MYSTICAL MAKE UP AND BEAUTY

First you need to be careful on the price if you buy a MAC Pigment / Eye Shadow / Lippies / Brushes  or any other products cheaper than MAC,  Like a MAC Pigment is 20GBP you pay 5GBP for the same size of a product.

 

There are new fakes that , they are nearly identical , with texture and colour , you need to consider that even on authentic MAC could have some scratches and damages, it might happen during the transport.

 

And there might be differences on MAC Products because MAC produces some products only for some certain countries , Like MAC does in Asia

 

And if the seller has that item in her/ his hand for a while, there might be damages in the box and bottle

 

Now Most of MAC’s limited edition items are MADE IN CHiNA

 

If you want to buy MAC from ebay buy it from a reputable seller

 

One other clue is if  you scratch the box with your finger nail if it is original it won’t leave any scratch marks

 

Most of fake MAC products are sold from Hong Hong

 

MAC always names their eyeshadows. Fake eyeshadows will often only label the stickers with number/letter codes.

MAC eyeshadows should have a flip top not a twist of cap

 

Some Sellers remove the label on the bottom of the products if i am not wrong that label is called UPC , they do this because they do not want their customer to take the product to MAC Counters

 

Authentic MAC eyeshadow do not come with a sponge applicator and mirror, Single eye shadows some eye shadow palettes comes up with a mirror and  not a sponge applicator but a small size brush this an authentic MAC Eye shadow Palette

 

I am not sure how true is this information but, as i read in forums, paypal is not covering for buyers if they purchased a fake mac product, they are asking  a proof document, And as I know MAC Cosmetic counter refused to give a proof of letter or a document because it has been purchased online not from MAC Cosmetics

 

 

Beaware that MAC has changed the packing of their pigments,

 

On the bottom of the box there should be a bar code label printed on a sticker. If the bar code is printed directly onto the bottom of the box then the product is a fake.
