Would you be able to provide a picture of the bottom of the pigments? Pigments that have no names are usually fakes/counterfeit.

There weren't any names on them? Yikes. You bought them at MAC? My mind jumps to the idea they are fakes esp. if you have no label on the bottom.

Really if they are fakes, we can tell you what we think they were trying to be, but the name may not be right b/c they are fake and many fakes look "off".

IE Green brown that looks gold, not even greenish.
Deep Blue Green that sure as hell is NOT Deep ANYTHING.

Be careful, I'd be worried using anything fake around my eyes, like what the heck are they making them from??

I tend to think the same thing - if they arrived without labels then they are likely to be fake......

They really look fake to me as well.. :/ The bases of the jar are really thick too.

Well, first off where did you get them?

MACATTAK · 03-14-2008, 10:10 PM #10 (**permalink**)

Yes, those are definitely fakes. Like the above asked, where did you buy these?

Yes they are fakies. I compared one of these jars to a jar that I bought while traveling in TX. I noticed a few differences [or atleast what I think are differences.] I bought these 8 pigments in a MAC store in Atlanta, GA. They will be going back asap when I can find the time to make a trip up there.

You got these right at MAC?? Or was it a CCO? Either way, i would bring them back ASAP! I always see fake MAC pigment on eBay (even got 2 but got a refund!) but never heard of anyone finding them in a store! I just always thought people ordered the fakes from Asia or something or got them from private fake suppliers!!!

Let us know what happens!!!

Did you receive these without boxes?

MACATTAK · 03-14-2008, 10:36 PM #14 (**permalink**)

You bought those at a MAC store? That's scary! I've only seen these types on Ebay...wow!!
