Japanese cosmetic brand shu uemura is known for its colourful collaborations, featuring quirky characters such as Pokemon’s Pikachu, Super Mario, and even designer to the stars, the late Karl Lagerfield, and their newest collaboration with shoe and fashion brand Onitsuka Tiger doesn’t disappoint.
The packaging in shu uemura’s latest eight-piece collection features Onitsuka Tiger’s iconic stripes in contrasting red, white, yellow, and blue, which the brand hopes will inspire its users to take their bold makeup looks to new heights. Check out the entire collection below!

The eight-shade beyond the limit palette (SGD108) stars lively and bold colors like metallic grey, a bright, matte blue, and a fiery orange, for the beauty trendsetter that remains unfazed by unorthodox colours and is not afraid to stand out from the crowd.
set the motion eye palette
Not a fan of bold colours? The set the motion eye palette (SGD108) houses eight edgy warm orange, coral, and brown shades in a daring yellow case that will elevate your everyday makeup, but remain wearable and versatile for daily use.
hard formula eyebrow pencil (limited edition)
One of the most loved eyebrow pencils around, and used by celebrity makeup artists such as Pony, shu uemura’s hard formula eyebrow pencil (SGD33) has received a revamp thanks to this collaboration. The crowd-favourite eyebrow pencil is shaped like a Japanese sword for precision, and has a less pigmented formula for a natural, real look, so you won’t end up with nightmare-inducing block-y brows.

shu uemura’s popular rouge unlimited matte lipsticks (SGD42) have also received a makeover inspired by Onitsuka Tiger, and even have a specially made, youthful fragrance infused in the formula. Don’t worry about changes in formula – your favourite lipstick still promises the same high impact, matte pigment that glides over the lips comfortably, in three limited edition shades designed to suit Asian skin tones. tangy orange is a light peachy-orange perfect for everyday wear, while chilli ambition and red boost are punchy shades of orange and red respectively that will enliven even the dullest complexion.
