I got truly mad a few weeks agone in addition to inwards a agree of anger tossed all the horrid Clio Gelpresso eyeliners I had gotten non thence long before. After the fiasco of Etude House Play 101 pencils (garbage), and Tosowoong eyeliners (also garbage), I don't know what I expected from Clio. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 miracle perhaps?
Well, I got to a greater extent than garbage instead.
There volition travel no review of Clio, because honestly, who cares. All you lot demand to know most what I mean value of Clio Gelpresso eyeliners, you lot already guide maintain read above.
It is inwards such frustrating moments that I realize, fourth dimension in addition to again, that I much rather prefer western oculus makeup. Especially, makeup that doesn't require a Jedi primary grade brush skills. Because I loathe makeup brushes thence much that my groin hurts.
And that brings us to today's contestants - Shu Uemura Drawing Pencils. They are precisely that - simple, old-school oculus pencils, oculus liners, oculus whatevers. No demand for fancy names here. You desire chubby caviar cream shadow sticks, thence instruct elsewhere.
You desire simple, functional, slow to use, everything-proof pencils, thence Shu Uemura's got you lot covered.
Kilka tygodni temu wkurzylam sie strasznie i wywalilam te koszmarki Clio Gelpresso do oczu. Dlaczego? Bo po klapie jaka okazaly sie byc kredki Etude House Play 101 (dno i wodorosty), i Tosowoong kredki do oczu (bardzo blisko dna), sama nie wiem czego oczekiwalam od Clio. Cudu moze? (linki do obu wpisow w paragrafie powyzej)
Zamiast cudu dostalam kolejne gowna.
Nie bedzie recenzji kredek Clio, bo wszystko co mam do powiedzenia na ich temat, jest w zdaniu powyzej.
I to w chwili wlasnie takiej frustracji zdalam sobie sprawe, po raz n-ty, ze wole zachodnie specyfiki do makijazu oczu niz koreanskie. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 zwlaszcza wole specyfiki, ktore nie wymagaja ode mnie umiejetnosci poslugiwania sie pedzlem na poziomie mistrza Jedi. Bo ja nienawidze pedzli do makijazu.
I ta pedzlowa nienawisc przynosi nam dzisiejszych zawodnikow - Shu Uemura Drawing Pencils. Zwykle, proste, tradycyjne eyelinery. Nie potrzeba im zadnych fikusnych nazw.
Jesli podniecaja cie chubby caviar cream shadow sticks, to nie czytaj dalej.
Ale jesli szukasz solidnych, funkcjonalnych, latwych w obsludze, i nie do zdarcia kolorowych olowkow do mazania po oczach, to Shu Uemura oferuje wlasnie to.
"Wait! Didn't you lot state 'western' oculus makeup?", I listen you lot say.
"So why the hell you're talking most Shu Uemura, you lot crazy bitch", I listen you lot say. "Isn't Shu Uemura, like, you lot know, Japanese, in addition to stuff?"
All valid questions (and don't you lot merely love having these discussions amongst the voices inwards your head?), but the answers may travel different from what you lot expect.
Yes, "western" oculus makeup, because Shu Uemura Drawing Pencils are made inwards Germany. In the same manufactory that makes oculus liners in addition to oculus crayons for Maybelline in addition to Lancome.
How come?
All 3 are L'Oreal brands.
Yes, my honey lovelies, inwards illustration you lot didn't know, directly you lot know, Shu Uemura is a L'Oreal brand.
So spell Shu powerfulness guide maintain been a purely Japanese concept ane time upon a fourth dimension when the public was however young, directly it's firmly inwards the hands of its French overlords.
It's the contrary of NARS, which is truly owned past times Shiseido...
"No ale zaraz! Mowilas, ze wolisz zachodnie kosmetyki do oczu. Wiec dlaczego teraz gledzisz o Shu Uemura?" - sie pytasz.
"Przeciez Shu Uemura to japonska marka, czyz nie?" - to tez dobre pytanie.
Niestety odpowiedz na nie moze byc inna niz moglibysmy sie spodziewac.
Tak, "zachodnie kosmetyki", bo Shu Uemura kredki do oczu produkowane sa w Niemczech. W tej samej fabryce, ktora robi kredki dla Lancome i Maybelline.
A dlaczego tam?
Bo wszystkie te trzy marki pochodza ze stajni L'Oreal.
Tak, moi drodzy. Choc nazwa jest japonska, to Shu Uemura jest jedna z wielu marek nalezacych do firmy L'Oreal.
