if you have the chance to feel your foundation before you buy it, you’ll notice the texture of a fake one feels creamier and lighter, and if you test against your skin a fake one seems alot less pigmented and tends not to have a buildable coverage. the real one looks alot more orange (i have the palest skin ever! could do with using NC15) and the fake one a little less pink than in the compact but still a huge difference. When applied to the skin, they look like completely different shades. the fake one appears very pink, and the real one…well, real. The shade that i picked up are both apparently NC20. the font is also SLIGHTLY different (if you have an eye for design or typography you’ll notice this alot quicker)

My batch code reads a81, which means that it was the first batch run, made in august of 2011.Īlthough this batch code reads legitimate, it’s printed onto the label instead of being stamped. my last number is 1, which means the year of production was 2011. more recent products purchased in 2011/2012 will still only contain one number for the year. so if your last number is a 3, it was produced in 2003. the number represents the last number of the year of production. the first will be a number, the middle there’ll be a number OR a character, and lastly will be a number.Ī: first batch, B: second batch, C: third batch, etc…ġ: january, 2: february, 3: march, 4: april, 5: may, 6: june, 7: july, 8: august, 9: september, A: october, B: november, C: december they’re three numbers/characters in length. understanding the batch code is really easy. they look very very similar…īut the real compact has the packaging numbers on, and the fake one doesn’t.Īuthentic underside labels have the batch code stamped on them, mine is (A81). Whereas the pan of the fake one sits alot lower from the lip. When they’re both opened, not much looks different right? (haha, pink pyjamas)īut take a close look at the real one and the pan sits very near the lip of the compact. They’re very similar, but looked at from this angle you’ll notice the closure of the compact is different. If you take a closer look at the real packaging, you’ll notice these tiny sparkles.īut here on the fake foundation, the colour is more solid and flat. Notice how easily the fake lettering on packaging rubs off? instant giveaway. the real compact is on the left, and the fake one is on the right.

So i’ve compared the both to let everyone know what to look for when you’re skeptical of the authenticity of a mac foundation. the box was a dead giveaway and the shade the second. So, in the month i was out of my studio fix i had a toot on ebay and came across a legitimate looking foundation, on auction, from a 100% feedback seller, and there was already bids on it! but as soon as it arrived i knew it wasn’t right. i’d run out of this a month ago, and because there isn’t a mac counter in my local debenhams i have to go to selfridges in manchester to stock up! i’m in love with the studio fix powder plus, which shocked me because i’d have thought a powdered foundation would dry my skin out but it’s surprisingly nice to me. I went to manchester at the weekend, and picked myself up a new foundation from mac.

This retails in Ireland for €31.50.This post will focus on a real vs fake mac studio fix plus powder foundation. On the Brown Thomas website, nc20 is the lightest shade so if anyone knows if they do lighter shades in store can you let me know as I bought the bottle I’m currently using from the MAC counter in Liverpool. It definitely holds up on the skin and I found that the oils don’t come through at all so it definitely stays matte all day long. That way I’d be able to see how well it lasts after being on my skin for about 15-16 hours! I got this in the shade nc20 this time and it matches my skin when I have a little bit of tan on. I decided the best way to test this out after buying it was to wear it to college, on one of the days I’m up at 6am. This is by far my favourite foundation of the two. This retails at MAC counters in Ireland for €36.50. It contains SPF 15 which is always an added bonus. The foundation does have a really good coverage and looks beautiful on the skin but by the end of the day, if you have oily skin you will notice it looking very shiny. I decided to do more research and found that the foundation contained oil which is why it practically slid off my face by the end of the day. After trying it for about a week, I thought that the foundation didn’t really last that well on my skin. I wasn’t surprised that I was the lightest shade they had which was nc15. I told the girl working at the counter that I wanted a foundation with good coverage and one that was suitable for oily skin. Apologies for my absence lately! I’ve started my second semester at college and I’ve been trying to get myself organised! I’m back with a post reviewing two of the MAC foundations I’ve been trying recently, Studio Sculpt and Studio Fix Fluid.
