After all these years – five decades to be exact – Shu Uemura is still through and through, a Japanese beauty brand.

Even though it is now owned by a French beauty conglomerate.

Shu Uemura places plenty of emphasis on the basics, the skin, the blank canvas.

Its philosophy: Colours are secondary, and they can only add to one’s beauty if the skin looks flawless.

The new Petal Skin Fluid Foundation is not pretentious.

It does not contain too much light-reflecting particles to make you glow like a beacon. It just makes your skin look naturally beautiful.

With a satin-matte finish, it provides medium to high coverage (redness, pores, uneven skin, acne), a soft radiance, and is relatively long-lasting.

Pair it with the Stage Performer Block:Booster for a fresher-looking skin tone, added su protection, and even longer wear.
