My Makeup Ideas Makeup tutorials and beauty tips!
When it comes to creating the perfect makeup look, you not only need the best foundations, blushes, lipsticks and eyeliners, but also high quality brushes to apply all your pricey beauty products. MAC is known for selling the highest quality of makeup brushes on the market. They are extremely popular, but they are a bit expensive. This means that people are looking for deals on MAC brushes online. Buying your MAC brushes from sites like eBay and Amazon can help you save. However, it might leave you vulnerable to getting a fake brush. There are a lot of copy MAC brushes on the market that aren’t the real thing. This means that you need to be able to spot a fake.
Here is what you need to know when looking how to identify a fake MAC brush:
Packaging
The first difference that you will notice in fake MAC brushes is the packaging that is used. Real authentic MAC brushes will come in clear packaging that has a bar code on the sleeve. This means that if you see a brush in a clear sleeve that does not have a barcode, it is likely not an authentic MAC brush. If you see an additional protector over the hairs of the brush, this might also be a telltale sign that it is a fake. Most real MAC brushes do not come with additional protectors over the hairs of the brush.
Look
Another thing that you should look for in a fake, is the appearance of the handle. A real MAC brush will have a handle that is made from wood and is black in color. The neck of the brush is silver in color. Fakes will often have necks that are plastic or have different colors. This means that if the neck of the brush is not silver, it is likely not a real MAC brush.
Label Appearance
All MAC brushes that are real are labeled using a number. This means that the brush will have a label that includes the MAC lettering and then a number to identify the brush. Real MAC brushes have the lettering that is only printed onto the brush. This means that you can actually rub off the number. However, fakes have the number engraved. This means that on fake MAC brushes you can’t rub off the lettering or number.
