Karity 6-Pan Contour and Highlight Palette
Karity · Makeup & Cosmetics > Face Jewelry & Watches
Era / Decade
Late 2010s (circa 2016-2019); Karity rose to prominence during the 'Instagram makeup' era of heavy contouring.
Material
Pressed powder pigments in a cardboard magnetic palette with a matte finish. Ingredients typically include talc, mica, and mineral oil.
Condition
Good/Used. Several pans show evidence of light use (swatching or brush marks). There is visible fallout/powder residue on the black cardboard casing and edges of the pans.
Demand Level
Low. Used powder cosmetics have a very limited market due to hygiene risks, and the brand is currently less 'trendy' than it was five years ago.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$5.00 - $12.00

Comparable Sales
Similar lightly used Karity palettes frequently sell for $6-$10 on Mercari. New-in-box versions occasionally reach $15.
Description
Karity professional 6-color contour and highlight kit featuring three brightening/highlight shades (Tempess, Antidote, Lynx) and three contouring/bronzing shades (Mandy, Smirk, Exhibition). This palette is designed for a variety of skin tones to sculpt and define facial features.
Key Features
Highly pigmented formula, cruelty-free brand, versatile shade range for light to medium-deep skin tones, slim professional-style packaging.
Authenticity Indicators
Logo font and spacing match Karity's official branding. Specific shade names (Antidote, Smirk) are consistent with the brand's production. High confidence in authenticity.
Flaws to Note
Sanitary concerns are the primary flaw. The palette is clearly used, which significantly reduces value in the cosmetic market. Visible powder dust on the interior casing needs cleaning.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari or Poshmark. These platforms have a higher volume of used makeup sales compared to eBay, though they have strict rules regarding 'sanitized' vs 'lightly used' items.
Selling Tips
Thoroughly clean the casing with a makeup wipe and a Q-tip dipped in alcohol. Use high-quality photos in natural light. Clearly state that the item has been sanitized (standard practice is a light spray of 70% isopropyl alcohol). It may be better to bundle this with other affordable makeup items to make the shipping cost worthwhile for a buyer.
