Here are some easy fast ways to tell if MAC is authentic. I am seeing more & more fake pigments. Google colors before purchasing. Most fakes will have names that belong to other items. For example a pigment will be named swimming...but that name is actually an eyeshadow. Counterfeit make up products containing high concentrations of various metals and carcinogenic ingredients normally banned from use in cosmetics. Applying these ingredients to the skin could lead to long-term health issues.

Is this listing inappropriate? Report Listing

valentinosamI'm glad you posted this. SO many users post fake items, and I hate seeing a fake mac product with a "sold" sign on it, makes me wonder if the person who purchased it knew. 😞 I heard the fakes come from China, and have embalming fluids and stuff like that in them. Gross.

mar825@valentinosam i know! Its really sad. Thats what made me post this. I would hate getting ripped off & dont want that to happen to anyone.

Nov 24Reply

valentinosam@mar825 yes! I'm not sure if you're familiar with the app mer. Car. I (spelled weird I know) but I see 10X as many fakes.. And they lie about it too!!

Nov 24Reply

mar825@valentinosam i havent heard of it

Nov 24Reply

valentinosam@mar825 ohh. It's an app like this- but they don't charge commission and such. And you're able to post anything- which makes it easier to sell counterfeits

Nov 24Reply

mar825@valentinosam oh gosh

Nov 24Reply

itslloI report people that sell fakes on here. .i can't stand it

Nov 24Reply

mar825@itsllo i dont feel like anything happens. I reported one and they are still selling it smh

Nov 24Reply

bellydollI got scammed. Worst part is I was buying for my foster girls and to think what they could have been using on their face. So scary. Thanks so mush for the post. And if anyone has authentic mac lipstick or glass they can give me a nice deal on please advise. I am trying to make sure these girls have a nice xmas.

Nov 24Reply

mar825@valentinosam the "mac" brushes u like arent mac. 100 numbers are face brushes (ex: foundation, blush), 300's are lips, & 200's are eyes. I noticed a brush for eyes but it had a 100 number. Then i noticed a 252 but made like a 213. The 252 is much bigger & has yellow blond hair. Smh

Nov 24Reply

valentinosamOh yea I know! I liked it so I can refer back to it!

Nov 24Reply

mar825@valentinosam oh lol

Nov 24Reply

itslloI know, i feel so bad for people that purchase!

Nov 24Reply

valentinosam@mar825 hi hun! I need your help-are you willing to take a peek at a users items and tell me if they are authentic? Sorry to be bothersome- if you could help me I will tag you in the listing. Just let me know ☺️

Dec 11Reply

mar825@valentinosam of course! Tag me girl

Dec 11Reply

valentinosam@mar825 just did! I tagged you in the listing that I was commenting with her. Thank you-

Dec 11Reply

mar825@valentinosam they look authentic! The numbers match the brush. But i'm curious why she would say that u cant exchange them. The middle one is black & white synthetic, that is why it has a red tone. The white picks up the pigment from the product

Dec 11Reply

valentinosam@mar825 oooh- I'm only interested in her eyeshadow in blushes but she always ignores my questions. Then completely ignores me, then later deletes the listing. That's why I was wondering if the things are fake ? You know? Doesn't make much sense to ignore a potential customer😒

Dec 11Reply

mar825@valentinosam her stuff is authentic but i'm with u! That is just weird & rude!!!

Dec 11Reply

valentinosam@mar825 right? Thank you for checking it out!!! 😁

Dec 11Reply

mar825@valentinosam you r welcome 👍

Dec 11Reply

prepinpearlsCould you check out the user @ obas??? I ordered some stuff and it looks legit but I have no clue how to tell so I'd rather be safe than sorry!

Dec 27Reply

mar825@prepinpearls her stuff is legit. Some brushes are questionable. The ones with the harder plastic sleeve. What did u purchase?

Dec 27Reply

prepinpearlsA holiday brush set in white and 3 lipsticks. Do all of her lipsticks seem real? That's what makes me super nervous! I hate the idea of not knowing what I'm putting on my face.

