ARCHIVE WORLD / ORIGINAL BRAND CONCEPT

The original website and packaging concept built a complete beauty persona. This editorial presentation revisits the early work without concealing its age or claiming a new commercial launch.

THE IDEA / THE PROCESS / THE PROOF

A beauty brand conceived as an alter ego: seductive, expressive, and unapologetically bold. An early original project, revisited through its identity, packaging concepts, campaign footage and website.

THE CONCEPT

The original SLAIN MAKEUP identity introduced beauty as a personality rather than a product alone. The idea created a space for people to express a sexy, dangerous side through makeup, with a distinctive brand voice and experience. Its archived Wix website included a shop presentation and booking navigation.

MY ROLE

Original concept creation · Creative direction · Brand identity direction · Packaging concepts · Product photography · Wix website design

THE PROCESS

I developed the original beauty-brand idea, packaging direction and website presentation. The historical site used an expressive cosmetics identity and connected browsing, shopping and booking. The original archival motion clips use dramatic red lighting and close-up makeup gestures. This portfolio refurbishment separates the original work from any newer presentation updates.

STATUS & OUTCOME

Historical beauty-brand project with an original Wix website and archived visual material. This 2026 portfolio presentation is a retrospective, not a claim of a current cosmetics launch, confirmed manufacturing, sales or campaign performance.

THE BRAND IS A PERSONA.

Long before revisiting this project, I imagined a cosmetics identity that felt like an alter ego: sensual, daring, and deliberate. The original site framed SLAIN MAKEUP as a personality, not just makeup. I carried that attitude into the concept and packaging direction, while the red-lit beauty footage captures the provocative mood of the brand’s visual world.
