100% authentic item. I am a former makeup artist and am listing a lot of rare and hard to find MAC and other cosmetics. This item will come without the original packaging as I will be taking it out of a 15 pan pro palette. It has never been used and was my back up. There may be light signs of imperfections due to me de-potting this item but I do not notice anything that is major at all. This was removed from a pot and I put the original label and magnet on the bottom to add it to my palette. I will package it carefully.
