Flaws to Note
The item is used. Cosmetics present a hygiene risk; several pans show significant use. Cardboard packaging is difficult to fully sanitize. No original outer box included.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari, Poshmark, or Glambot. Mercari is generally the most active for individual used makeup sales; Poshmark handles 'closet' sales well, though they have strict policies on used cosmetics.
Selling Tips
Sanitize the palette with 70% isopropyl alcohol before shipping. Take high-resolution photos in natural light and explicitly state in the listing that the item has been used and sanitized. Use 'Warm Neutrals' and 'Terracotta' as keywords. Since value is low, consider bundling with other makeup items to save on shipping costs.
