This is just a quick mini guide, there are sooo many fake products out there and they are always changing.
Look at the color names, weights and labels because those are almost always the give away. There should be an actual NAME not a number. The font is usually a dead giveaway too, either it's not the right color or thickness. The color of the item is USUALLY a sticker on the box, fakes are usually printed on. The ingredient list is almost always A LOT less. Also, keep an eye out for typos. Fake MAC usually has shiny or semi shiny black casing while real MAC is matte.
Mac single eyeshadows do not flip open and they do not come with a sponge applicator. NOTHING MAC produces comes with a sponge tip applicator! Also check to make sure the color is correct. Many times they name is right, the package is right, but the color is a different shade. Mac does not make CREAM, 18, 12, 120, 180 eyeshadows. Fake pigments will have a cone shape plastic insert while real MAC has a flat insert. For blushes, make sure the sticker on the back says what finish the blush is.
As for brushes, if the brush has black metal connecting the brush to the wood, it's fake. The brushes say MAC and the the number and the lettering is engraved. There are however, silver metal brushes going around and yes, those too are fake. Make brushes do not come in a roll. There have been a few brush set but those only have 4-8 brushes, not 24, 32 etc etc.
Many of the fake MAC listing don't even mention MAC. Buying a lot of 60 MAC pigments for 100 bucks? NO WAY. They are FAKE! Check the sellers feedback too. And lastly, use your judgement! If you think it's fake MAC it probably is. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Go to the MAC website and see if the product exists, even email them or call them if you need to.
NO, NO, NO
great guide thanks!
ReplyDeletenice, I like the VV collections
ReplyDeletethnx 4 this, was wonderin bout those palettes n stuff
ReplyDeleteThe Hello Kitty collection also had 2 dazzle glasses. I purchased it at Nordstroms. I wanted to ass that there is A LOT of fake dazzle glass "Like Venus". Also the smell will let you know, MAC has a nice smell, the fakes smell citrus/dishwashing liquidy. And another common fake are purple and other colors for Lady Gaga and last but not least Dress Maker in WOnder Woman lipstick is beyond fake. In NYC there are a lot of people selling fake MAC on the street. Giant bags of crap. I was approached and I purchased Big Baby from PushGlass but it is fake! MY gut told me so because you can see the pigment is not high quality , something is not right. Trust your gut or always play it safe and buy from MAC stores, Bloomies, Nordstroms etc. Who needs a fake with who knows what in it? The whole point of MAC is the quality and great colors so no need to gamble. Thanks for the awesome blog!
ReplyDeleteyes thank you, sadly there is so much fake mac floating around and the packaging gets closer and closer to the real thing and they keep making more and more it's so hard to keep up with everything
