Shu Uemura ME Blue 640
Unlike the metallic shadows of old, it isn’t exceptionally pigmented – the swatch took several swipes to show up as above. Nevertheless, this shadow isn’t muted in tone; instead, it has a pretty reflective effect that brightens it.
If you shy away from loud colours but would like to wear such a shade of blue, this is something to try. However, if you would like the colour to pop, use it over a cream shadow such as Shiseido Hydro Powder Eye Shadow in
Proenza Schouler Blue.ME Blue 640 reminds me of the blue hue in Lunasol Blue Green Coral and seems to be more of a dupe than
Majolica Majorca BL724.

that is a gorgeous colour for brown eyes…I love the glow of that blue eyeshadow, and I am sure it will look gorgeous on you.
Shu makes excellent eyeshadows!
i can honestly say this is one of my favourite shu eye shadow in the new formula.
It is, BBB~!
Easy to wear too, for people who don’t like crazy pigmented colours.
Hi Jojoba,
Thank you for your very useful Shu write-up. I wrote something similar in the past but it was nowhere as comprehensive as yours.
I loved ME638 – I still have it and I have to agree that the new shadows do not come anywhere near the metallic shine of the old ME series. Thank goodness I discovered I can’t wear Shu eyeshadows… or I’d be broke
Hi PB,
The old MEs are really dense. One of my faves is ME Purple 780!
[...] I was impressed by the the harmonious combination of colours and especially like the teal (you know how fond I am of teals!). [...]
