Every woman wants their makeup to last because nothing is quite as frustrating as having to reapply more than once a day. I discovered Shu Uemura a few years back and it’s safe to say that a lot of their products work on my skin: Asian and slightly sensitive. I’m not really a fan of applying layers of foundation so, I asked the peeps at Shu Uemura what products I should use to achieve an effortless yet immaculate look. Here are the top 5 products:
Tsuya Essence (RM259.70)
Mr. Shu Uemura believes that the perfect makeup routine starts with beautiful skin and that begins with the Tsuya Essence, an innovative and premium skincare from Shu Uemura, which helps rid of dull, rough and tired-looking skin. This product has received some insane reviews, and while a little steep in price, it’s worth the purchase. It’s very lightweight and can be used as a serum before your favourite moisturiser.
POREraser CC Mousse (RM134.62)
There are a lot of makeup base products that really hits the right note and the POREraser CC Mousse by Shu Uemura is one of them. This product delivers on all the promises it makes, such as holding your makeup intact. Ask any beauty experts and they will suggest this little bottle of wonder. The mousse texture makes it very lightweight and non-greasy, which is always a plus to makeup fanatics. It also protects your skin from harmful rays with its SPF 35+++ factor. If you live in a humid climate and want your pores to look smaller, this is definitely the product to have.
Lightbulb UV Compact (RM150.24)
Looking to switch up your foundation of choice? Why not try the Shu Uemura Lightbulb UV Compact? This brand truly understand the difference a good foundation makes, especially on Asian skin and the Lightbulb UV Compact is very fuss-free. The soft sheer powder of this product helps your face from caking up and gives your skin an illuminating glow, which helps keep you looking fresh-faced all day long.
Tint in Gelato (RM93.75)
I’m a big fan of anything that’s 2-in-1 and the Tint in Gelato by Shu Uemura is one of them! For those that are not in-the-know, the Tint in Gelato is a lip and cheek tint. It comes in 12 different shades and is one of Shu Uemura’s most in-demand items. It’s also got a very mousse-like texture yet still remains very sheer. It’s got a mixture of matte and creamy finish, and with so many shades to choose from, you’re most likely to find one that suits you best. My favourite had to be the CR01, which had a cool coral tone.
Calligraph:Ink Liquid Liner (RM137.80)
This product is reliable because it lasts almost an entire day and the unique brush makes it an easy process to draw a fine line. I’m certain that I speak for a lot of women that it’s close to impossible when it comes to looking for the right eyeliner. This eyeliner will also give you the blackest of black line in one swift stroke. It’s also refillable, and any makeup that’s cost-effective while doing its job is one that usually remains a favourite.
