Shu Uemura is the cosmetics line lauded by thousands as the creator of the world’s most comfortable and effective eyelash curler, (you can count me as one of those thousands, by the way ).

The Shu line continues to innovate and this is more than apparent in their Rouge Unlimited Crystal Shine lipstick.  Touting (and delivering, I might add) pure shades that are un-replicated and unique to Shu, thanks to exclusive hybrid pigments, as well as light-catching shine from the ‘Spectral Booster’ crystals, this is the perfect summer lipstick.

The Rouge Unlimited Crystal Shine lipstick is available in 17 shades, including one artist’s shade of Irridescent White, which would be a very useful tool to manipulate and bend colours.

Shu has broken their colour range down into 5 categories to easily navigate the choices.  They are: Beige-Brown, Pink, Red Wine, Orange and Artistic Shade.

Shu Uemura Rouge Unlilmited

Crystal Shine lipstick in WN 246 S (Rosy Mauve)

I test drove the incredibly wearable WN 246 S (also referred to as Rosy Mauve) and LOVED it.   This formula is a sheer wash of colour, but don’t take that to mean that it is by any stretch watered-down.  This shade is a pure flush of shimmering colour that is absolutely perfect for summer.  This colour, in this formula, would look stunning on such a vast range of skin tones and lip pigmentation.

The formula also contains the most beautiful shimmer effect that almost makes your lips appear glossy, despite the formula being a very comfortable cream forumula.  I also tried this lipstick with a tiny bit of clear gloss over the top.  My lips looked incredibly shimmery, but without a ton of product.  The definite notables:

+ Great range of colours.

+  Beautiful shimmer.  Not a glitter, therfore zero gritty, glitter feel.

+  No smell and no taste.  A big plus in my book.

+ Feels incredibly hydrating on the lips

+ This formula (colour density) will work very well for women of colour.
