Beauty News: Shu Uemura US Website News

By now you know that Shu Uemura is closing down operations within the US however I’ve recieved some clarifying news from Shu in my inbox today, all good news by the way.

Please jump ahead to hear the beauty news on our beloved Shu!

First off I’m trying to get information about two things at the moment which I’m personally curious about and which I know you are interested to know as well.

  1. Whether Shu Uemura will remain at Sephora. UPDATE: Sephora will phase the line out.
  2. Whether this effects Canadian residents as well.

As soon as I hear further information, I’ll update.

On to the news…

First off as I stated in my original post, you can still purchase Shu Uemura makeup, skincare, and products from their website at www.shuuemura.com. Now this is great news because they will actually continue to introduce new products on the site as well as keep your old favs!

The only real change with the brand at this point (verified information) is that makeup junkies won’t be able to get their fix at department stores or at one of the boutiques as these locations will begin to slowly phase out in the months ahead but online operations continue as always!

One thing that is not effected at all by these changes is Shu Uemura Art of Hair which will continue to remain in salons across the country as well as online.

Hope this helps you sleep at night and you aren’t left awake, worrying over your beloved Shu!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    If Shu ever leave UK..I still have singapore… I will ask my sis to buy and post them lol… I love their eyeshadows, blushes and oil cleanser the most
    not a fan of lash curler since it is not flat enough for me

    ’tis a shame because I always heard such great things about shu but my Sephora never had anything from them besides the eyelash curler and cleansing oil. I really wanted to get into shu. :\ And argh I despise online shopping!

    Yay! I’ll gladly suffer the crappy swatches and color descriptions on the Shu website.

  • Aretha

    ahhh i feel so relieved that Shu is still going very strong here in Malaysia. *sleeps well* =)

  • Hana

    That’s so sad about them pulling out of Sephora. 🙁 But maybe if I’m lucky I’ll have some extra cash when it starts going on sale.

  • Fuuka

    Sad, but not surprised. I just wish Sephora would bring back Anna Sui….

  • Ashley Michèlle

    Shu Uemura is back on Sephora! Just ordered some fabulous toner, and can’t wait to test it out!

    A link for those that may be interested: http://www.sephora.com/browse/brand_hierarchy.jhtml?brandId=shu%20uemura

    There are currently only three products available for purchase on Sephora, all being from the Purenovate line.

    Hopefully Sephora will gradually bring some of my old loves back… like the cleansing oils, and deep sea water!
