Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Lipstick

I was invited to Shu Uemura’s Kiss and Play Date for the Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Lip Color last May 16, 2012. It usually takes me a while to post about make-up because I want to be as in-depth as I can. I’ve been a Shu Uemura user for the last several years so this line isn’t really new to me… BUT I was very happy to know that these luxurious lipsticks have been revamped.

Yes, Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited lipsticks now go on smoother and are more moisturizing compared to before. There are also a lot more colors to choose from. Shu’s new double hybrid pigment technology now enables the delivery of the purest color ever! This just means that you can now paint your lips virtually any color you desire.

I went up to the display stand where all the lipsticks were being showcased. There were so many gorgeous colors it was so hard to choose which ones to try.

I picked a light blue and a white lipstick. I was told that these are primarily for mixing as they can lighten and change the tone of your existing color for greater customization.

The topmost swatch is from the blue lipstick, the middle swatch is from the white lipstick, and the bottom swatch is from a lilac shade I fished out of the line-up, specifically Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine PK 052 (Lilac). The more shimmery shades fall under the Supreme Shine classification.

Yes, I was really loving the Lilac. Shen said I was ready to marry it, haha!

All of us who attended the Kiss and Play Date got to take home one Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited lipstick of our choice. (From left to right Earth, Nikki, Nina, Martha, myself, Shen)

You can guess what I chose. Haha, yup, I got the Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine PK 052 (Lilac) which I kept swatching throughout the event. XD

I love the sleek and silver bullet-shaped container.

Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine PK 052 (Lilac) is a light and shimmery light pinkish purple shade. It looks cool as ice and I love it so much.

It gives my lips a pale pinkish glow which I love.

Some weeks later, I bought a second shade — Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited RD 160 (Medium True Classic Red). The only other time I bought a red lipstick was for my make-up course at HD Studio because it was required, haha!

Had a bit of a test swipe of the red lipstick yesterday, please pardon the haphazard application. I’m not really sure if I can carry it but we’ll see in the coming days if I have the guts to actually wear red lipstick outside the house, haha! See the difference between the Supreme Shine and the regular Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited? This one is pure solid color and no gloss for more dramatic looks.

Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited lipsticks are available for P1,195 each at all Shu Uemura boutiques (Power Plant Mall, Trinoma, Alabang Town Center) and counters (Rustan’s Shangri-la Plaza and Makati). It’s even slightly lower than the US retail price which is US$30 a pop.
