Shu Uemura has released their newest thing for your lips, Rouge Unlimited Crystal Shine makes it’s debut with 17 lip colors with professional grade hyper pigment.  The formula has water-capturing molecules that will hydrate your lips while shining them up with light-reflective pearls.  

Here are some tips from shu uemura’s Principal Makeup Artist, Jason Hoffman… 

-For a light glossy stain, apply directly from the tube.
-If you want a slightly heavier shine, use a brush to apply. The brush will pick up more product and blend it evenly on the lips.
-For more color depth and long lasting wear, pair the crystal shine with a pencil.  Try to use a pencil that is similar in color and remember to fill in the lips, avoiding the outline left alone when the shine wears off.
-As with all of our lipsticks, crystal shine is great for eyes and cheeks.  Use a synthetic foundation brush and apply on the apples. (the colors look very fresh and the shimmer offers a beautiful sheen)
-For the eyes, use a synthetic concealer brush. Beiges and browns will be the easiest to wear on the eyes as reds and oranges can often make you look tired.
-Every woman should own the shade WH (white) 002S.  It is so versatile! It can be used alone for a light glossy finish or layered over ANY lip color.  It will lighten the color and give it a hint of pink shimmer.
-The shade BG (beige) 901S is also a must have for anyone who likes wear a smoky eye.  It is the perfect beige that compliments browns, purples, greens, blues and black.

All of those tips are very do-able, a big thanks to Mr. H and Shu Uemura for passing this on.  Click on over to the Rouge Unlimited Crystal Shine site to purchase a lippy.  If you’d like to test in person visit the Uemura boutiques in fab cities like: San Francisco, Boston and Costa Mesa or select Neiman Marcus stores, Saks, Barney’s NY, Chicago and 90210.
