Questions

What makeup founders ask

What MOQ do we need for a lipstick range?

MOQ depends on the format and the manufacturer we match you with. We share options at different quantities in the development plan so you can choose.

Can you match a shade we already sell?

Yes. Send the product and we brief the lab to match it, then check the match on skin before you approve.

Do you shoot the swatches?

Our growth team plans swatch content with your launch, so listings and ads show each shade on real skin.

Launch a colour range people actually wear.

Tell us the categories, shade count and price point. We come back with a range plan.
