i always love looking at their lashes. I’d never use them personally, since i’m a very neutral makeup kinda person, but they’re just so creative and gorgeous!

I’ve never worn false lashes and probably never will but I still think these look really cool and would love to see them all modeled.

Is it just me or could this collection use a little more cultural awareness and sensitivity? I mean, Ethnic? Tribal? Oriental?!? Don’t get me wrong, I love the whimsy of Shu lashbar offerings — and that middle picture of the lash with the jewel is gorgeous! — but I just bristle at the language (which seems to reflect naivety at best, ignorance at worst).

BeccaTheCyborg Avatar

I think they’re pretty, but yeah, I’m way too uncomfortable with the appropriation and old-school racist language to ever wear them.

Emily Avatar

Well it is a japanese brand, so I don’t think it’s a sign of ignorance. Maybe pushing boundaries? Oriental is not an inappropriate word when it is used to describe an object. Its just rude when it applies to humans.

Neshie Avatar

The only potentially offensive word that was used here is oriental, and as Emily stated, oriental is acceptable when being used to describe an item (such as a rug), however it is not okay to use it when referring to an Asian person. Ethnic is not offensive and neither is tribal. Ethnic is used all the time to describe all sorts of things from hair care products to prints and patterns. Tribal is used in the same way (Tribal prints anyone?). I think perhaps you guys are a bit hypersensitive.

Wow! I need doubles of every one of these. I could create photoshoots with models built entirely around these lashes. My photographer friends are gonna go nuts! I know what I’m splurging on for my birthday. What a great addition to my kit!

I’d get in a car wreck as I’d always be trying to pull “something” off my lashes..so distracting!! I have to admit,though,that they’re beautiful.

This is completely ridiculous, Canadians have to pay $10 – $20 more despite the fact that the CAD is worth MORE than the USD!?!?

Andreea Avatar

The ad is great, and I have seen in Japan gals wearing such stuff, looked incredible beautiful on them. Nothing for me though. SHU has very good products, though, a shame we do not get them in Germany!
