shu uemura collector eye shadow palette giveaway!
Japanese artistry makeup brand shu uemura is one of my favourite beauty brands. Not only does it offer excellent quality, but it excels with its creative collaborations and shade choices. This brand thinks outside the box with each new launch which is why I feature it so often on Cityline. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to watch a shu makeup artist from Japan apply makeup you’ll know how precise the placement of colour is. These artists approach makeup like a fine artist does working on a portrait or oil painting. It is remarkable to watch.
One of my favourite shu collaborations was with Japanese athletic brand Onitsuka Tiger, known for its volleyball footwear. It was bold, energetic and youthful.
“When this collaboration was started, what came up in my mind is the healthy and active women wearing bright colour makeup back in the 1980s, reflecting the time of the fitness boom,” explains Uchiide, Shu Uemura International Artistic Director. “It was the proposal of the founder Mr. shu uemura’s beauty look. I feel that beyond the limit looks similar in its expression, and its spirit is to challenge the limits and elevate its height, and to cheer the ones who challenge to elevate their beauty. Bold-coloured makeup inspired by Onitsuka Tiger’s spirits and stripes will certainly bring your beauty to new heights.”
A Collector Eye Palette with Energy and Spirit: Beyond the Limit
This special shu uemura eye palette featured eight carefully curated shades to help you create daring and fashionable summer looks that go beyond your imagination. You’ll notice that a pop of indigo blue and summer orange is balanced with softer neutral shades. There is a mix of glitter, pearl and matte textures to play with. It comes in a sleek zip compact decorated with the Tiger racing stripes.
THE GIVEAWAY: I gave away a shu uemura x Onitsuka Tiger Eye Palette in “Beyond the Limit” to one lucky reader. To enter, I asked readers to tell me in a blog comment below how they would rate this palette on a scale of 1 to 10. Louisa W from the UK told me and I drew her name from all entries. Congrats Louisa!
shu uemura is available in Canada online at shuuemura.ca

June 25, 2021 at 4:22 pmTo start off, anything made by SHU UEMURA I will love but this and the other shu eyeshadow palette are stunning and I would wear every color until I could get every last bit of powder out of the individual pans. I can see how beautiful and easy it would be to create your own personalized colors by combining the colors yourself. WOWEE is all I can say. For those who know me, if I stated this palette left me speechless, I doubt anyone would believe me but it sure comes close. I love the palette holder just as much as the colors it holds. It’s a given I’d rate it a 10+++++++++++++.
Shared on all my social networks. Good luck to all and have a wonderful weekend. @DianeLori

June 23, 2021 at 11:53 pmI would definitely give this a 10/10! I once owned some of these same Shu Uemura colours back in the late 80s when I was in Japan. Believe it or not, this brand was sold in relatively low-key beauty stores (like drug store cosmetics) and I never really knew what a huge brand it was until it came to Canada many years ago. I remember being drawn to the orange shadow in my original palette and I can’t tell you how amazing it looked with blue eyes!
Lovely prize Dave …. 💜❤️💜

June 23, 2021 at 8:22 pmI’m going to go for 10/10 – makeup is something I love, and I love great quality, but they’re considered purchases for me. I’m a mature student (35) and money is tight.
I wouldn’t get the chance to pick up a palette like this, because i can’t look and it and imagine how it would work for me, I’d have to watch you tube tutorials.
I used to manage a gin bar and I’m trying to find my new identity, for a host of reasons. My makeup has always been a little eccentric, I’m told. I’m trying to discover a range of eyeshadow palettes which cover working in the career service a day a week, attending lectures where you can really express yourself and some for date nights.
I love to play around with my makeup and I miss the days where I had the money to buy all the eyeshadow palettes but studying to go where I want to go, is worth it.
I also attend psychology conferences etc, and I want to go all the way to becoming a physician, spending half my time seeing patients who have been failed by ‘the system’ and half my time researching and trying to help bring about change.
Right now I’m trying to find and purchase different palettes for different settings, and the fun one would not be in my budget. I’d love to play with it and bring out my ‘eccentric side’. (High-Functioning Autistic – I do me 😂)
One has to conform to society sometimes with their makeup, but I prefer not to! I’ve never tried their eyeshadows so this would be an amazing win! They’re so innovative, it’d be a lot of fun.
