Fake MAC Carbon?

[RedRibbon]

Hey everyone,

Can you please tell me if this MAC shadow is fake or not..

It's on ebay and the pics aren't good but this is all the seller has:

Thank you!

minisprite says http://community.livejournal.com/uk_makeup/6330.html that: ''The fill weight of 1.3g only ever seems to occur on a genuine shadow. 1.5g and 1.3g fill weights are found in genuine products, however the fakes tend to be marked as 1.5g. So while a 1.5g weight alone does not indicate a fake, if your shadow looks dodgy anyway, a 1.5g might be a further sign of counterfeiting.''
I'm not that good at detecting fakes

My pro pan mac carbon says 1.5g and i purchased it in store.

My Carbon says 1.5g as well, and I bought mine at a MAC store. It looks real enough to me, but my only concern is that I do not see a batch code on the back of the shadow packaging. It should have an imprint somewhere on the label that gives a letter and two numbers or two letters and a number. It could just be a bad picture (since a batch code is a little hard to see in real life) though. The packaging, fonts and their sizes all look correct to me though.

if you can, ask he seller for the batch code (and a photo showing it).

Mattes tend to be 1.5g so that's not a reliable indicator.

From the second shot: There's an issue with the logo. This one maybe counterfeit.
