Beauty Shopping in Singapore: Shu Uemura Eye Shadow

This is the other beauty that landed in my tote bag while beauty shopping in Singapore. I’m hoping it will satisfy my craving for new eye makeup. Er, it hasn’t fully satisfied it but I guess it’s a start.

Shu Uemura
Pressed Eye Shadow

Empowered Eyes: Intense Colors. Various Effects. Single eye shadows with light-capturing powders in 4 different lasting effects.

- Micro-fine powders: 2 different shapes adhere firmly to skin for an even, long-lasting finish
- Silicone-coated powder: results in truest color pay-off and a non-fading finish
- Light capturing powders: absorb and reflect light for a multi-dimensional finish
- Apply sheer or layer for intensity. May be used as eye liner with dampened eye liner brush

4 powders in 4 finishes: Matte (M), Pearl (P), Iridescent (IR) and Metallic (ME).

I got Shu Uemura’s ME Green 450 Pressed Eye Shadow. The ME means the eye shadow is metallic. Apart from it being a favourite colour, it’s still one of the colours I love in eye makeup, next are the Taupe/Brown hues.

I’ve only tried it once and I had little time to really try it out properly but I’m already impressed with its staying power. Definitely NOT chalky or powder-y. I even thought it was a cream to powder sort when I was at the Shu counter, that’s how fine I found the powder is.

I’m impressed that I only need a little to come out with a decent layer and if I go for several, I get this really smokey and sultry green that I LOVE! So far, I’m pretty happy with the purchase. I’m even looking into getting it in more shades now.

I’ll try to take a photo and do an FOTD one of these days. Meanwhile, have any of you beauties tried Shu’s eye makeup? Perhaps you can recommend other shades? Right now, I’m looking into getting ME 850 and ME 300.
