Makeup Logistics and Lipstick's Long-Haul Journey

Everything is Logistics

Ever wondered about the journey your favorite makeup product takes before it lands in your makeup bag?
In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the global and complex supply chain of makeup. From overseas manufacturing to the challenges of quality assurance, customs clearance, and the race against expiration dates, we'll explore how your beauty essentials make it from the factory to your front door.
In our first segment, we'll navigate the world of makeup production and distribution, uncovering the hidden hurdles that impact product quality and availability. Then, in the second half, we'll get into the often-overlooked issue of makeup returns—revealing how retailers manage them... or sometimes, how they don't manage them at all.
Whether you're a beauty enthusiast or just curious about where your products come from, this "source to porch" story will enlighten and inform.
