Hello Dolls.... I have been working on starting my own Cosmetics line and securing the business side is complete (Licensing,Business plan, obtaining Funding) ... Now i am dead stomped on whether to go with a Private Labeling Company or Manufacturer.. Either way i want to create or tweak the formulas for my products to have the image/vision i desire but i could use a few secondary opinions.... What do you Dolls Think

Is it Logical to go with a Private labeling Company and have a successful company that stands out from the rest????? (Any tips, Advice?????) Steps I should take

Ok, I'm going to be honest and say I know nothing about business stuff like this. But the word "private" tells me that YOU would have more control over YOUR company/product, so if it were me I think I'd go that way, or at least start there!

It really comes down to 2 things- money and level of customization....If you have/want completely unique formulas then you'll want to go with a manufacturer. However, costs will be much higher, you'll pay by the hour just to get if formulated (may not come out right 1st time), samples of the finished product, filling fees, plus packaging/labeling are solely your responsibilty- seperate cost, you drop ship to them but pay to fill and label and minimum runs are usually high. If budget is a concern, you can find private label w/lower minimums, some will offer customization to stock bases and they usually do packaging/labeling in-house. Private label can be a good way to start, especially if you want to test your products before investing in excessive inventory, then as your company grows, you can always move to have your products custom manufactured.

I think it is absolutely awesome how positive everyone is being on here! I am working on my own formulas and I have been so lost as to how to get quality containers with my brand and honestly lost with the whole private label/manufacturer thing. So, this helped tons - thank you everyone! Good luck to all of you :) I will check back to see if you post your lines!

Hi there...I am also in the process of launching and am interested and leaning towards going with Pinnacle Cosmetics. I have reached out to their sales team and will be looking to do a visit to their showroom in the next 90 days. As I get more information, I will be delighted to share info and photos (if allowed there) in this forum or personally through my blog if you are interested on the process.

Hello, I have been trying to find ways to start my own false eyelash line, and possibly liquid and pencil liner makeup line. I wanted to know if anyone knows how I could get started on this? I have tried to google and basically end up with nothing. Does anyone know where and how I can start this? Thank You!

Dear, I did a big research and I think to everyone who wants to start your private brand, you should know this. start with one product. Lipsticks or lipgloss or any you think there is a need for it. regarding False lashes, I can help you to contact the right factories, am planning to start a cosmetics line, and can give you contacts info of suppliers. just contact me on what products you need. also, I want to ask if any tried the Pinnacle Cosmetics? are the quality is good or? here is my email so just email me.

Hi, regarding false eyelash company. Do you want to start eyelash factory or factory producing liquid products such as glues and removers? Or you are talking about OEM products?
