The newest collection for fall is now available on the United States website for Shu Uemura, this collection is named Precious Chocolate Exquisite Raspberry. This collection holds some promise for me, it contains a full range of browns for every facial feature. I am hoping for some great new eye makeup to order from this website, I own a large range of browns and would love to add a few more to my collection. I currently am in search of a good deep brown with a matte finish, I already own Werewolf from the Tarte and True Blood Eye Palette and I have application issues with it. I want a matte brown that applies well and has full pigmentation, it would be nice if my search was over after looking at the products in this collection!
"Chocolate paired with raspberry and mocha creates such a delightfully rich palette. For the fall season, create sensual smoky brown eyes using metallic warm shades and rich matte brown shadows." Rich matte brown shadows?! These four words are music to my ears!!
Here is the fall collection from Shu Uemura!

My initial thought when I was looking at this collection is that there are way too much brushes that will be needed to create the look on the model. Shu Uemura brushes are top rated in the industry and I am aware that most makeup artists swear by all the brushes from this company however very few people (with the exception of makeup artists) own the full complement of Shu brushes in order to create this look as suggested. If I really need all the brushes listed with this collection to create the look, I would be more likely to find another version of this look rather than purchase every single type of brush. I am willing to bet that not every single one of the listed brushes are needed and I could get away with creating a very similar look with my normal rotation of eye makeup brushes.
But I digress...I love the eye shadow palette that seems to be the star product of this collection. This is the only product that I would be likely to order from Japan. I will have to find a few reviews and pictures of this palette before I order it but it looks very promising and has a deep, creamy brown shade that I have been looking for. I am also interested in the cream eye liner and I might order it in more shades than just the black that is suggested with this collection, there is really nothing else that is catching my eye in this collection.
This is one of my least favorite collections of the season, I love the eye shadow palette but nothing else catches my attention and I would never be able to buy and use (on a daily basis!) all the brushes that seem to be needed to create the look on the model. I want to order the eye shadow palette but that's about it...
