Shu Uemura fans would be familiar with its extensive lipstick offerings under the Rouge Unlimited range. This month, the brand is introducing another new texture, further widening the options to its customers and makeup junkies all over the world.
Aptly named “Lacquer Shine”, this new finish is super glossy and shiny while retaining a vibrant and saturated effect. The brand also calls this particular shade, RD 163 “the perfect red” because based on their research on over 3,000 Asian women, this is the shade that flatters Asian skin tones. And if you’re worried about glossy lipsticks getting stuck on your lips, fret not.
According to Anton Chuang, Shu Uemura Taiwan Atelier Artist, the reason why many women have this problem is because we “apply lipstick starting from the centre of our lips”. As a result, we tend to start too far into the mouth that causes lipstick to get stuck on your lips when you smile. Instead, Anton recommends applying lipstick from the outside in. “Start by using your lipstick to outline your lips before rubbing them together to blend,” advises Anton.
