silvery grey). mystifier is a great tool for insta-smoky eye.
The Glow On blushes are really nice and natural. lust is a reddish pink with a very light pearl finish, while pulse is a light warm pink for a delicate flush. steam is just really great as an overall highlighter.
The limited edition Luring Powder is a lovely barely-there pinky finishing powder. The complexion will have a tantalizing sheen with a sheer coverage. Apply with a brush along the hairline and heightened parts of the face to impart a natural and healthy glow.
There are two latest additions to the Rouge Unlimted Crystal Shine family - crimson dazzle and brown dazzle. I like the former one, as it's a toned down version of 165S. The brown is a lovely neutral shine, not too dark and vampy, perfect for fall.
I also love the Vinyl Unlimited lip glosses. The colors are pretty vibrant with an extreme lacquer texture -no need for a lip pencil base. The innovative 3D matrix of vinyl brilliance results in a super pouty lip. It comes in five vibrant colors and three fun top coats for layering (transparent, pearly, and iridescent). My faves are the RD165, BG937 (for neutral lip), PK359, and the CL010/CL011 top coats.
Also check out the new Brightening Cleansing Oil. Dull skin, dark spots, and inflammation is cleared up with this 2-in-1 makeup remover/cleanser. Skin tone is revitalized with the famous Depsea water, prune extract, and sakura leaf. Great for all skin types, it helps reverse the summer UV damage.
