How to spot a fake MAC lipstick

Now days their are so many great replicas of fake products, however if you only want the real deal, then before you buy, do some research! 

1) Fake mac lipsticks are often in a different size container to the real one, as seen as followed, the lipstick on the left is the real and on the right is the fake. The al lipstick is a little bit smaller than the real mac lipstick, unfortunately unless you are buying it in person and have a real mac lipstick with you this is often tricky to tell.
2) If you look at the label underneath the sticker should have slight texture to it and not look as if it has just been printed off. The real mac sticker also shouldn't say Mac on it, however the fake one does.
3) The ring around the opening of the fake mac normally tends to be more shiny than the real one. The real mac ring is a matt finished silver metal look,however on the fake it is quite shiny, not matt. 
4) The fake mac lipstick is printed on to the container and can scratch of easily, however the real mac writing is slightly engraved and it is very hard for it to come off!

Hopefully some of these ways will help you tell if your buying the real mac or not. Here are some extra tips for you.

-Only buy from trusted sellers, such as the mac website, shop or counter.
-The real mac containers are smooth and don't feel horrible when you scratch it with you nail.
-If it's cheaper than £10 it probably isn't real.
-On the boxes of the mac lipsticks it should say 'Back 2 Mac' on the inner tab.

Hope this helped!
