01The brief

A makeup studio that should feel calm, elegant and modern the moment you see it: on the mirror, the card and the gift box.

04The concept

Ring+Wave+Z=Zae by Zayana

A single thin ring holds a Z drawn as two soft waves, like a brush stroke across skin or a fall of silk. The ring keeps it calm and premium, the waves bring the flow, and the light, wide lowercase wordmark carries the same line.
