Max Factor Green Powder Eyeshadow - Half-used Vintage Collectible for Display

No, this eyeshadow is absolutely not safe for use on skin. It is sold strictly as a collectible display item due to its age. Vintage cosmetics may contain ingredients that are no longer considered safe or have degraded over time.

The price reflects its value as a rare, preserved artifact of beauty history, not as functional makeup. For collectors and makeup historians, its half-used state, original packaging, and authentic patina contribute to its unique character and rarity, much like other historical collectibles.

We accept returns within a standard window for items that arrive damaged during shipping, provided they are in the original received state. Due to the subjective nature of vintage wear and its collectible purpose, we cannot accept returns for dissatisfaction with the item's authentic, aged condition.

The glass bottle is securely wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in a padded box with clear "Fragile" labeling. We take extra care in packaging due to the delicate nature of the item, and shipping includes insurance for your protection.

The original glass container measures approximately 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter and stands 2 inches (5 cm) tall. This compact size makes it perfect for displaying on a vanity or shelf alongside other vintage treasures.

The patina refers to gentle surface wear on the glass, and the tarnishing presents as mild discoloration on the metal lid, consistent with its age. This authentic wear, which may include light scratches and label fading, adds to its genuine vintage character and is showcased in multiple photos in the listing.

We recommend gently dusting the item with a soft, dry brush only. Avoid using any liquids, chemicals, or abrasive materials, as these could damage the original packaging and its prized patina. Preservation of its authentic state is key for a collectible of this nature.

While we cannot provide an exact manufacture date, the packaging design and style are consistent with Max Factor products from the mid-20th century. Its specific design cues, like the glass bottle and typography, are hallmarks of vintage beauty artifacts from that era.
