Are these fake pans?

[civicbabe627]

I got bottle green from a member on MUA today - and I knew it was fake right off the bat. Thankfully I didn't send my end first, but I spoke with her and she doesn't deal with MAC a lot, so I don't think she knew it was fake. Anyway... I started looking at my other eyeshadows, and I think Fig.1 might be fake.

It says the usual ''makeup artist cosmetics'' and then it says ''made in Italy'' - and my others say ''made in Canada'' - is this possible? Also, the font is different and the batch number is imprinted, not printed, on the eyeshadow.

Any advice?

what is the batch code on the Fig 1? I can't see it in your pictures.

They look fine to me *shrugs*

M.A.C. is manufactured in many different countries, or that's what I thought. Some of my stuff that's from the stores and counters is from China, Canada, Italy, and it's the same item.

The batch code on Fig 1 looks like A47 which is reasonable. They all look genuine to me.

Refills have yet to be counterfeited - so they're all good

The Bio Green doesn't have a batch number because it's a Pro only colour. Only regular eyeshadows have the batch codes.

Oooh! No wonder! Well that's good news then.

Thanks so much for your help girls!
