In my previous shu uemura Fall 2014 Vision of Beauty Collection reviews I have mentioned what an outstanding collection it is. I think it is probably my favourite collection released this fall. Every product I tested as part of the collection had excellent quality and performance. There is something many things in this collection that everyone will love. I have covered the Brave Beauty Eye Shadow Palettes and the Brave Beauty Rouge Unlimited Lipsticks and now it is time to share with you the rest of the products in the collection.
The shu uemura Satin Radiant Stick ($39 US/$55 CAD) is a cream highlight and cheek product in a twist up stick. It gives a satin radiant finish that is glowy without being too shimmery or sparkly. There are two highlight shades, Light Pink and Bronze Gold, as well as two blush shades, Pink and Orange Coral. I have Light Pink and Pink to share with you today.
I don’t often fall in love with cream products. I find them just a little too tricky to work with as often they don’t jive well with certain foundation or setting products. These Satin Radiant Sticks are fabulous though and I couldn’t help but fall in love. They apply beautifully on both clean skin as well as on top of foundation or bb cream. I have even applied them on top of skin that I have set with powder for great results. The feel light and have no stickiness or tackiness at all. The colours or beautiful and natural and the radiant glow they give to the skin is appropriate for any age. Healthy and luminous without being glittery.
The shu uemura Gel Pencil Liner ($24 US/$36 CAD) is a ultra slim twist up gel liner (similar to the Hourglass Mechanical Gel liners). They differ from the Hourglass version in that they are very firm. The formula is a touch dry and you have to build up with a few swipes to get solid colour but this actually makes it easier to work deep into the lashline without smooshing product everywhere and using excess product.
The shades Violet Purple and Green are both deep enough to add ample definition to the eye while still offering vibrancy of colour. I have been using these a lot since receiving them. The subtle sheen to the colours is lovely and the waterproof formula wears all day without fading or smudging.
Now lets get to the really fun stuff! The collection includes some really cool accessories to really amp up you #BraveBeauty look. The Face Studs ($25 US/$35 CAD) are and assortment of gold and silver facial jewelry in pyramid and cone shapes. So cool!
The Brave Beauty False Lashes ($25 US/$35 CAD) are a set of really lush lashes with a metal chain band and soft baby feather accents. So wearable yet edgy at the same time.
