This review of Shu Uemura Drawing Crayons volition live curt together with sweet.
Very curt together with really sweet, because different the freakshow that was Shu Uemura Blanc:Chroma cushion foundation, these crayons are awesome.
Which alone proves what we've all known for ages - Shu Uemura does oculus makeup well. Does oculus makeup remarkably well.
And no, this is non a sponsored review - I bought these.
I am a huge Shu Uemura fangirl, I can't deny it. Even though Shu skincare leaves me feeling meh, their indicate makeup to a greater extent than than compensates for that.
I convey already written close my collection of Shu Uemura Drawing Pencils.
Today nosotros volition utter close Shu Uemura Drawing Crayons.
What is it?
Basically, your criterion big, fatty crayon that industrial plant every bit an oculus shadow, or - according to Shu - every bit an eyeliner.
I role them every bit oculus shadows.
They are waterproof, long wearing, non-smudging colors that stay-on-forever inwards a truthful Shu Uemura fashion.
The colors are beautiful soft pastels - perfect for spring.
The swatches I convey seen on the meshwork await awfully photoshopped amongst saturation together with vibrance cranked upwards to the max.
In reality, they are much softer together with subtle - fifty-fifty the brilliant hues similar bluish or green.
The whole collection consists of 12 colors.
They are marked every bit thou for matte, P for pearly, together with southward for shimmer (in simply about countries, similar Malaysia, shimmer shades are non marked every bit S, together with then live careful).
I convey these 6 colors:
- Pearly Brown
- Pearly Yellow Gold (doesn't appear to live available anymore inwards Japan)
- Pearly Purple
- Pearly Soft Orange
- Pearly Pink (number 1 pop color, according to Shu Uemura Japan)
- Matte Soft Brown.
And this is how they swatch.
No photoshop together with no filters applied!
Swatches of Shu Uemura Drawing Crayons:
As you lot tin see, all of them are really wearable, everyday colors.
I am clueless when it comes to traditional oculus shadows, I don't know how to role them, how to apply them together with how to blend them.
Eye shadow crayons are my salvation. Just depict a line, smear it a combat amongst your finger together with you're expert to go. That's how I roll. Fiddling together with picayune amongst brushes requires a degree of makeup skills that I simply don't have. And at my age, I am every bit good former to master. So it's sticks together with crayons for me all the way.
Same every bit Shu Uemura Drawing Pencils, these crayons are made inwards Germany.
They are really former school. You volition withdraw to sharpen them. You volition withdraw a big, fatty Shu Uemura sharpener here.
Let me repeat it, these are NOT the twist type. These are the former schoolhouse sharpening type.
To most Shu fans that is pretty obvious, but to newcomers to the build it powerfulness live a combat of a shock. One reviewer on the American Shu site complained that "they are expert for alone a few times together with in that place is no agency to larn to a greater extent than crayon."
Yes darling, in that place is a agency to larn to a greater extent than crayon, it's called sharpening.
To me it's non a bargain breaker, but I know to many people powerfulness be.
Not certain who'd live interested inwards the ingredients, but hither they are, simply inwards case.
Shu Uemura Drawing Crayon ingredients:
How much?
2800 yen summation tax.
H5N1 combat on the steep side, but we're non talking close L'Oreal Infallible® Eye Shadow Crayons here.
Incidentally, Shu Uemura is a L'Oreal brand, together with it's been said that the Infallibles build for expert Shu dupes. Personally I don't know, together with then can't confirm.
From what I've seen on them innernets, L'Oreal Infallibles are much to a greater extent than shimmery amongst quite large glitter particles.
These Shu crayons are to a greater extent than inwards line of piece of occupation amongst Clinique Chubby Sticks Shadow Tint for Eyes. But Clinique sticks are non every bit long lasting every bit Shu Uemura Drawing Crayons. However, on the summation side, they don't withdraw to live sharpened.
(And I convey a crapton of those, together with then I definitely tin confirm.)
You convey all the pros together with cons.
My verdict?
I dearest them.
If I had to a greater extent than disposable income, I'd purchase all 12 colors.
