Kylie Jenner Loss: Kylie Cosmetics, KKW Beauty Shut Down Operations
In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, different industries such as tourism and entertainment were forced to postpone transactions amid the ongoing health crisis.
The entertainment industry is feeling the pinch of the pandemic after it reportedly gained a big loss given that several productions, theaters, and films have decided to shut down operations.
As for the beauty commerce, major cosmetic brands like Sephora, Ultra Beauty, and Benefit have announced that they will be temporarily closing some of their physical stores and shifting to online sales to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
However, after an alarming increase of COVID-19 cases globally, the government of California has declared a statewide shelter-in-place order as their sweeping measures to alleviate the situation.
KKW Beauty and Kylie Cosmetics Production Halted
This has led to fulfillment centers blocking all shipments of nonessential products, including beauty products of Kim Kardashian's KKW Beauty and Kylie Jenner's Kylie Cosmetics.
In an official statement released by KKW via Twitter, the brand announced that they will be halting the production for the time being in response to the current health crisis. KKW also thanked it's consumers for their "patience and understanding."

"While our website remains available to accept orders, our fulfillment center cannot guarantee delivery dates at this time. Your order will receive top priority as soon as we can resume shipping," the statement reads.
The brand also explained that they have adjusted the return policy. Orders placed on or after March 16 may cancel their order for a full refund at any time. "The customer service team will be reaching out via email to every customer who purchased on or after March 16 over the coming days," the brand added.
Shortly after KKW Beauty released the statement, Kylie Cosmetics issued the same sentiments regarding the temporary postponement of their operations.

Furthermore, KKW Beauty previously issued a statement announcing the delayed release of their new Classic II eyeshadow palette and nude lip glosses.
