Shu Uemura Closes its Doors

When I heard the news, I nearly shed a tear. On Monday, L'Oreal announced it would no longer sell the Shu Uemura brand in the US.
I heart Shu Uemura products and simply adore the iconic lash curler so when I heard that L'Oreal would be closing its doors in the US, I panicked thinking I wouldn't be able to find Shu Uemura products in Nordstrom or Neiman's anymore.

Silly me...While the company will discontinue sales in the US, you can still purchase dramatic lashes, lash curlers, cleansing oils and other cosmetics online. WWD reports that 80% of the company's sales are made in Asia, this announcement comes as no surprise.

Shu Uemura marked his name as one of the great artists in the makeup industry back in the 1950's--trust, he's not done yet.

Shu Uemura Beauty Cleansing Oils

Shu Uemura cleansing oil was developed to protect the skin’s balance while removing make-up and impurities in a single step.

Believe it or not, this stuff has been around since 1967. Shu Uemura developed this cleansing oil while working as a makeup artist in Hollywood. He used it to remove actresses' heavy stage makeup and moisturize their skin at the same time.
Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil comes in six different varieties for each skin type, blending jojoba and avocado oils to cleanse skin without disrupting the natural balance while protecting against environmental nuisances. When mixed with water, this cleanser removes all traces of makeup, dirt, oil and sweat in one fell swoop (or several). Afterward, skin feels clean yet hydrated.

The limited edition series is adorned with playful artwork from renowned manga artist and beauty expert Moyoco Anno.
