Why the big cosmetics brands usually do not accept new suppliers

Since there are so many companies who manufacture and sell color cosmetics, there must be a lot of chances for makeup brush manufacturers and suppliers to promote their products; also since Made-in-China products have been so popular around the world, the Chinese makeup brush factories may have more chances to gain orders from these companies.

While the fact is, most makeup brush manufacturers can not gain orders from famous brands like MAC, BB, Lancôme etc, therefore, although the sales of the Chinese makeup brush factory send hundreds emails to these brands, they seldom get any feedback.

The reason is that these companies have had there regular suppliers who may be the manufacturer, trading company or distributors from china or other countries. They only accept these suppliers, as they must have done a lot of work before establishing relationship with these suppliers: they must have come to the makeup brush factory to fulfill factor audit, evaluate the makeup brush quality as well as the delivery issues during their previous cooperation. If they aim to accept another factory or supplier, everything needs to be back to the very beginning step, which will waste a lot of time, money and manpower. And if the new suppliers are not better or even much worse than the previous suppliers, it is really a great loss. Therefore, sourcing new suppliers is somewhat not cost-effective and really has big potential risks. That is the major reason why the famous brands would like to keep relationship with the original suppliers as long as there is no big or serious conflict.

In fact, the makeup brush manufacturers should not limit on these famous brands, there are so many trading companies and not so famous color cosmetics companies who would like to do business with us, and these customers have very big potential.
