Shu Uemura Shu Uemura makeup sponge brand introduction

With a rigorous and lean attitude, Shu Uemura has been a trendsetter in the beauty industry with a series of classic pieces such as cleansing oil and machete eyebrow pencil. Even if it's a small makeup sponge, Shu Uemura doesn't ignore it, from makeup sponges for base makeup, cushion sponge puffs to makeup puffs for setting makeup.
 
Shu Uemura has two most recommended makeup sponges, namely Lightbulb and Pentagon Sponge. Lightbulb Diamond Brightening Sponge, Lancôme's MULTI-FUNCTION PRECISION MAKE-UP SPONGE, and Dior's backstage professional cover sponge are both NBR materials with a hard texture, but Shu Uemura's skin-friendly performance is the best. Shaped like a gourd, the round tip is known as the "Gloss Enhancer" and is used to enhance the shine of the base, and the flick on the face not only evenly fits the base makeup, but also provides high coverage, and the tip is covered with an oil-absorbing substance to absorb excess shine from the face.
 
However, the use of this gourd-shaped sponge egg is different from that of Beauty Blender and Real Techniques, which require wet water, and can be used directly dry, and can be applied on the face with foundation, and the price is about 73 yuan, which is not currently available on the official website in China.
 
For the convenience of travelers, Shu Uemura also launched 4 pieces of pentagonal sponge, the material used is natural rubber (NR), which is the lowest price of all makeup sponges, most of which are used as disposable makeup sponges, but Shu Uemura pentagonal sponges can generally be washed 4-5 times, the angular design fits every detail of the face, the touch is skin-friendly and comfortable, both wet and dry, and the quality is far better than other fast-moving makeup sponge brands, such as Chacott or Daiso, a pack is priced at 45 yuan, and the price is affordable. It can be easily purchased in both domestic and offline stores.
