For many, applying cosmetics is a ritual that boosts confidence and enables self-expression. The Ritual Cosmetics lipstick is a product that makes beauty easy and accessible. The design prioritizes tactility and texture with thoughtfulness towards the needs of visually-impaired and arthritic users. A flat-packable visual merchandising display reflects the sleek, elegant, and zen nature of the lipstick.

COSMETIC DESIGN
PRIMARY PACKAGING DESIGN
BRAND IDENTITY

DESIGN PROCESS
The visual inspiration for the lipstick and overall brand identity was inspired by zen gardens, water ripples, and fluting. I aimed to evoke a sense of calm and elegance.


SKETCHING
The final form was a combination of a concept that implemented texture on the main touch points of a traditional bullet lipstick and another concept that prioritizes an ergonomic overall shape.




PROTOTYPING
Iterations of the final design were 3D printed, tested, and finished to produce the final prototype.

FUNCTION
