Shu Uemura Eye Shadow Pressed Powder Refill 1.4g in IR 685 Medium Blue is a vivid blue eyeshadow refill from the brand's modular eyeshadow system. The "IR" in the shade code denotes an iridescent finish — a high-impact, multi-dimensional shimmer that adds dimension and pop to eye looks.

How to use
