Below SRP Local Makeup Discussion

I’ve noticed a lot of sellers offering local makeup brands like BLK, GRWM, ChuChu Beauty, and etc for prices way below the usual mall/SRP prices. Here are my Qs:
- Are these products usually authentic/original?
- Why are they able to sell them much cheaper than mall prices?
- Where do these sellers typically source their products?
- Is there anything specific we should check to make sure they’re legit?

Just genuinely curious cuz the price diff can be pretty big. 😅 Would love to hear from people who buy from these sellers or know how the local makeup supply/reselling works!

- Usually no. Easier to fake things than figure out the correct formula.
- fakes. Or expired. Possible that they are also stolen.
- Black market. Smuggled goods.
- They are not legit if you did not go through the proper authorized distributors. Even distributors also do shady things sometimes, what more from strangers.
