There are three Shu Uemura products I can’t live without; I make sure I always have them on my dresser.

The first is the Nobara foundation stick. It provides high coverage like a concealer but glides on easily like a foundation. I actually use it to cover discoloration on my skin including the dark circles under my eyes.

The second is the eyelash curler which I’ve been using since it was first launched. I change the rubber pad every six months; it is gentle and effective on my lashes.

I use the cleansing oil every time I have an event and have thick makeup on. I find it to be the most gentle way to remove it.

Last week, Shu Uemura’s new Tokyo-inspired flagship store opened at Power Plant Mall. I loved its look—fresh and contemporary, with neon lights, quirky chairs and lively screens that take customers on a unique journey.

Its open-store concept allows customers to explore the entire area with ease and comfort. It is a fun way to try on classic, creative and trendy looks that the Shu Uemura team will be happy to assist you with.

Shu Uemura’s new makeup and skin care store is at 2/F, Power Plant Mall, Rockwell, Makati City.
