It is up to you. I don't think anyone on here is an expert in make-up, but some things last longer than others. It would be a risk, and you might end up selling and refunding every one...or they might all turn out to still be good. You can mention it is 5 years old in the listing. I personally would not waste my time listing it with the risks involved, but that is just me

I vote for not selling it. I wouldn't do it. 5 years is pretty old, even if unopened. Why take a chance? Since it's sealed, you really don't know the actual condition. It can settle & change over time. For many products about 3 years is the shelf life as already mentioned.

Some beauty products go bad over time. And many such brands are very aggressive in protecting their sales due to very, very high profit margins so also be prepared for a VERO takedown.

As long as it's new, sealed with no expiry date, you can, but at your own risk.

ETA: I used to sell makeup - the only stuff I've ever seen go bad was lipstick and mascara (lipstick turns to chalky sticks and the mascara dries up).

Might try looking up the brand and seeing if there are any problems. I have 5 year old foundation and it's fine.
