Shu Uemura Eye Shadow Pressed Powder Refill 1.4g in 861 A Dark Brown is a deep, rich brown eyeshadow refill from the brand's modular eyeshadow system. The "A" in the shade code denotes a satin-pearl finish — a polished, lit-from-within sheen that adds depth and dimension to eye looks.
About Shu Uemura

Owned today by L'Oréal, the brand is known for its artistic approach, professional-grade formulations and modular palette system — perfectly suited to building a custom eyeshadow wardrobe shade by shade.
Satin-pearl finish ("A") — polished sheen with subtle dimension.
Modular refill format slots into Shu Uemura's palette compacts, reducing waste over time.

Who it's for
Anyone building a custom eyeshadow palette around Shu Uemura's modular system, or looking for a deep, polished brown shade for natural-to-smoky eye looks. Particularly useful as the deepening shade in soft-glam and editorial-style make-up.
How to use
Pick up colour with a fluffy crease brush or a flat shadow brush.
Tap off the excess against the back of the hand.
Sweep through the crease and outer corner, blending in windscreen-wiper motions.
Use a smaller, flatter brush to deepen the lash line.
Slot the refill into a Shu Uemura compact when not in use.
