So I decided to do this blog after thinking about a call that I got from my sister @PrincessYasmeen (twttier) She called me and said "Girrrl they have MAC makeup at the beauty supply store!!!" ....PAUSE!!!! Did you say MAC at our beauty supply store?? So you know I had to run over and check it out!! It was no surprise that this was FAKE!!!! I was surprised because my sis is the MAC queen, she is ALWAYS in MAC. So I just wanted to give some tips on spotting fake MAC.
Let's start with the obvious!!
A girl can dream but MAC NEVER has and NEVER will sell products like this
 |
| A Palette with 90 colors!!For $32 LOL!! I don't even think you can get 3 shadows from MAC for $32 Moving ON!! |
 |
| Self explanatory!! Put that where??? Back there!! |
Now for the fake shadows and pigments
 |
| MAC shadows will never come with a sponge applicator |
 |
| If you see a Palette with a sponge applicator and a mirror please drop it and run! |
 |
| MAC shadows never have separate compartments to hide away a little sponge applicator! PLEASE! |
 |
| There is no secret compartment that contains a mirror!! | | | | | |
|
|
 |
| Now you know darn well you have NEVER walked into MAC and seen foolishness like this! |
Now for the pigments! This is what gets most people!
 |
| #1 giveaway MAC pigments do not have this little spot!! Come on you have to do better than this! Bootleggers step ur game up |
 |
| Authentic pigment on the left! The real pigment has a plastic lifter that has code on it |
 |
| Authentic MAC pigments contain an alpha numeric code (ex. A73) as well as the color name |
 |
| Notice how the fake pigment only has a color name |
 |
| Notice these fakes have only a color name |
 |
| This fake on the other hand only has a number on the bottom |
 |
| They almost had it right. These fakes actually contain an alpha numeric code but no color name |
|
|
|
Another tip: The labels on the bottom are now a silver/gray color.Older products may contain a clear label but NEVER black
 |
| colors are nice but not very vibrant |
 |
| The authentic MAC colors are way more pigmented |
Here are some other fake products
 |
| Fake MAC blush hard to see but label says M03 WHAT is that. There is no color name. For instance this looks kind of like MAC's "pink swoon" if it was MAC it would have that color name on the bottom. |
|
|
 |
| DEAD GIVEAWAY MAC's lipglass has black writing, not white!!! |
 |
| Authentic lip glass on the left , fake one on the right! The real one has alpha numeric code and color name. |
Always remember "Fakes are like fall leaves, found everywhere"
That's all for now dolls, so until next time.....
