The Craft Style Lettering for “SHE” in Caps, with “Essentials” written below it, was chosen to reflect a modern, elegant, and confident brand. The use of rose gold as the color scheme symbolizes the contemporary woman, aligning with the brand’s ethos of enhancing natural beauty and empowering self-expression through its range of cosmetics and makeup products.
