Shu Uemura Lipstick Case
New York City, NY, United States
Brilliant colors reveal themselves in the world's first totally clear lipstick case.
Product design for Japan's makeup master, Shu Uemura.
Tsao & McKown presented four concepts for lipstick covers to the Shu Uemura creative team. Each was meant to explore and reinterpret what a lipstick cover could be, beyond the constraints of typical appearance and formal function, by means of innovative form and material.
Bubbles: Formed in cast glass or acrylic with bubbles captured in it. Allows for transparency and the use of a smooth dynamic material with texture, shape and light.
Crystals: Rendered in a textured skin of embedded crystals, evoking a very distinctive materiality that lends itself to the sensation of touch while drawing attention to its sparkling composition.
Rubberized Fiber: Combining grip with soft translucency, to allow the lipstick to be seen through a web of threads. Allows for a random composition, with multiple options in terms of being rendered in color.
Organic Metal: Cast in polished metal, rendered with the ergonomic and aesthetic attributes of an organic form contoured for gripping, opening, twisting.
