Wondering how beauty brands ship around the world during a global pandemic?
While the packaging components that make up an Urban Decay Naked2 Eyeshadow Palette are being produced in a factory in Asia, the makeup itself is being made on the East Coast. "We like to make the actual [product] that goes on your face in factories where we can be on the ground floor and have a lot of control," says cofounder Wende Zomnir.
The empty palettes and the shadows make their way, by boat, to the Dominican Republic, where assembly takes place.Shadows plus package get on another boat, headed back to the U.S. "We might do an emergency shipment here or there by plane," says Zomnir. "But you can get the same result by planning ahead and shipping it on a boat."One more trip — likely by truck — and the shimmering shadows are in a customer's hands.
