Help-Trying to figure out if my Pigments & E/S are real!

[TIFANI]

Hey Everyone, well i just recieved my order from ebay today, and i felt like a did a pretty good job researching a seller, but when the order arrived i was kind of iffy. I recieved my Deep Purple pigment and compared it with the thread they had up, and it is exactly the same as the fake, I contacted the seller about it, hopefully I am the right one here. So if you all can take a look and tell me what you think, that would be great.

Can you name which colors they are supposed to be swatched on your hand?

 

[TIFANI]

I forgot to name the colors..wow..lol..but strting from the top left would be Deep Purple Pigment, Basic Red, Rose Gold,Accent Red, Deep Blue Green,and Emerald Green.

 

[TIFANI]

OH AND THE SWATCHES I POSTED WERE ACTUALLY TAKEN WITH FLASH, THIS SET WAS TAKEN WITHOUT FLASH.

I am by no means an expert on identifying fake MAC products, but I am NW45 in MAC foundation and I have all of these colors and none of them look like that on my skin. There is no richness to the colors and I don't think the flash or natural light has washed out the colors.

Just my 2 cents.....

 

[jenjunsan]

Sadly, I must agree. I am much more fair, but the colors still look off to me. I don't have basic red, so I can't speak for that one. I am by no means an expert either, but the colors have none of the depth of the authentic ones.

 

[jenjunsan]

I am not great at swatch pictures, but I wanted you to see what the autentic ones look like. I took them in different lights and with/without flash. The deep blue green is showing a little darker than real life, but I thought this might help...click on the pics to make them larger.

Edited to add colors:
Left to right-Deep purple, accent red, deep blue green, emerald green

 

[MACATTAK]

Sorry to say, but everything looks fake. The boxes, labels, colors...everything is just wrong.

I WONDER IF IT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A BASE..IT'S JUST ON MY BARE SKIN..IDK..THE ONLY ONE I BELIEVE TO BE REAL IS THE ROSE GOLD.

 

[jenjunsan]

I tend to agree that if any were real it would be rose gold, but I am still on the fence with that one.

THNX SO MUCH..I WONDER THO. IF THE COLOR WILL SHOW UP DIFFERENT BECAUSE I AM MORE OF A DARKER SKIN TONE..AS OPPSED TO FARE SKIN TONE...I GUESS IF ANYTHING MY PIGMENT COLORS SHOULD OF BEEN DARKER NOT LIGHTER..WELL THNX ANYWAYS.

 

[MACATTAK]

^^ I was on the fence about Rose Gold too, because the box seemed okay. After looking at it again though, that color is off. Plus that huge lettering on the bottom of the pigment isn't right. Were these all purchased from the same seller?

 

[TIFANI]

Even though you are darker....they are still way to white/frosty looking

YEA THAT IS WHAT I FIGURED THAT THEY WERE TO LIGHT, THANKS AGAIN.

 

[TIFANI]

Does Anyone Know Anything About The Eyeshadows.

 

[MACATTAK]

^^ They are all fake too. You can tell by those boxes. Contact the sellers and try to get your money back ASAP!!

 

[Xqueeze_me]

4 out of 6 of the pigments are fake: Basic Red, Deep Blue Green, Deep Purple and Emerald Green.

As for the eyeshadows, they are all fakes. The boxes are dead giveaways.

I do hope you'll get your refund back!!!

 

[MACATTAK]

^^Check out that Accent Red box though

The box for Rose Gold looks okay, but not the pigment itself, the bottom label, and not that swatch (though maybe it has something to do with monitors)???
