The price of lipstick has many grades, ranging from ten yuan to hundreds or even thousands. Some jokes are often circulated on the Internet, threatening his girlfriend is to break her lipstick.
Lipstick restorers are in operation. A 25-year-old girl from Chengdu worked as a lipstick restorer for four years. She came across many girls and wanted to buy two identical lipsticks.
After further questioning, I realized that I was afraid that one of them was broken, so I bought two identical spare ones. Some girls broke the commemorative lipstick and were very sad, so they had to leave it idle.
She tried to repair lipstick for these people around her, and found it very interesting, so she took this sideline as her main business. She said that she needed 24 yuan to repair a lipstick, including the cost of sending it back to customers.
Generally, the lipstick is mailed by the customer herself, and she will send it back after it is repaired. There are only more than twenty orders a day at most, and she needs to be busy from morning till night.
She posted a video of repairing lipstick and cosmetics online, and many netizens came here. Some customers' lipsticks are very memorable, such as first love, girlfriend's, etc., which are worth collecting.
Her studio is in her home, and there are all kinds of exquisite tools she needs on the workbench. She said that the temperature of lipstick repair should be well controlled, and high temperature may make lipstick deteriorate.
Some customers will write some requirements on the mailing package, such as adding some moisturizing ingredients to lipstick, and she will make changes according to the customer's needs when making it.
Some customers feel that the product is inconvenient to use and carry, and will let her pack it into small packages. There are also some fragile powders, highlights, eye shadows and so on. It will be repaired by her.
Many people in this new industry don't understand her, but they are still happy to do what they like. The emergence of new industries means new requirements.
Lipstick restorers are still very promising, because women's cosmetics are really expensive now, and they cost hundreds of thousands at a time, because they broke down because of a small mistake, and they really hurt all over.
Some netizens also expressed their concerns about safety and the proliferation of bacteria they created. But this lady has been engaged in the beauty industry for a long time, and many customers have asked her for repairs. What she repaired was not a beauty product, but also many memories.
The lipstick repairman said he didn't make much money, nor did he make money from it, but he thought it made sense. Loving a job doesn't matter how much money it can earn. It really depends on whether you like it or not and whether it is meaningful.
