Shu Uemura Summer 2009 Collection: Eternal Gold



The Art of Beauty Meets the Energy of the Sun

This summer, the art of true beauty merges with the everlasting energy of the sun in Shu Uemura’s summer 2009 collection Eternal Gold. Skin illuminates with a range of shades and textures that capture and reflect the golden rays of one of the world’s most venerated natural phenomena. With sheer veils of gold, beige and pink, discover a shimmering glow and beautifully bronzed tan that will leave you in an aura of light throughout the summer solstice.




UV UNDER BASE MOUSSE SHIMMER SPF 10 – STAR PRODUCT!
This limited-edition shimmering under base creates a radiant complexion while smoothing and evening out skintone. The beautiful mousse texture melts into skin allowing three different types of pearls to spread evenly across the face, highlighting it with a subtle glow. Golden Pearls catch the sun's rays to reflect a soft shimmer. As fine White Pearls add a bit of iridescence, delicate Red Pearls wrap skin in a healthy glow. Hammamelis extract helps tighten pores, while fluoride coated pigments resist water and oil to keep color true and fresh. Best applied with Shu Uemura’s Pentagon Sponge. Suggested Retail Price: $35.00

BRONZING POWDER – NEW!
For a beautiful, bronzed finish with a sheer glow, enhance skin with one of three shades of Bronzing Powder. Transparent powders prevent a white and ashy finish by absorbing sweat and sebum. Large Plate Micas reflect light creating a glowing finish, while multiple pearl effects create the desired look. Double Red Pearls give a natural reddish appearance and the Golden Pearls enhance skin’s glow. The pressed formula controls the amount of powder taken onto the brush for a natural-looking application. Use with Goat Brush Natural 50H. Available in Light, Medium and Dark. Suggested Retail Price: $38.00

GOAT BRUSH NATURAL 50H – NEW!
New and permanent to Shu Uemura’s vast array of makeup brushes, this tool is perfect for any pressed or loose powder.

Shu Uemura: The PINK Collection



If you like pink (me, me, me), this is a lip collection you'll drool over!

Introducing Shu Uemura's Pink Collection. Pink hybrid pigment creates a revolution in color lipsticks and glosses made of never-before-seen pinks. Uh huh, yep, that's what I said, never-before-seen.

Sounds exciting? Well it is.
As the leader in color and science, Shu Uemura breaks the boundaries of conventional color with this collection, a series of lipsticks and glosses made with a Pink Hybrid Pigment, one of the purest pink pigments ever discovered and patented by the cult Japanese beauty company. Thanks to this breakthrough, this lip collection boasts the most vibrant hues available, creating new and unique shades of pink (never seen before).



THE TECHNOLOGY
Until now, pink’s color palette was limited due to the conventional way in which shades were processed and created. This standard method mixes red and white pigments, which create irregular shaped and sized particles that produce dull, muddy pinks. The Pink Hybrid Pigment, which was discovered by Shu Uemura laboratories, is made up of a fusion between a mineral core and an organic shell, which produces particles that are perfectly round and regular in shape. This consistency is what makes the hues of the lipstick so bright and pure. This is what creates the new and unique hues of pink seen in the collection with shades that range from never before seen light, yellowish, dark and bluish pinks.




The Pink Collection is comprised of nine new Rouge Unlimited lipsticks, shades in a range of pink colors designed to flatter the complexion and five new shades of Gloss Unlimited formulas delivering unprecedented pureness of the color pink. Lipstick and gloss pairings (the duos) are also available.

Rouge Unlimited lipsticks retail for $23 each, Gloss Unlimited for $22 each and the paired duo sets go for $45. Available April 2009 at shuuemura-usa.com, Shu Uemura boutiques and counters nationwide.
