Shu Uemura's Spring/Summer 2014 makeup collection has arrived. Available in limited edition from January 1st (Wednesday). The "bijoux" collection, inspired by the colors and radiance of gemstones, features a lineup of innovative textures and gentle shades. Among them, the eye color and cheek products are particularly noteworthy. The "Silk Cushion Eye Shadow," with its new marshmallow-soft, silk-smooth texture, is a marvel that combines the ease of powder eyeshadow with the long-lasting power of cream eyeshadow. The finish is also a new sensation, with the kneaded silver and white "Pearly Carat" particles bringing out a truly jewel-like, translucent radiance. The "Silk Cushion Cheek" shares the same soft and smooth texture. Its color blends beautifully with the skin, creating a subtle, on-trend blush that glows from within.

Silk Cushion Eye Shadow, 4 limited edition shades, ¥2,730; Silk Cushion Cheek, 2 limited edition shades, ¥2,940. Also available are pressed powders, lipsticks, and nail colors (all limited edition). (Shu Uemura Tel. 03-6911-8560 www.shuuemua.jp)
