Shu Uemura’s new eyeliners look awesome! The colors are striking, and a creamy liner like this is less likely to run in the hot weather. I might not be able to resist adding the purple to my makeup bag…

They look very seducing, I especially love the gold. I wonder if how comparable to mac fluideline they are and if they will be available in France.

They are way more pigmented than Fluidline Nathalie! Especially the frost ones. You can also control the pigmentation by how much you apply too.

I feel they’re lighter, more gel than cream.

I had the purple on my waterline and I went clubbing one night. There wasn’t any obvious smudging from what I can tell and the colour remained vibrant as I applied it at the beginning of the night. Though I find the purple needs to be layered rather than applying a thick amount.

Compared to the night blue, one layer of the liner is more pigmented. Obviously it’s because it’s matte and the purple is a metallic. I love the night blue because of the pigmentation and the long wear attributes.

I did a review here: http://meandmycolours.blogspot.com/2009/04/review-shu-uemura-painting-liner.html

In that review, I mentioned that these liners takes a while to dry if you apply thick amounts. So it’s much better to layer the liner and apply in sections to ensure even application.

I bought the silver one and it is amazing! I normally wear pearl liners at the inner corner, which would disappear in the afternoon (I wear contact, I rub!!), whereas Shu silver stayed put all day, all night! It is really pigmented too!
