Hello,
we received these bronzers in 2024, UNAWARE that viseart, the manufacturer, sent stock from their 2021 batch.
However, as noted by Viseart, the manufacture date has nothing to do with expiration of pressed powder products, it is simply a legal requirement reference point. We also place an Period After Opening (PAO) symbol icon on all palettes which for Viseart pressed powders is 36 Months.
Most pressed powder palettes if stored in cool dry places can last much longer than 36 months, however, we recommend discarding the palette 36 months after opening as most contamination occurs when shades have been touched by fingers unclean brushes etc.
Hope this helps to clarify things on manufacture date vs expiration.
We're sorry that the packaging is no longer in perfect and fresh out of production condition, but these are supperficial details that don't change the quality of the product.
Best Regards
