Any legit beauty junkie out there would know that quality make-up tools are essential for flawless-looking foundation.

As Shu Uemura is a make-up artists’ brand through-and-through, and known for its iconic tools, it is launching a new limited edition sakura pink petal 55 brush (S$80). With an ergonomic, faceted handle, this dense and oval-shaped kabuki brush is of the same width as the popular 27 brush to cover areas such as the chin and cheeks. While the tapered edge is of similar in size to the 10 brush for precise application around the eyes and nose.

Packed with thousands of supple fibres – 189,000 to be exact – it offers easy and flawless coverage. So much so that Shu Uemura bets that you can apply liquid foundation with your eyes closed, when you use the Petal 55 brush (check out its #eyesclosedchallenge on Insta).

Best used with the Petal Skin Fluid Foundation (S$68, available in 11 shades).

Because beautiful-looking skin and foundation is the first step to flawless-looking make-up, Shu Uemura is also launching its new Petal Skin Cushion Foundation (S$78, available in eight shades).

Unlike most cushion foundations that are best suited for touch-ups on-the-go, Shu Uemura’s offers medium-to-full coverage with its special puff. Slightly thicker than the average cushion puff, it picks up more of the lightweight and satin-matte formula for even and complete coverage.

This cushion foundation formula contains soft-focus pigment, deep sea water for hydration, as well as skincare ingredients (sakura petal, white lily, jasmine, and sake extracts).
