Mac lipstick adds color without looking thick, is not easy to come off, and has a chocolate flavor, making it very suitable for daily use. So how to identify the authenticity of Mac lipstick? Below I provide you with the authenticity diagram of Mac lipstick.
How to tell the authenticity of Mac lipstick
MAC bullet lipsticks come in a wide range of colors, ranging from moist to matte textures. They are lipsticks that are very popular among consumers. . So, how should we distinguish the authenticity of MAC bullet lipstick when purchasing? Let’s take a look below!
Distinguish the authenticity of MAC bullet lipstick from the LOGO. The trademark LOGO of counterfeit products is rough in printing, and the fonts are MAC branding is inconsistent. The printing is exquisite, the details are clear, and the font style is exactly the same as that reported by MAC.
Distinguish the authenticity of MAC bullets from the internal structure. Judging from the internal structure, counterfeit lipsticks often have damage, and the upper part of the rotating structure suddenly shrinks. The interior workmanship is exquisite, the paste is intact, and the rotating structure is a parallel structure with the same width up and down.
From the tube body, you can tell whether the MAC bullet is genuine or fake. The tube body is dark in color, the edges of the LOGO font are rough, and there is no three-dimensional effect. The silver bars have obvious joints and paint is generally peeling off. The color of the genuine tube is subtle gray-black, and the printed edge of the LOGO font is extremely clear, and it will have a three-dimensional effect when magnified.
1. First of all, the bullet-shaped casing of MAC is very special:
The color of the replica casing is pure black, while the genuine MAC is slightly grayer in color. The casing of the genuine Mac uses a special laser mill technology to embed glitter into black and gray paint.
The amount of glitter in genuine paint is just right, while the glitter in imitation paint may be very dense or simply ignored. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled when buying. Look clearly!
2. There should be a white prototype sticker at the bottom of the lipstick prototype, with a circle on it and the lipstick number and its name
For example: counter When trying colors, you can pay attention to the outer shell. Some are directly printed on it, and some have a round label attached. The red line marks the color number, with thick black letters in capital letters.
3. The "M.A.C." of the bullet casing should be very delicate. If the dots in the middle are misplaced or the font is scratched, it’s a fake!
4. The cover of the shell should fit the shell perfectly (if you have two bought from different stores If you buy a MAC, you can swap the two caps. If they don’t fit well, it means one of the two is a replica.)
5. After opening the cap, the lipstick itself should be distributed. It emits a faint aroma of green grass (some people think it is vanilla). If there is a sour plastic smell after opening the cap, then dear~~ it is an imitation!
6. The cross section of the lipstick should not have any curvature (you can observe it from the side of the lipstick, if I found that the bevel has a curvature, so congratulations! I got a replica!)
For example:
7. After the appearance is identified, apply lipstick on your lips. The reason why M.A.C.'s lipsticks are so popular is because their lipsticks are very pigmented. If you feel like you can't get the color pigmented well even after applying it several times, congratulations! You've received one that looks very much like the original one - -Imitation!
Picture of authentic and fake Mac lipstick
Let’s start with the appearance. Just a personal opinion
Personally, I feel that the real thing is not pure black when illuminated by a desk lamp. After all, the workmanship of the fakes can't keep up, and no matter how you look at them, they are pure black. This may be different from other identification methods on the Internet. But don't worry, keep watching the feel.
The outer shell of the genuine product feels delicate, while the fake product feels rough and dry.
Then scratch the MAC logo with your fingernails. The real one has a strong concave and convex feel, while the fake one is dull.
Because the genuine ones are engraved, it feels the same as the authentic and counterfeit banknotes 2333
And then! There is another detail in the appearance! I just discovered it after comparing it! I haven’t seen anyone mention this issue on the Internet so far. !You can’t tell if you don’t look carefully!! That’s it!
The bottom of the real case has a curvature, but the bottom of the fake case does not! Anyone who has bought a real Mac lipstick can compare it with mine. Is the article right?
Then after opening the lipstick.
The silver part of the genuine product has a metallic feel and will feel cold, while the fake product feels like plastic!
The MAC logo of the genuine product is lower than that of the fake product. If you buy it on Taobao, it is worth ten million. You have to look at the actual pictures in other people's comments and see the location clearly. Even if there is a slight deviation, you have to be skeptical. Don't think: It's almost okay, it may be a batch problem. It's easy to buy fakes.
The gap in the middle of the genuine M letter is smaller than that of the fake ones. The right half of the genuine M letter has a position for the interface to the left half, and it is not directly separated, as shown in the chess and card picture. That way. The above is the drawing method of the genuine M letter, and the following is the fake drawing style. Please don’t complain! I’m just a soul painter! Just understand the meaning!
Finally! That’s the last thing. The most important identification method! Take a look inside the tube!
There will be a D-shaped hole in the tube of the fake!
Finally, regarding the taste, I actually want to say that this fake The product tastes more creamy and chocolatey, but the real product tastes a bit plasticky.
Summary: The workmanship of fakes is not good, but you can tell the difference if you are careful. Mainly keep it under guard! This is the best way to distinguish between true and false!
