As promised! This is the second part of my Shu Uemura event coverage. If you haven’t seen the first one, please check the Ob for Shu Uemura Collection Part 1 post. Let me warn you that there’ll be lots of pictures.

So, as you guys know, last Saturday I went for the Shu Uemura event for the launching of the Ob collection. During this event, 4 illustrators were present, and each created an illustration for the 4 different princesses – cherry blossom, moon, ocean and forest. They have to create the drawing using ONLY makeup products provided to them by Shu Uemura. All the drawings below are created using eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, lipstick, and eyeshadows. They used their fingers and cotton pads to blend the colors. Pretty amazing, don’t you think?

Here you can see the illustrators presenting their works. The illustrators are: Lidia Puspita, Citra Kemala, Diani Apsari, and Diela Maharanie.

After the event, the illustrators were each given several bookmarks to live sketch anyone who attended the event! Well, since I want all 4 to sketch me, I waited in line one-by-one..bahahaha..I love the sketches! I think they are amazing artists and they are super extremely nice! I get the chance to talk to them, and see them sketched. They are pretty awesome, I tell ya!

As mentioned before, I received a goodie-bag from Shu Uemura. Inside, I received macaroons, lipstick, UV under base mousse, and Shu Uemura (my all-time favorite) cleansing oil. I love the lipstick! It’s bright, it’s fuschia and it’s matte! Wait for the tutorial, you guys. I’m so going to use the lipstick on the next post.

So, again and again, I’d like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Shu Uemura Indonesia (esp. Regina, Sesa and Dea) for inviting me to the lovely event. I truly enjoyed the event, and in all honesty it was really fun!

I had the opportunity to go to the Karl Lagerfeld x Shu Uemura Collaboration event a few days a go (all thanks to Shu Uemura Indonesia for inviting me!). The event was to introduce to the media the latest collection from Shu Uemura, which will launch in Indonesia on November 1st, 2012. This was one of the product launches that I’ve been waiting for ever since I heard about it beginning of the year. If you follow me on Twitter (which you should!), you’d probably already seen some of the sneak preview photos I uploaded there.

If you don’t know about it alraedy, Karl Lagerfeld, yes, that famous designer Karl Lagerfeld is having a collaboration with Shu Uemura by launching the MONSHU girl collection. Karl, himself, is a very dear friend of the deceased Shu Uemura, thus naming the collection MonShu, which means “my darling shu”.

The collection’s icon, named the MonShu girl has a very “Sadako” eerie feel, yet one cannot help but to feel a strange attraction towards this icon. A very 1920s makeup, smoky eyes with red lips, is the signature look of the MonShu girl.

The event started out by introducing the whole concept behind MonShu girl (see video below).

Then Regina introduced us to John Pagaduan, who’s a Shu Uemura accredited makeup artist from Philippine. John’s work can be seen in countless fashion magazines in Philippine and he was there to show us how to achieve the MonShu look.

Throughout the whole makeup demo, we were lucky to be able to see the soon-to-be-released products. I have my eyes on the super cute eyelash curler, the eyeshadow palette (the purple one), and the eyelashes!

After the makeup demo, we were able to have a quick chat with John, as well as having our pictures taken using polaroids with the MonShu models. I think Regina and the rest of her MonShu girls look super adorable in their MonShu Outfit and makeup! Tres Chic!

Yes, we also received a goodie bag which I’ll share with you guys on the next post, since this one is getting too long and too picture heavy. Anyways, don’t forget to check the Shu Uemura Indonesia counters in Jakarta on November 1st, 2012 for the MonShu launch! The sales rep and makeup artists from Shu will be wearing their MonShu outfits and makeup too, so be there and join the MonShu movement.
