Overview

Lookfantastic is a UK-founded online beauty and cosmetics retailer that began as the Lookfantastic Group before becoming part of a larger e-commerce portfolio. (thebusinessdesk.com)

Brand origin and history

Lookfantastic was originally established in the United Kingdom and grew as a specialist online seller of hair, skincare, makeup and beauty devices before being acquired by a larger e-commerce operator. (thebusinessdesk.com)

Acquisition and ownership

Lookfantastic was acquired by The Hut Group (now THG plc) in 2010 and has operated as part of THG’s beauty division since that purchase. The Hut Group/THG plc is the ultimate owner of the Lookfantastic brand. (thg.com)

Manufacturing / sourcing and distribution

Lookfantastic retails thousands of third-party and owned-brand beauty products that are manufactured in many locations worldwide; as an online retailer its inventory and private-label manufacturing are sourced from multiple countries and global suppliers rather than a single manufacturing origin. The business ships internationally to a very large number of markets. (lesoutrali.com)

Current operating structure

Today Lookfantastic is operated within THG’s Beauty division and uses THG’s commerce and fulfilment capabilities (THG Ingenuity) and THG’s global retail infrastructure to service regional markets. THG plc remains the parent/ultimate owner and is headquartered in the UK. (en.wikipedia.org)