Poczatki Shu Uemury byly japonskie, ale to bylo dawno temu w galaktyce daleko stad. Teraz Shu nalezy do miedzynarodowego koncernu jakim jest L'Oreal.
Czyli dokladnie odwrotnie niz NARS, bo ta marka nalezy do japonskiego koncernu - Shiseido.
Anyway, where were we?
Ah yes, Shu Uemura Drawing Pencils...
Ale o czym mysmy tu sobie gadu gadu rozmawiali?
No tak, o Shu Uemura Drawing Pencil kredkach do oczu.
I bought my commencement 2 Shu Uemura Drawing Pencils concluding year, inwards Seoul, of all places. I had no intention of buying whatsoever oculus stuff. I went over to the Shu counter at Lotte subdivision store to play amongst foundations. But the sales man child at that spot (yep, he looked similar a man child to me, cute in addition to adorable) was thence crafty, he truly convinced me I absolutely needed these pencils.
He set his mitt inwards mine in addition to said, inwards English, "please rub this".
It had been a long fourth dimension since a young, practiced looking human asked me to rub anything of his, thence I jumped at the chance.
He pointed to the colorful stripes on his mitt in addition to challenged me to smudge them. I accepted the challenge in addition to rubbed amongst all my might, but the stripes stayed set in addition to wouldn't budge.
"Give me them at that spot crayons," I heard myself say.
The man child did my oculus makeup to assist me select which colors I preferred, selected a mount of samples, in addition to said that if I paid cash, he could give me fifty-fifty to a greater extent than gratis stuff.
I paid cash.
These are the colors I got inwards Seoul:
Moje pierwsze Shu Uemura Drawing Pencils kupilam w Seulu w zeszlym roku. Nie mialam zamiaru kupowac niczego do oczu. Poszlam do Lotte departamentu macac Shu'owe podklady. Ale chloptas obslugujacy stoisko (tak chloptas, slodki i uroczy) pokazal mi, ze absolutnie i koniecznie potrzebuje tych kredek w moim zyciu. Jak sprzedawca spisal sie na szostke. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 nawet na siodemke.
Zlapal mnie za reke, polozyl swoja dlon na mojej, spojrzal mi gleboko w oczy, i powiedzial "potrzyj troche." Oj to byly juz wieki cale, kiedy mlody, dorodny chlopak prosil mnie o potarcie czegokolwiek na swoim ciele, wiec ochoczo zabralam sie do dziela.
On wskazal ma kolorowe paski na swoim przedramieniu i kazal je rozmazac. Dalam z siebie wszystko, pewnie skore bym mu zdarla, ale paski zostaly nienaruszone.
"Dawaj mi te teraz tu kredki! Chce je natychmiast!" wyszlo z moich ust jak odruch bezwarunkowy.
Chloptas umalowal mi oko, zeby dobrac odpowiednie kolory. I powiedzial, ze jak zaplace gotowka, to moze mi dorzucic wiecej probek i miniowek niz zwykle.
Zaplacilam gotowka.
Kolory, ktore kupilam w Seulu, to te:
- Left / po lewej - Shu Uemura Drawing Pencil inwards grand (matte) Brick Brown 84
- Right / po prawej - Shu Uemura Drawing Pencil inwards P (pearly) Light Orange 21
And yes, you lot also encounter a sharpener, because that is the entirely affair that pisses me off most these pencils. They are real old-school, you lot gotta sharpen them.
I had plans to purchase more, thence ane time I returned to Japan, I hopped over to the Omotesando Shu branch, in addition to promptly gave up.
The worst client service ever.
Let's merely state that it was thence bad it successfully set me off visiting whatsoever Shu Uemura counters inwards Nippon for over a year.
Instead, I had to hold off for international trips in addition to store duty free.
And in all probability it would guide maintain stayed that way, if non for my friend who asked me to selection upwards a few things for her at the one-time Fukudaya shopping mall concluding weekend.
Yep, at that spot was a Shu Uemura counter there. Yep, the staff was clueless in addition to unhelpful. Next time, damn it, I'm gonna store online. I'm done amongst those Shu morons.
I picked upwards ane to a greater extent than drawing pencil. And a bunch of things that my friend wanted.
The pencils come upwards packaged inwards foil, because apparently, Shu is likewise inexpensive for proper boxes:
Wzielam jeszcze jeden z tych olowkow. I pare rzeczy, ktorych domagala sie kolezanka.
