What's inside a makeup liquidation pallet?
Makeup and cosmetics pallets at Discount Wholesalers Inc. come from U.S. drugstore and retail liquidation. Typical contents include:
- Lip products (lipstick, lip gloss, lip liner, lip balm)
- Eye products (mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, eyebrow pencils)
- Face products (foundation, concealer, blush, powder, highlighter)
- Nail polish (assorted colors and brands)
- Skin care (moisturizers, toners, serums)
- Personal care (deodorant, hair care, body wash)
Major brands commonly found include Revlon, L'Oréal, Maybelline, CoverGirl, NYX, Rimmel, and Wet n Wild. Each listing states its condition: shelf pulls, overstock or customer returns.
How much do wholesale makeup pallets cost?
- Makeup lots (about 50–600 pieces): from about $135
- Full cosmetics pallets (about 1,500–10,000 units): from about $2,000
On the largest mixed pallets the cost is about $0.85 per unit. Prices are fixed (no bidding) and change with every load, so check the wholesale makeup collection for today's prices. Resale results depend on your channel, pricing and the condition of each load.
Where to sell makeup pallet inventory
- eBay: High demand for brand-name cosmetics, especially Revlon, L'Oréal, and Maybelline.
- Amazon: Beauty is a restricted category for many sellers, so check Amazon's approval rules before listing cosmetics.
- Facebook Marketplace and local buy/sell groups: Cosmetic lots and grab bags sell quickly.
- Flea markets and swap meets: High-volume buyers of cheap cosmetics.
- Bin stores: Flat-price bin stores move makeup inventory very quickly.
- Beauty supply resellers: Some resellers sell to nail salons, hair salons, and small beauty supply stores.

Tips for makeup pallet resellers
- Sort by category first: Group lip products together, eye products together, etc.
- Check expiration dates: Dates are not guaranteed. Some cosmetics can be short-dated or expired, so check dates and ask for photos if they matter for your channel.
- Photograph in good light: Clear photos dramatically increase sell-through on eBay and Facebook.
- Bundle strategically: Small items like lip gloss and nail polish sell faster as curated bundles of 5–10 units.
- Price by brand: Revlon, L'Oréal, and Maybelline command higher prices than store brands.
