Thanks so much Mrs. L for these photos. As you guys know we should all be aware of fake MAC products, and fortunately so many pursebuzzers are on the look out for these bad bad products. Thanks detectives!
This is a prime example of a fake MAC Eyeshadow.
This whole ordeal is disgusting.. even down to the box :\

wow that looks incredibly fake.
thats why people should buy mac cosmetics in the official stores and websites
OMG! I don’t know why, but when I got home last night from a “MAC PARTY” I bought some eye shadows, foundation, lipstick (heatherette), lip liner, some lip balms and a brush set. Something told me some of the things looked fake! I totally bought fake MAC eyeshadow, I no that now, but now I’m wondering about everything else! The one thing I could see was that the Mineralized foundation was real, but when I saw the packaging for a foundation stick I bought at this party called studio fix fluid I knew something was up! I checked the actual MAC site & compared the product I bought along with what the actual product was on the mac’s website & I totally got dooped! I have to say I’m really upset & I’m not happy because I trusted a friend who said that the person holding the MAC party was an actual MAC employee who got some product from being a distributor of MAC so here we were thinking we bought MAC products & being the little investigator I am, these products are not real!!!
really? thats so mean! i cant believe people put the time and effort to even MAKE fake mac
I got hustled to. I bought a palette for my daughter who said it might be fake, when I got home and got on the MAC website they only had 4, and 15 compacity palettes. Mine has 12. But the same person was selling brush sets for $50 and $200 dollars. They were fake to - all black with the MAC name on them. The MAC website brushes are black and silver. BEWARE, I’m so glad I didn’t pay $50 for the brush set.
Oh goodness, Id never imagine anyone that would attempt to replicate the well known shadows. Brushes yes, but eye shadows?? I immediately ran to my traincase and compared the boxes of the shadows that I bought on Ebay to the ones I bought @ the M.A.C store.. Phew!! Authentic!
i am super shocked. these manufacturers should be stopped, it’s not even a good fake. no wonder someone on youtube asked how many grams are the shadows, i thought what kind of question is that, now i know why.
Be careful about the gram question. The MAC site itself has the eyeshadows listed as 1.5g/0.05oz now. So, not all that are 1.5g are fake. These on here, however, look EXTREMELY fake. It’s a crying shame.
thanks for this. but where r they selling fake stuff besides ebay??? cuz I wont shop there,. the only place I buy mac from is macys or mac online, do they sell fake mac or fake stuff at macys??? they better not.
The word “poids” which means weight in French has been misspelled in the fake as “poeds”
haha
macys does not sell anything fake. the products at the mac counters there are 100% authentic.
Rosiedaisy: You are totally right! The word is spelled incorrectly.
Thank you Pursebuzz… for putting this up!
wow. it’s amazing how fake can still look so “real,” ya know? the mirror, tho’, is kinda cute. heehee

Bora Bora…
wait… on the “fake” box it says 1.5g and on the “real” box it says 1.3g… but on the mac website it shows it as 1.5g… whats up with that?
hahahahahahahaha
photo to painting…
You can also track down what you are looking for in the school library….
Geeezzz do people have to counterfeit everything?!
thats so scary thats why i will never buy makeup on ebay
even if i see its something old that i think i will love. even highly rated popular sellers sell fakes on ebay its awful
thankyou so much Puresbuzz for putting this up. I’ve totally memorized the differences, and when I think about it I want to tell myself I would have easily called the bluff, but I admit I don’t really look at the packaging that close when I buy it. This is disgusting and gets me so irrate! Hopefully no one else becomes victim of this scam. MAC lovers unite!<3<3
i cant beleive someone would do that..
isnt that illigal.
thanks for telling us!
im glad i only buy things from the store!
I got an eyeshadow from Amazon, my first MAC one.
i was a bit weary to buying it, so i searched for fake mac, and how to spot it.
you really helped and my eyeshadow is authentic!:)
xxxxxx
ew. thats terrible.
thanks so much for posting this! i’ve looked on ebay before in hopes of finding mac eyeshadow, but have always been so weary of it because they all look fake!
isnt there some kind of legal action that can be taken against these people? like false advertizing, fraud, infringement? this is crazy
wow i never thought MAC had fakes haha just wow thanks a bunch, if you didnt post this i wouldve never guessed
whoaaa,
i didn’t know people made fake mac products!
that’s insane.
but i would probably not be able to tell the difference on my own.
lol!! the mirror and sponge tip applicator picture is funny!
That upsets me to know that people would go so far as selling fake mac products! hmmmm… thnx for the look out though
i cant believe people even sell them!
WAIT, can you still use them??
or is that a bad idea??
I have bought fake mac before and theres no big deal to it its the same thing most products ive used seem to be better than real MAC … Weird huh ..
LOL. I live in TDot and if you go downtown, China Town, you see these mini stores in the mall that see a whole bunch of MAC products. They look exactly the same as the real thing. But with that picture, there really is a difference! Haha. I’m still wondering if the fake products work as well or if they’re comparable. (Totally bad how they sell them)
Those Pictures * (Didn’t realize there were more here :P)
Why would there be a market for fake mac, i mean, it is not as good as it. The quality would be lacking in some regard. I was thinking about going to ebay to buy some, good thing i’m addicted to pursebuzz!
no only is the quality not any good, it’s not M.A.C. There are some real M.A.C items for sale, but it really hard to tell which is which if you don’t know what to look for. I can advise you that anything that is being bought from over seas 9 out 10 times is fake. Be careful.
You will be happy to know that I was one that got got with the fake M.A.C makeup from Ebay. I was so happy to have bidded a lot of e/s for the amount that I did, I was jumping for joy. It wasn’t until I actually got(this was in the beginning of my makeup stages….early last year)that I noticed it was not the real thing. I compared some of the e/s containers that I owned to the ones that I recieved from winning the bid. I vowed to never by M.A.C makeup from Ebay again. My as well do it right, and by it from the store. I must admit, there are some real M.A.C makeup to be bought, but I work right across the street from a M.A.C counter anyway. Be very careful ladies…..it really is out there. Thanks for sharing PB!!!!
Thank goodness for the helpers out there especially you to keep me aware of these Fake Ones…This really helped me..
that just makes me not even want to buy anything on Ebay anymore. i am definetely going to shop at the stores now!
This is sad. I just spent $80 on MAC products that are ALL FAKE! Bad part is it is my BOSS’S FRIEND who sold them to me so I don’t want to cause trouble at work. I’m SO upset
