I think your idea is excellent, open a shop, promote it and see what happens. i have a girlfrined down there and herself and her sister are in the cosmotoligist profession, they do hair style and color, manicure and pedicure and they know their makeup. they might be able to help you? they live on the southside.

If you read the corruption thread about the woman with problems getting her containers through customs/aduana, it may be a start.

Probably need to find out what the taxes/duties are on makeup.

Scotty, Can you give me some information on them and where they are, maybe they can help me. Do you all think it can be a money maker in the south side of Cali. this is a safer area, right?

Before I got into messing around with containers, maybe it makes more sense to take two or more 50-pound boxes as accompanied luggage into Colombia, pay your taxes at the airport, and see if the product moves on a commission/trial place with a couple of local retailers or beauty salons. Unless the packaging is excessive, I imagine you could fit a lot of product into a couple of big boxes or suitcases.

THEN, if the trial is successful, rent a store, buy fixtures, etc, etc...
