That batch number actually DOES exist - I bought all 7 pigments direct from Rushmetal collection and my Rushmetal pigment had that same batch number.

I have to say I'd agree that the Rushmetal and Tan are also fake - but not for the more obvious reasons. I'd like to see them in hand, then I'd know for sure, some of these fakes are so bloody good - remember the Deep Blue Green fiasco??

Do those little numbers on the bottom mean its fake?

Thanks for the help all of you!
It's really a big shame that there are so many fake pigments for sale.

Thank you so much for this advice, you lovely person!

My friend telephoned MAC yesterday morning and told them about being sold the pigments without the insert and MAC sent her the exact same pigments and two brand new ones out free of charge and she got to keep her current ones. Her new ones arrived this morning! That's good customer service and my friend is over the moon so thank you so much
