RIP Shu Uemura

I had no idea when I posted this that Shu Ueumura just died. (Thank you, reader Esme, for the tip.)

Uemura, who gained acclaim working with actress Shirley MacLaine on the 1962 Hollywood film "My Geisha," died of pneumonia in Tokyo on Dec. 29, according to a statement released Tuesday by his company, also called Shu Uemura. Its products were mentioned in the more recent film The Devil Wears Prada.

He is survived by his wife and a son.
