February/March 2008-In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the mode makeup collections, shu uemura introduce their 126th collection named REBIRTH, with fresh and invigorating color palettes inspired by the excitement that surrounds spring. This spring, the collection will feature a special motif inspired by an abstract drawing by Mr. Uemura of flowers and greens in nature, signifying the budding growth of life during the spring season.

As a tribute to this collection and Mr. Uemura’s work, the Shu Uemura principle makeup artists Jason Hoffman and Misumi Kitano created three very special looks: Natural Beauty, Playful Beauty, and Spring Beauty. These new shu uemura Spring 2008 looks were created by shu uemura’s 2008 limited edition REBIRTH Mode Makeup Collection. You can find instructions on how to achieve these new spring 2008 shu uemura looks here!
