Shu Uemura Color Atelier

The Shu Uemura website has been updated with the Color Atelier collection of of 55 Pressed Eyeshadows and 30 Glow-on highlighters/blushes.

The eyeshadows are a mix of old and new shades in five textures: M for matte, P for Pearl, IR for iridescent, G for glitter and ME for metallic. The new shades are marked with a red box at the top left corner.

The Glow-on shades are divided in 3 categories: highlight (light), blusher (soft), and shadow & accent (medium/vivid). Both the Pressed Eyeshadows and Glow-ons are now sold as refills, with the cases sold separately.

While the prices of the individual eyeshadows and blushes have dropped, the net weight has also been reduced. Putting together a palette of 2 eyeshadows and a blush will now cost 7245yen while a palette of 4 eyeshadows will cost 8160yen. That's a tad more expensive than the palettes from the Spring 2011 Morphorium collection which had retailed at 7140yen each and contained a blush, 2 full size eyeshadow pans, and two half size eyeshadow and eyeliner pans.
