From visiting factory floors in Los Angeles to the sewers of San Francisco, the group have explored how the industry operates and its impact on the environment. They are beginning to question the true cost of the beauty industry, and on their quest for answers they meet a wide range of people, from farmers in Mexico supplying to industry to the homeless community in Skid Row and the LAPD.

The group are learning that brands work hard to protect their image, and one of the biggest threats to that image is the millions of counterfeit products being sold all over the world. Two of them meet a private investigator who sends them undercover on one of LA's busiest street markets, Santee Alley. After buying a haul of fake make-up, they meet an LAPD detective who reveals where all the seized products end up and the dangers of using fake cosmetics.
