Ulta Beauty Contour Kit (Original Edition)
Ulta Beauty · Clothing & Accessories > Makeup & Cosmetics
Era / Decade
Mid-2010s (circa 2014-2016). The face chart design and font are consistent with Ulta's branding during the height of the contouring trend.
Material
Pressed powder cosmetics housed in a cardboard and plastic palette with a clear acetate/plastic overlay chart.
Condition
Fair to Poor. The exterior packaging shows significant scuffing, edge wear, and visible debris. The interior clear plastic sheet is smudged. Most critically, for used cosmetics, hygiene is a primary concern.
Demand Level
Low. Mass-market used cosmetics have very little resale value due to hygiene regulations and the affordability of purchasing a new, sterile version.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$0.00 - $5.00
Estimated Retail Value
$18.00 - $24.00
Comparable Sales
Recent listings for new-in-box Ulta palettes of this type sell for $8-$12. Used versions frequently fail to sell or are bundled for $1-$3 in 'junk drawer' style lots.
Description
This is a pre-owned Ulta Beauty Contour Kit featuring four powder shades: Radiance Highlighter, Lustre Highlighter, Warmth Bronzer, and Golden Bronzer. The palette includes a built-in guide overlay showing application placements on a face illustration. Compact cardboard design with magnetic closure.
Key Features
Instructional face chart overlay for beginners; popular 'all-in-one' travel-friendly size; four versatile neutral shades suitable for light-to-medium skin tones.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The logo, font, and specific shade names ('Warmth Bronzer', 'Lustre Highlighter') align perfectly with Ulta's house brand manufacturing from that period.
Flaws to Note
Significant cosmetic wear to the outer casing; missing the original box; sanitization issues (used makeup carries bacterial risks); scuffs and scratches on the display window.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Not recommended for resale. Most major platforms (eBay, Poshmark, Mercari) have strict policies against selling used makeup. Local marketplaces (Facebook Marketplace) might allow it, but shipping costs would likely exceed the item's value.
Selling Tips
As an appraiser, I advise against purchasing this for resale. Used cosmetics are a high-liability item. If you own this, it is better suited for personal practice or art projects. If listing, you must disclose if it has been sanitized and provide clear photos of the powder pans to show usage levels.
