This year, Shu Uemura has paired up with acclaimed fashion designer Tsumori Chisato to create a collection that “embodies the inimitable spirit of Tokyo.” This holiday line, “Wish Upon a Star,” succeeds in imbibing soft femininity with fantasy and a bit of edge. See the collection’s seven pieces—all packaged with designs straight from Tsumori’s 2009 runway collection—for yourself!

“It” supermodel Agyness Deyn was all about the eyes last night—she attended the ACE awards with Shu Uemura’s Black Velvet Feather False Eyelashes ($25) adhered to her lower lids. Nope, the model/singer didn’t get mixed up while applying makeup—the girl is trying a new look. What do you think? Are faux lower lid lashes cutting edge or just too creepy?

Shu Uemura Artistic Director Gina Brooke recently worked with Madonna on creating a custom diamond eye shadow for the pop icon’s "Sticky & Sweet Summer Tour." The result? Only the most perfect shimmery white eye shadow this material girl has ever tried! Shu Uemura’s ME White 906 Pressed Eye Shadow ($20) gives my eyes a gorgeous light-reflecting diamond effect. And while Madge uses real diamonds around her eyes for the stage, I’ll happily perk up my peepers with this gem!
