Why the makeup brush manufacturer has MOQ requirement

Some customers may wonder: since the makeup brush is a manual work, why has MOQ requirement? It should be the same for manual to make 1pcs and 10000pcs.

We should explain that, the reason to have MOQ is mostly due to the material. The makeup brush is manual work, but the material production is not, for example, the production of bristles, ferrules and handles is mechanized, so the material suppliers have MOQ requirement on the material.

Take bristles for example, the MOQ of the bristles is usually 5KG which can make thousands of brushes, so the makeup brush manufacturer has to make the MOQ of the brushes to be 1000pcs or more, otherwise the unused bristles may be wasted if no other customer needs the same bristles. The situation is the same for handles. Also, the painting on handles, the quantity in one painting may be 2000pcs, so if only 500pcs, the painting fee is the same as 2000pcs, it will increase the unit cost of the brushes.

Of course, if customers would like to accept higher price, it is totally ok for us to make any quantity. For example, the MOQ of a makeup brush is 1200pcs at USD1.0, while customers only need 500pcs or less, we have to recalculate the cost and requote, as the risks of “wasted” bristles should be afford by customers, so the unit price may become USD2.0 or more. If customers can accept such price, we are no problem to make 500pcs for them.

We know that many of our customers are not big factories; they may be the makeup artists who have a makeup studio, or the traders who are doing makeup brushes in their location. It is hard for them to order large quantity at one time. We really appreciate any chance to cooperate with any customers.

Therefore, during custom makeup brushes, it is better to let us know the quantity you need and your target price, so that we can know your exact target and act more quickly.
