This is an experiment using the packaging I made for SAE-REN. They currently have two beauty lounges in Singapore.
Full case study to see the branding, website, remaining packaging and details: https://www.mariya.design/case-studies/sae-ren

SAE-REN — Luxury Beauty Identity & Packaging System | Mariya Design | Mariya Design
A K-beauty identity and multi-SKU packaging system built to keep skincare, makeup, spa and digital applications recognizably SAE-REN as the brand expanded.
The tension between the calm product framing and that fluid red-black stretch is really striking. I’d pick Butterfly—the distortion gives the packaging a more memorable sense of motion.
Butterfly for me. The red arcs framing the lipstick turn it into a really playful focal point.
butterfly..👍

Two case studies, two totally opposite registers.
One is carved in stone and says nothing.
One drips off a spoon and won't shut up about which field it came from.
Which one do you want first?
vectis — zero-knowledge privacy, dithered like a forgotten statue
HIVE INDEX — raw honey with a paper trail. No two lots taste the same, and we don't correct for that.

I Just Created HYDRUM VEIL 🔥
HYDRUM VEIL is a skincare brand built around a premium SPF 50+ sunscreen, developed as a complete brand identity, packaging design, and seasonal advertising campaign.
The project explores a question most seasonal beauty work gets wrong: how do you make a limited-edition campaign feel festive without making it feel cheap?
Instead of stacking decorative props, the campaign holds a strict visual system - vivid pumpkin orange, deep twilight violet, warm cream, and restrained black and lets a single product carry every frame.
Drop your replies in cmnts.....!!!!! 🙌

Where should the photo live - behind the words or beside them?
Same pilates studio, same headline.
01 - Photo as the background. Full-bleed atmosphere: the room wraps around the words. Immersive and cinematic, but the text only survives thanks to a darkening overlay laid over the image.
02 - Photo beside the text. A clean split: words on calm ground, the room in its own column. Everything readable at a glance, the trade is a little less drama.
One sells the feeling. The other sells the clarity. Which hero would make you book the class?
