Karl has been a long time fan of Shu Uemura products, but not for their intended purpose. The multitasking designer said he uses Shu Uemura make-up to hand colour his illustrations – most recently of The Queen. When asked why Unkle Karl said “Because other manufacturers do not offer such beautiful colours.”.
