I love their eyeshadows – the long famed & now discontinued ME Silver 945 is my HG of eyeshadows! (The replacement ME Brown 850 is good too). I also love their brushes, they are $$$ but the quality & craftsmanship is soooo good.

Shu Uemura is very expensive in Canada (where I live), for instance eyeshadow is $26.00, whereas in the US it’s only $20.00! Since our currency is almost on par, I order from the US site & have my friend in Jersey ship it onto me. He is +++ nice for doing this!
