SHU BEGINNINGS

This spring, Shu also brings you three new colors to covet, to match your favorite Sweet lipgloss welcome the blooming hues of Lime, Orchid and Rosemary. Brush it on and drool over the sheer pearly silver finsh.

What’s new in the fight kingdom of Shu? Brace yourself for the new lickable and kissable flavors from the best-selling Sweet lipgloss line. Indulge in Ochid Candy, Lime Marmalade, Rose Candy, Orange Marmalade, Nectarine Jam and Sakura Candy. Guaranteed sugar-buster friendly, only to make your bussers plump and nothing else.

Glow with Shu Uemura’s White Recovery line. The intensive skin care line which consists of WR lotion, essence, emulsion and cream is loaded with natural whitening extracts such as Gentiana extract, Kippi extract, Molassess extract, Glabdrin and AA2G a vitamin C derivative. Your Shu Uemura consultant will guide you into using the products accordingly. Contrary to what it’s called, White Recovery won’t liquid paper you out! Rather it has two actions, which is to limit melanin production and to create a brighter and more luminous complexion. So it does not matter if you prefer a delicate pallor or a sexy tan, White Recovery works both ways in giving you a more even tone.

To finish off that perfect complexion, pat on WR Whitening Powder. Hypochondriacs can relax, for the sophisticated WR powder again simply brightens and creates a veil of translucency using the effects of three primary colors of light. When combined the red, green and blue create a bright white light. WR Whitening Powder also contains iridescent pearls to give skin a glow. Remember that in sophisticated cosmetic jargon, whitening means creating luminosity, not going kabuki. You’ll need ceruse for that.
