SHU UEMURA x YAZBUKEY
shu uemura presents their 2015 spring artist collaboration, joining forces with Paris-based accessory and jewellery designer Yazbukey to create a playfully fun and colourful collection.
Yazbukey, known for its ‘tongue-in-cheek feminine sophisti-pop’, has branded the collaboration with a story from its imagination… what happens when four women fall for the same man? Each product in the collection is adorned with the cartoon-like lips, eyes and speech bubbles of the four friends as they each attempt to woo the object of their affections, Mr Shu Shu.
“I strongly believe that make-up should enhance a person’s individuality… we created four charming beauty looks with Yazbukey,” says Uchiide, international artistic director of shu uemura. “Choose your favourite image and colour just like you select clothes every morning. I’m sure that you will discover a stunning new side to yourself to share with the world.”
With Yazbukey’s coquettish touch, this limited edition shu uemura collection is sure to inject some fun into your makeup routine. The collaboration is extensive, including 14 of shu uemura’s best-selling products. The full range can be viewed here and will hit Australian shu uemura counters in May. We chose some of our favourites from the collection:
i love my shu shu palette (RRP $98)
Let your inner bombshell shine with this palette. Featuring seven eye shadows in four textures (pearl, iridescent, metallic, matte) and one glow on blush, this palette is sure to get you ahead of your rivals in love.
rouge unlimited supreme matte (RRP $39)
Four limited-edition sophisti-pop shades have been created for the collaboration, in shu uemura’s signature lipstick. Blow a kiss to Mr Shu Shu in yaz red, noble pink, sunshine orange or daring violet. The rouge unlimited offers intense pigmentation and a matte finish, but extremely comfortable and long-lasting wear.
POREraser UV under base mousse SPF 35 (RRP $48)
The POREraser UV under base mousse, the new-generation counterpart to shu uemura’s best-selling under base mousse, receives a Yazbukey makeover. Available in two shades (beige and pink), this multi-tasking mousse primes the skin for a flawless makeup finish, reducing the appearance of pores and oiliness.

SHAKE.TWIST.PLAY WITH REDKEN COLOR REBEL
REDKEN has revolutionised temporary hair colour with their new COLOR REBEL. The groundbreaking formula is based on unique water-based ink technology and draws inspiration from pearlescent pigments in makeup products.
Clay is combined with two film-forming styling polymers, to deposit an ultra-fine ‘micro-coating’ of these colour pigments on the surface of each hair strand. Thanks to its innovative ‘shake and twist’ sponge applicator, it is simple to apply, plus the formula dries quickly and will not transfer.
COLOR REBEL is suitable for all hair types and washes out in two shampoos, making it easy to constantly experiment and transform your look. It is available in a diverse range of 10 shades – five Natural Shades (brown and copper tones) and five Fashion Shades (ranging from yellow to pink).
REDKEN COLOR REBEL is available exclusively from selected REDKEN salons and retailers. To find your nearest stockist, please visit www.redken.com.au or phone 1300 650 170.
