Shu Uemura, one of Japan's most famous cosmetics brands, announced on March 30 that they are shutting down their US operations and leaving the U.S. market. To the dismay of many Shu enthusiasts, that they are withdrawing the company in order to focus on larger brands in their portfolio. Perhaps one of the only cosmetics companies to provide products suited for Asian faces, Shu Uemura is best known for their array of false eyelashes and cleansing oils. So, if you count yourself among the throngs of Americans who believe in their products, hurry over to your nearest Shu Uemura boutique or department store to stock up on your favorite items. Don't have the time? Not to worry, products are still available for American consumers online.
