Makeup Artist Alarms

The Shu Uemura Times Keeps Fashion Shows on Track

Although the spectators at a runway show are only privy to the calm, measured steps of the models as they strut their stuff, backstage is often pure pandemonium; therefore, makeup artists could use something like the Shu Uemura Times to keep them on track and make sure the show goes off without any hitches.

Designed by Sean Lio, the Shu Uemura Times is an alarm clock made specifically for makeup artists. Perfectly sized to fit into any cosmetic kit, it features three modes: an alarm clock mode, appointment mode and counting mode for performing important functions, which can be switched by a knob. The overall clock is controlled by a button on the top. It is available in various colors.