Olowki te sa zapakowane tylko w folie, bo jak widac, niestety Shu jest zbyt skapy (oszczedny?) na porzadne pudelka:
This is a nightmare when you lot purchase them at the airport, every bit the pencil is at the mercy of your purse.
The argent ane is a express edition pattern - Maison Kitsune for Shu Uemura, in addition to dissimilar the others, this ane is called "play & remix drawing pencil". How real fancy.
Brak pudelka to koszmar jesli kupuje sie na lotnisku, bo wiadomo, ze w torbie w samolocie cuda sie dzieja.
Ten srebrny to edycja limitowana - Maison Kitsune dla Shu Uemura, i choc jest identyczny jak cala ich reszta, 10 nazywa sie "play & remix drawing pencil." No bo musialo byc edycyjnie i limitowanie.
Not certain who would travel interested inwards eyeliner ingredients, but hither they are:
Nie wiem kogo interesowalby sklad kredki do oczu, ale w razie czego tutaj jest:
And yes, indeed, they are made inwards Germany:
No i rzeczywiscie, sa robione u sasiadow za Odra:
Shu Uemura Drawing Pencils come upwards inwards 4 different finishes:
Shu Uemura Drawing Pencils sa dostepne w czterech rowznych wykonczeniach
- M - for matte / matowy
- G - for glitter / brokatowy (z drobinkami)
- P - for pearly / perlowy (opalizujacy)
- ME - for metallic element / metaliczny
There are 21 colors inwards all, I think.
I guide maintain these:
Dostepnych jest ponoc 21 odcieni.
Ja mam te:
Unedited photograph inwards natural light.
Shu Uemura Drawing Pencils:

- - P Light Orange 21
- - G Gold 93
- - grand Chestnut Brown 81
- - P Light Green 52
- - G Silver 92

What do I similar most them?
They are soft. Their consistency in addition to texture are perfect. They are beautifully pigmented. They are slow to apply. They don't tug in addition to don't pull. They don't smudge in addition to remain perfect until it's fourth dimension to remov eyour oculus makeup. They tin travel blended, but you lot gotta blend fast. Once these babies set, you'll demand a serious oculus makeup remover to withdraw them. According to the description, they tin travel used every bit a liner, or a shadow.
What don't I similar most them?
You gotta sharpen these f*ckers.
Co w nich lubie?
Sa mieciutkie. Tekstura i konsystencja to czysta perfekcja. Napigmentowanie - bajka. Latwe w obsludze. Nie szarpia i nie ciagna. Nie rozmazuja sie i siedza na oczach az do chwili demakijazu. Mozna je blendowac, ale trzeba do robic cholernie szybko. Inaczej kolor zastygnie i wtedy bez dwufazowki ani rusz. Wedlug opisu producenta, mozna je uzywac do rysowania kresek (eyeliner), albo jako cien na powieke (eyeshadow).
Co w nich nie lubie?
Trzeba je temperowac.
See? It's non that difficult to build a perfect oculus pencil. You can't compare the Etude Houses of this public to Shu Uemura. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 L'Oreal brand, or not.
I wanted you lot to rub my hand, too. Because they truly don't smudge, thence I made this handy gif:
Widzicie? Nie jest tak trudno wyprodukowac kredke idealna (no prawie, bo to ostrzenie ostrzynka to tak old-skoolowo). Nie ma co porownywac Etude House'ow tego swiata do Shu Uemura.
Ja tez chcialam, zeby ktos wdziecznie pocieral moja reke, wiec zrobilam tego gifa. Bo te Drawing Pencils naprawde sie nie smuza.
My commencement always gif, yay!!!
Now it tin entirely instruct better.
How much is a Shu Uemura Drawing Pencil going to toll you? Anywhere from 22 to 27 dollars a pop, depending on where inwards the public you lot are, in addition to if you lot are shopping duty free.
Too much for you?
Well, approximate what?
This is thence unexpected that fifty-fifty I am surprised. It turns out that Maybelline Vivid in addition to Smooth Liners past times EyeStudio are quite respectable dupes for Shu.
I suppose I shouldn't travel surprised. After all, both Shu Uemura in addition to Maybelline are L'Oreal brands, in addition to both of them build their pencils inwards the same manufactory inwards Germany.
So, what do I love to a greater extent than than Shu Uemura Drawing Pencils?
Shu Uemura Drawing Crayons, that's what!
Stay tuned!
