Shu Uemura - Japanese make-up artist and cosmetics company founder

Anyone who is involved in or interested in makeup will undoubtedly have encountered the Shu Uemura School of Artistic Makeup and the cosmetics line of the same name. Even as a teenager, Shu Uemura's interest in artistic makeup led him to study at the Tokyo Beauty Academy, where he was the only male among 130 students.

In the late 1950s, he went to Hollywood because he dreamed of a career as a film makeup artist. He made his debut in this field in 1962, replacing an ailing makeup artist for the film "My Geisha", and from then on his career took off. While engaged in artistic makeup, he adhered to the philosophy that "beautiful makeup begins with a beautiful face" and developed his own skin care products. In 1960, he released his first cosmetic, Shu Uemura Oil , still popular today . In 1964, he returned to Japan, opened a makeup school and in 1967 founded the cosmetics company Japan Makeup, which changed its name to Shu Uemura in 1983.
