Shimpagne MSF Real or Fake?

[a7xforlife]

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish - SHIMPAGNE Very RARE New - (eBay item 310009629665 end time Dec-27-07 17:51:43 PST)

Just curious as to if this was the real deal or a fake?

It "appears" to be real packaging but I'm just not sure.

TIA for the help!

To me it looks right. If I'm not mistaken I've heard, MSFs would cost a lot of time and money to counterfeit and bake....

I would take it to be real.

I will have to keep my eye on this one then.

I agree. It looks fine to me.

What seems worrying from the photo is that you cannot see any veining in the skinfinish. Shimpagne has subtle beige and slightly gold veining. The packaging looks alright though.

Granted its hard to see the veining. But the Light Flush I bought from the MAC counter was supposed to have veining too--and had hardly any.

The same seller has Porcelain Pink listed, with what appears to me to be the same photo.

The seller also has previous bad feedback for having a different picture compared to the description.

I'd avoid totally personally. Not worth the hassle.

MSFs are really hard to counterfeit since it takes quite some time to counterfeit since it has to be baked and so forth.

In regards to the picture, it's definitely not Shimpagne though since I can see two words on the sticker on the box that indicates the shade of the MSF. Perhaps it's Porcelain Pink possibly?

Just message the seller and asks questions to be on the safe side.

Looks safe to me, its hard to see the photo though...and like said above it's really hard to copy this product. If your still worried i would mail the seller asking for a close up photo to make sure.

I've recently become addicted to MSFs and other than getting them here ebay is my only other option. What are some flags that I need to look for that would tell me an MSF is fake?? I know you all said that it is hard to counterfeit MSFs b/c they are baked but it seems these counterfeit people are getting better and better so I'm a little paranoid....

MSFs have not been faked... YET so I guess its safe to buy now. Not sure about the MES because I've seen one or two dodgy ones.
