Do you need makeup palette at a wholesale price for a makeup line? If YES, here are top 50 makeup palette manufacturing companies in the world.
In the makeup world, a palette is a board or kit with several shades of eye shadow or other products lined up to be used together.
This use of the word is inspired by the palettes of the art world. Makeup palettes always seem like they offer so much bang for your buck—and really they do.
Makeup palettes are sold by the unit and they tend to vary in price. Low-end palettes start from at least $5, while high-end ones sell for upwards of $150. Have it in mind that the profit margins for this industry average 40%, with some running as high as 80%.
While wooden palettes are some of the most commonly used, many manufacturers now offer plastic or recycled plastic palettes, which are reusable and more rugged. In this present age, there are even metal palettes, such as steel and aluminium, available for more extreme needs.
