Spotting Fake M.A.C Pigments

As you all know M.A.C Pigments are very high quality products and there are fakes being sold online so be care ful with this post i am going to show you how to find real m.a.c pigments and how to spot fake ones!


Step 1. First of all look at the Price. Of course you want the best deal possible, but is paying less for something awesome and instead receiving a replica of the product worth it. . .No? M.A.C pigments are a little expensive, but they are high quality and that little tub of product lasts a very long time. So actually, if you are purchasing a color that you will use regularly then it is not expensive in the long run.

Step 2. Look at the bottom of the box. If there is a sticker on the box, it is most likely safe. If the bar code is printed on the box, then don't even bother opening it. It is fake.

Step 3. There should be a round black sticker on top of the box with the name of the color on it. On the bottom, there should be a clear or silver sticker with the name of the shade on it. Stickers that do not have the name of the shade, but only the number on it are fake.

Step 4. Look at the lid of your pigment. After unscrewing the black cap, there should be a protective lid covering the pigment. This lid should not have a hole in it to pour. If your pigment lid has a whole in it, send it back for a refund.

Step 5. Test a little bit of the pigment on your hand. Authentic MAC pigment will leave a rich color on your skin with the use of just a little. It is also difficult to remove and requires makeup remover if if does not leave a pigmented colour and rubs off easily it's a . . .FAKE!
