ABOUT US

MAKE UP INC. is a Japanese distributor and manufacturer of cosmetics and other goods.: Since the foundation of the company in 1991, we have built deep trust relationships with domestic distributors and acquired diverse sales channels. In this process, we have steadily expanded our business portfolio, launching an agent business for foreign brand-name products and developing private brands, in order to meet the various needs of customers. These efforts have helped us gain the know-how needed to succeed in the Japanese market and nurture our ability to develop products that appeal to Japanese consumers with sensitive delicacy, thus achieving the growth that we have accomplished.

Our belief

We believe that our mission is to work in the interests of our many business partners at home and abroad, general consumers and ourselves. We are always committed to attaining further long-term growth with our customers.

Organizational structure

These teams work together organically on a project-by-project basis to ensure that a high level of quality is maintained in all the processes, which has earned us the trust and success we enjoy today.
