Glossier Softglow


3D Modeling & Rendering

This project is a hypothetical extension of existing beauty brand Glossier. While Glossier has made steps towards sustainability, I saw an opportunity for them to expand on this idea in a way that remained approachable to their current customer base. Softglow is a refillable cosmetics line.










Research Process

After researching the brand’s values, aesthetics, and business model, I landed on a bath product line that would feature durable product containers which could be refilled. The market has seen a huge increase in refillable packaging as a way to decrease single-use plastic waste.

Sketching and Prototyping

The modeling and physical prototyping required intimate knowledge of the products that forced me to think critically about every decision. It took a lot of trial and error before I reached a form that looked like it could belong to Glossier.








Final Rendering

I practiced my KeyShot skills in order to art direct compositions of the final products. It was through rendering that I was able to create an image that I felt fit the context of the sub-brand.
