your Beauty Our duty

Shu Uemura, the most famous Japanese name in makeup, died on December 29th. Ever since the nameless Hollywood beautician transformed Shirley MacLaine into a geisha for the 1962 flick My Geisha, the demand for Uemura's services skyrocketed. He started his cosmetics line shortly before that, in 1960, opened his first boutique in Tokyo in the 80s, and by now has shops all over London, New York, and Paris.
