Shu Uemura’s Painting Gel Liner Collection.

Shu Uemura’s ultra-smooth, highly pigmented, long lasting gel eyeliners are just what this wanna-be makeup artist longs for. The new Painting Gel Liner Collection is a variety of artistically selected shades and textures, making it fun to mix and match colors for unlimited possibilities.

The colors are all beautiful. Nine shades range from the darkest shades we normally expect, plus some vivid accent colors, and some with glitter and full wattage shine.

The liners apply beautifully and glide on without tugging. You have about a minute or so to play with the liner once applies. After that, the line is there and there to stay, as my favorite part about these gel liners is just how resistant they are to sweat and tears. The formula does not allow for fading, flaking, chipping or smudging.

The Painting Gel Liner shade lineup:

• Black
• Night Blue
• Brown
• White - which I use to soften the darker or brighter colors for my own custom look
• Vivid Blue
• Green
• Purple
• Gold
• Silver

The Painting Gel Liners are available now on counters, Shu Uemura boutiques as well as online.

Shu Uemura 25th Boutique Birthday.

Late to the game as always, I never tried anything from Shu Uemura until late last year. I cannot fathom how I have not lived with some of his beauties, especially because he opened his first boutique back in 1983. Yes, 25 years ago.

In those 25 years, each year Shu Uemura has created a limited edition Boutique Birthday collection. This years collection, which is also the 2008 Summer collection, is absolutely 100% gorgeous - in true Shu tradition. The core values of nature, science and art come to life in this collection. Three 100% natural origin fragrances that are formulated with Despea Water, as well as some beautiful makeup products that are packaged in the designs of Tokyo-based artist Gwenael Nicolas are the highlights.

Look at these gorgeous eyeshadow palettes! $65 each, they are a bit on the expensive side, but just looking at the collectible palettes and the gorgeous shadows they contain make me want them nonetheless. My pick is the Fleur de Source palette with it's bevy of blue shades.
