MACORA was inspired by the soft geometry of macarons, cosmetic collectibles, and playful fashion accessories.
The visual direction combines pastel tones, tactile finishes, and fluid organic patterns to create a cosmetic experience that feels both elegant and expressive.
The project explores the balance between luxury aesthetics and youthful interaction through material contrast, chain details, and wearable functionality.
