Packaging<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even the smallest mismatch like the font, the color or size of the packaging, or even the weight of the product is a sign of a counterfeit. You can spot a fake even by just holding it in your hand. If the item feels light as a feather, then you can be sure you\u2019re holding a replica in your hands.<\/p>\n

Colour<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fake eye shadows, blushes, lipsticks, and powders are often produced in shades that are not used in authentic products. To avoid buying a fake, visit the manufacturer\u2019s website to see which colors of each makeup product are real.<\/p>\n

Smell and consistency<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Authentic cosmetics shouldn\u2019t have any kind of strange substances or inappropriate sparkles in them, especially when the product is matte. Creamy cosmetics should not separate or contain any impurities. Fake lipsticks typically look less attractive and have some imperfections.\u00a0 If the product has a bad odor or is heavily perfumed, then it\u2019s not authentic.<\/p>\n

Test before buying.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t hesitate to\u00a0try the cosmetic testers in\u00a0the stores. Remember: high-quality eye shadows and blushes should not smear or\u00a0slide off during the day. A\u00a0genuine lipstick should always apply smoothly and evenly, and authentic designer mascara will never crumble.<\/p>\n
