Shu Uemura Drawing Crayons

This review of Shu Uemura Drawing Crayons volition live brusk too sweet.


Very brusk too real sweet, because dissimilar the freakshow that was Shu Uemura Blanc:Chroma cushion foundation, these crayons are awesome.
Which alone proves what we've all known for ages - Shu Uemura does oculus makeup well. Does oculus makeup remarkably well.

And no, this is non a sponsored review - I bought these.


I am a huge Shu Uemura fangirl, I can't deny it. Even though Shu skincare leaves me feeling meh, their indicate makeup to a greater extent than than compensates for that.

I bring already written virtually my collection of Shu Uemura Drawing Pencils.
Today nosotros volition beak virtually Shu Uemura Drawing Crayons.


What is it?
Basically, your measure big, fatty crayon that industrial plant every bit an oculus shadow, or - according to Shu - every bit an eyeliner.
I role them every bit oculus shadows.

They are waterproof, long wearing, non-smudging colors that stay-on-forever inward a truthful Shu Uemura fashion.


The colors are beautiful soft pastels - perfect for spring.
The swatches I bring seen on the mesh hold off awfully photoshopped alongside saturation too vibrance cranked upwardly to the max.
In reality, they are much softer too subtle - fifty-fifty the brilliant hues similar bluish or green.

The whole collection consists of 12 colors.
They are marked every bit K for matte, P for pearly, too due south for shimmer (in approximately countries, similar Malaysia, shimmer shades are non marked every bit S, too thence live careful).

I bring these vi colors:
  • Pearly Brown
  • Pearly Yellow Gold (doesn't appear to live available anymore inward Japan)
  • Pearly Purple
  • Pearly Soft Orange
  • Pearly Pink (number 1 pop color, according to Shu Uemura Japan)
  • Matte Soft Brown.


And this is how they swatch.
No photoshop too no filters applied!

Swatches of Shu Uemura Drawing Crayons:


As you lot tin see, all of them are real wearable, everyday colors.
I am clueless when it comes to traditional oculus shadows, I don't know how to role them, how to apply them too how to blend them.

Eye shadow crayons are my salvation. Just depict a line, smear it a chip alongside your finger too you're proficient to go. That's how I roll. Fiddling too trivial alongside brushes requires a degree of makeup skills that I only don't have. And at my age, I am likewise quondam to master. So it's sticks too crayons for me all the way.

Same every bit Shu Uemura Drawing Pencils, these crayons are made inward Germany.


They are real quondam school. You volition postulate to sharpen them. You volition postulate a big, fatty Shu Uemura sharpener here.
Let me repeat it, these are NOT the twist type. These are the quondam schoolhouse sharpening type.

To most Shu fans that is pretty obvious, but to newcomers to the build it mightiness live a chip of a shock. One reviewer on the American Shu site complained that "they are proficient for alone a few times too at that spot is no agency to teach to a greater extent than crayon."
Yes darling, at that spot is a agency to teach to a greater extent than crayon, it's called sharpening.

To me it's non a bargain breaker, but I know to many people mightiness be.

Not certain who'd live interested inward the ingredients, but hither they are, only inward case.

Shu Uemura Drawing Crayon ingredients:


How much?
2800 yen summation tax.

H5N1 chip on the steep side, but we're non talking virtually L'Oreal Infallible® Eye Shadow Crayons here.
Incidentally, Shu Uemura is a L'Oreal brand, too it's been said that the Infallibles build for proficient Shu dupes. Personally I don't know, too thence can't confirm.


From what I've seen on them innernets, L'Oreal Infallibles are much to a greater extent than shimmery alongside quite large glitter particles.
These Shu crayons are to a greater extent than inward trouble alongside Clinique Chubby Sticks Shadow Tint for Eyes. But Clinique sticks are non every bit long lasting every bit Shu Uemura Drawing Crayons. However, on the summation side, they don't postulate to live sharpened.
(And I bring a crapton of those, too thence I definitely tin confirm.)

So there.
You bring all the pros too cons.

My verdict?

I honey them.
If I had to a greater extent than disposable income, I'd purchase all 12 colors.
