Buying MAC Makeup? Here’s How To Avoid Getting Scammed by Neil Maxwell Keys
In this article I am going to unveil how to quickly spot genuine Mac Makeup Uk only products from fakes and save yourself a lot of time, money and hassle in the process.
When looking to buy Mac Makeup Products online this is a matter that concerns me a lot especially when I talk to some of my friends here in UK.
Often I’ll get an email or a call from a friend or reader who tells me that they’ve found this “really great deal on MAC Makeup products” (usually pigments, eye shadow or brushes).
Most of the time I’ll go to the website they tell me about (which is almost always eBay) and I will spot straight away that it’s either a fake, or the offer isn’t quite what they think it is…
Take this recent example. A friend of mine called me up all thrilled and said, “Listen, I’ve found this great deal on eBay where you get 35 pigments for £15,… etc, etc”.
Well, guess what? I took one look at the link she sent me and knew right away that she hadn’t read it correctly. On a site like eBay, to begin with whenever you see an offer like this you can pretty much be sure that it’s not the correct sized item you’re going to be receiving.
What you’re really going to receive will be approximately a quarter of a teaspoon worth, sent in a tiny little plastic container, that’s why you need to read ALL of the details – especially the small print.
Nobody, but nobody can sell 55 full-sized genuine MAC pigments for £25, specially in the UK!
If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is! – Always consider that old classic rule.
To stay clear of buying MAC cosmetics from a site like eBay is what I tell my friends and readers because one of the other important reasons is you cannot guarantee that it’s the genuine product you’re going to be getting.
It is true; there are a lot of people out there selling fake MAC Makeup products; particularly to people in the UK because as we know, pretty well everything in the UK is more pricey and sellers will try to take advantage of that. From whom you buy from, you should be careful.
I want to give you a few of my tips for staying safe online and what you should watch out for if you’re adamant that you’re going to buy MAC Makeup on eBay:
1. There is a free tool with the product.
If you come across anybody selling MAC Makeup such as eye shadow or sets and they’re giving away a free tool with every product for example a Sponge Tip Applicator, then STAY CLEAR! The product is almost certainly a fake. No genuine MAC products ever come with a free tool such as a sponge tip applicator.
2. The product has a number instead of a name.
If any of the products they are selling, for example eye shadow or pigments have a NUMBER instead of an actual product name, then it’s not real.
For example, I use a MAC eye shadow called Swiss Chocolate but if I saw a seller advertising a “MAC” product as a number (such as “A59″ or whatever) then I would know that it was indeed a fake. Some products such as pigments do have a number, but they also have a specific name and all genuine MAC resellers would know to only ever use the product name when advertising.
3. Brush Sets.
Fake MAC brushes are another common product people often get caught out with. Occasionally they might sell promo sets during the Christmas holidays, but these are always smaller versions of a particular product and not the regular full-sized product. If you ever see a seller selling a “MAC Brush Set” then it’s a phoney because MAC does not sell “Brush Sets”.
4. Check the sellers feedback.
It should go without saying that you should read ALL of the seller’s feedback before you make a purchase. Stay clear if they have little to no feedback. Don’t be the first person to find out the hard-way!
5. You must read the small-print.
For you to make certain that you’re not just getting tiny little tester pots that will hardly cover enough for one application always read every last detail on the sellers page.
Here are the three most common MAC products that often get copied:
1) Eye shadow
2) Pigments
3) Brushes
Go to maccosmetics.co.uk and check to see if you can find that particular product listed on their website. That’s the probably the easiest way to make sure that you never get taken advantage of. It’s a fake if it is not there. That’s pretty clear!
In general, just be careful because I would hate for you to get ripped off.
Keep in mind, buying MAC Makeup UK products from anyone other than a genuine reseller can not only be harmful to your wallet but even worse, detrimental to your skin!
