Shu Uemura Autumn/Winter 2013: Eye-Conic

Shu Uemura just keeps on reinventing the wheel! I couldn’t love these more if I tried. They’re the shades from the Eye-Conic autumn/winter range and are designed to go inside the famous Shu palettes. In this case, it’s a swirly, retro looking thing (no image yet) so the whole effect is flower power and then some. It’s rather special because its their 30th anniversary collection.

You can get the picture from the campaign image above. Pucci on fire!

So, the line-up from left to right: Purple, Yellow Brown, Coral Pink, Green Blue and a blush duo, in Orange. The shadow refils are £22 and the blush is £22.

One of the best things is that the combinations aren’t pre-chosen for you – pick what you like and stick it in the palette (£10), which takes one eye combo and one cheek or two eyes or even two cheeks. I’m sure there is a maths equation that would result in there being 8,337,000 different ways to combine but sadly, I can’t find my calculator (*not even looking*).

I’ve got a couple of the Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte – above is Pink 345 while below is Beige 930.

A word of warning on the above beige shade matte.. I’ve just tried it (beautiful, silky texture) but it is SO beige it literally blots our your lips. It’s a very odd look – I certainly can’t get away with it – very stylised and very sixties.

As well as the above, there are some beautiful rainbow lashes and a couple of liners too. I’m not sure when this launches into stores but I’ll update when I know.
