Beauty the Zen way

Shu Uemura’s unique attitude to beauty has been unrivalled since the 1950s, and now the Japanese company has created a new boutique in the heart of London’s Covent Garden. The Shu Uemura boutique is described as ‘a haven of Zen for beauty fans’, and is bound to be a must-go for the more discerning of cosmetic and skincare lovers, offering the company’s distinctive hybrid of beauty and treatment. The Tokyo Lash Bar offers a varied array of services including the company’s world-renowned false eyelashes, while the Learning Atelier offers the chance to pick up professional techniques. The Iyashi Healing Space is a welcome haven with iPod docking stations for your own spa soundtrack. Getting beautiful has never been so much fun.
