Eye palettes in Raspberry Lollipop and Lemon Fizz

Add playful pops of colour to your eyes with the limited edition eye palettes ($95 each). Packaged as a silver tin case (inspired by candy tins), the two palettes each feature six all-new colours with a delicious milky candy scent – yum!

Raspberry Lollipop is a juicy berry eyeshadow palette with gorgeous pink and purple hues paired with neutral peach and brown shades. Colourful yet versatile, all six shades in this palette definitely allow you to create an array of eye makeup looks for every occasion. 

Prefer something fresher? Then Lemon Fizz will be right up your alley. This vibrant citrus-y eyeshadow palette contains green, lemon-yellow, orange, and brown shades. Whether it’s just one shade and mixed altogether, the possibilities for candy-inspired makeup looks are endless.

rouge unlimited kinu satin and kinu cream

shu uemura’s range of kinu lip products gets its name from the Japanese word for ‘silk’. Just like the delicate fabric, the kinu satin ($53 each) and kinu cream ($50 each) glide effortlessly onto your lips for a luxurious and long-lasting feel.

For the shu uemura x Peko collection, the kinu satin fuses sweet-as-sugar colours with a milky candy scent into one bullet lipstick. Of course, you can expect delicious candy-inspired shades: Peachy Taffy (a peach pink) and Watermelon Gum (a fresh pink red).

Reminiscent of whipped cream, the kinu cream liquid lipsticks offer a soft, cocooning sensation with vibrant pigmentation. Applying them to your lips will be a full sensorial experience. Choose from three shades: Orange Gumballs (a muted candied orange) and Cinnamon Whip (a warm brown) – both scented with a milky candy fragrance – and Nectarine Drops (a juicy red orange).

face colors in M Milky Caramel and P Strawberry Parfait

After adorning your eyes and lips, complete your Y2K-inspired look with the face colors ($62 each). Finely-milled yet pigmented, these powder blushes blend beautifully into your cheeks for a soft wash of colour. Want a subtle glow? Opt for the M Milky Caramel, a brown shade in a matte texture with silver pearls. For a punchy pop of pink, choose P Strawberry Parfait: this irresistible strawberry hue has gold pearls for that sugar rush glow.

hard formula in Seal Brown and petal 55 foundation brush

Just for this limited edition collection, two of shu uemura’s best-selling products have been dressed up in a modern and futuristic Peko design.

The iconic hard formula brow pencil ($40) is instantly recognizable for its traditional “naginata” shape with a hand-sharpened tip. Thanks to its hardness, you can draw hair-like strokes effortlessly and create the perfect pair of natural-looking eyebrows.

The petal 55 ($89) needs no introduction. This beloved foundation brush contains a whopping 198,000 delicate bristles to help you apply foundation flawlessly and naturally with just one sweep.