Dec 27Reply

mar825@prepinpearls u should be good. She has way to many items that are limited. Counterfeiters dont make limited stuff. And all her lipsticks match up, color, texture, etc. there was this one that i saw from someone else. Called lady bug & the texture was satin but it should be luster. Lmao

Dec 27Reply

prepinpearlsThat is so helpful to know! It's such a blessing to have posh users that watch out for others instead of taking advantage of people! You're great! I owe you lots of shares for your help lol

Dec 27Reply

mar825@prepinpearls thanks girly! We just need to help each other out!!! 👍

Dec 27Reply

Jan 11Reply

smarsh93Oh hun I know how to spot fakes she put it back up after deleting the listing as real I worked for mac. (As does my sister) I'm very knowledgeable to it

Jan 11Reply

smarsh93There's another girl who blocked me who has one up I questioned cause it looks okay but no serial number I'm gonna give you her name and the pigment cause she does have a few real ones up lmk what you think

Jan 11Reply

mar825@smarsh93 👍 what listing was it?

Jan 11Reply

mar825@smarsh93 there is a girl with a ton of pigments & she was so angry last night hahah called me a B & she said she was going to report me to mac headquarters & all kinds of fun stuff. Lmao

Jan 11Reply

smarsh93@nattydcastaneda and it's her steel blue pigment. Down a little bit on her page

Jan 11Reply

smarsh93It looks real for the most part but the writing seems wierd maybe just cause its faded and there's no stocking number/ serial like a34 on the bottom with the name

Jan 11Reply

smarsh93Tag her lol were they fake?

Jan 11Reply

smarsh93Love your closet btw tell me you trade!?

Jan 11Reply

mar825@smarsh93 the pigment is real! Those tags had a white batch code. Thats why u cant see it in the pic.

Jan 11Reply

smarsh93Ahh okay good.

Jan 11Reply

smarsh93Found more that I know are fake though there's alot on here

Jan 11Reply

mar825@smarsh93 the last one is fake. I dont traded. & why would u for mac. You said your sis works there... U should ask her to buy stuff with her discount

Jan 11Reply

smarsh93Yeah I know some colors I didn't jump on so aren't sold there anymore sadly and I'd rather trade and not have to buy feel me lol!! But I do do thaf still when I really want something just had her get me kitchmas and the prep and prime finishing powder which I love btw

Jan 11Reply

smarsh93I try to let people know though when something is fake and sometimes I get the oh man I didn't know and they reduce/change it or delete it... but 9/10x they already know and get defensive and flip out relist and block so then I report them I've seen a few people with tons and tons of makeup that's fake it is horrible and they sell alot as real to so many poor people

Jan 11Reply

smarsh93I didn't trash that girl I wanted to buy but was hesitant and asked a question about it wtf. Please let her know I was an interested buyer who was just jipped on 3 pigments (what was in the pics wasn't what I was sent) and I just didn't want to buy another fake I have no use for them but the trash cause theyre dangerous I didn't say they were fake I said I was hesitant cause I didn't see the numbers

Jan 11Reply

smarsh93@nattydcastaneda (or just retag her)

Jan 11Reply

mar825@smarsh93 its okay thats why i added a comment

Jan 11Reply

mar825@smarsh93 the two shadows u have are what color? One u responded as electric eel & what is the other? Why is electric eel so expensive if people can buy it for $16 new. Just wondering

Jan 11Reply

smarsh93Cause typically I trade and I don't remember what the other is I'll look when home (:

Jan 11Reply

smarsh93(I wouldn't sell it for more then 12$) I had then on reserve and then took them off a little while ago that's all.

Jan 11Reply

valentinosam@mar825 I'm gunna tag you on this girls page .. I'm pretty sure her stuff is fake & I reported her because she's saying it's authentic.

Mar 01Reply

crhanHi I live in Whittier. Was ordering if ur willing to meet so I could look at ur Mac products. Wherever u feel comfortable. If not, no worries :) but it would be great so I don't have to pay shipping costs

trist0308I have been a RM with MAC since 2008 and the amount of fakes that I have seen on here is incredible! So glad you posted this! It is extremely frustrating to see especially knowing that some of these fakes can be dangerous for the skin and eyes!

Jul 17Reply

mar825@trist0308 its crazy huh! I was an RM also. I don't like seeing people being taken advantage so i hope this post helps some
