Hey everyone, I was just wondering if these brushes/pigments are fake.. I'm pretty sure that they are.. But it's a seller on FACEBOOK and they are saying that it's genuine products.. I even messaged them to ask them some questions and they stated that everything is in their original packaging and whatnot.. Then they didn't reply to me afterwards.. Maybe she caught the vibe that I was on to her!!!!!!!!! Lol... I don't want to post the name of the group here.. Anywhoo, just wondering.. Thanks..

The brushes are fake for sure, and I am guessing that the pigments are too. If I were you I wouldn't use the piggies, you don't know what is in them....

I almost bought two of the pigments, but when I looked at it further, I was like 'no way'.. But I wanted to post it here to be sure! Thanks!

Pigments are fake. They have that black sticker underneath, with number only (top picture). Brushes as well, as MAC never made any brush-sets like these.

the top pigments are definitely fake because you can see like codes on the bottoms of them. they would have a name.

Brushes are fake for SURE! MAC has never brought out a brush set like that. I agree that the pigments are most likely fake, too

Unlesss... The seller herself doesn't know they're fake as well. I dunno.. Oh well.. yesss.. Lol.. Fake MAC on facebook.. What has the world come to!? Oh.. And she also has the pigments identified by the numbers at the bottom and they're all sequential.. Like.. A12, A13, A14.. So I was wondering if maybe they took off the original and replaced it with one of their own.. Doesn't make any sense to me, but I'm just trying to give her the benefit of the doubt..

I was telling my mother and showed her the pics and what a real MAC pigment looks like.. And she's like, 'It'd be pretty sad if you bought those.. You're supposed to know things like this.. But it's sad for the people who don't know better..' And it is SAD!.. There are so many people commenting on the pics.. Saying they want this and that!!.. Grr.. If I were that kind of person, I'd cause some trouble.. But I'll just leave it as is.. :\ .. One of the prices of the brush sets works out to $4 of my currency for one brush!! The average price here is $200 for one brish.. Sad.. :\

Update: The person messaged me telling me to check out the new stuff that they put out and to confirm if I'd still wanted two of them.. Cause I had expressed interest in two pigments.. So, I replied telling them that I wanted to know the names of the ones I inquired about as I already had similar colours at home [not true.. I only have two pigments.. Lol] and I just wanted to be sure that I wasn't buying the same thing... They replied telling me to tell them the colours I have and that they will let me know if they are the same.. Lol.. Riiiiighttt.. Like I'm stupid!
