Shu Uemura palette £10*
Blusher M561 £16*
Shadow P131 £11*
Shadow ME885 £11*
A couple of weeks ago I went along to the Shu Uemura shop in Covent Garden to have a play with some of their products. We spent the first half of the evening watching a makeup demonstration and the second half... ready for it... building our own palettes!
We tested out their amazing cleansing oils, but the highlight of the night was discovering their 'Style your Own' palettes. The palettes are available as a single, duo or quad and you can fill it with either just shadows, just blushers or a mix of both. In my palette I have 1 blusher and 2 shadows and this kind of palette would cost you £48. It is expensive and it's definitely at the higher end of makeup, but it does show in the quality. The blusher is really pigmented and you only need a tiny amount and the shadow colours are gorgeous. There were so many amazing shadows, some with really interesting undertone colours - I'd definitely recommend checking them out.
These are really good if you want to make yourself the perfect on the go palette or if you want to give it as a gift. They'll be on counters from September so keep an eye out!
Have you ever tried Shu Uemura makeup? Would you like a 'build your own' palette like this?

What a great idea - I would love to build my own perfect palette but the price is a bit off putting - like you say it's a bit expensive! But if the quality is that good then maybe it's worth it. I may have to beg the more affluent family members nearer to my birthday...

I love these create your own palette ideas but they are all so expensive! A cheap but good quality brand needs to use the same idea!!

ReplyDeleteA bit expensive but if you're paying for the quality and easy of use then it really must be worth the price (I hope)

The idea of building your own palette is really fun. I will definitely pop in to the store when I'm at Covent gardens. x
ReplyDeleteThis looks way too much fun! I've never tried their makeup, but it seems a bit expensive for a student :(
ReplyDeleteI really like Shu Uemura products but I don't own any at the moment. These mix and match palettes look fantastic though!

Nice! I went to a Shu event a couple of months ago and had a great time. Like you, we first watched a makeup application demo then got to play with the makeup ourselves a bit! I didn't come home with any of their makeup, but purchased and am loving their cleanisng oil, blush brush, and UV Underbase primer. I'm a total sucker for palettes in general, though, so I'd love to customize my own at some point :)
