Hi,

I'm from Europe specially from Czech Republic. I' d like to buy more products from MAC but there is just one original shop in capital town. So I must buy a lot of products on the internet.....and this is a problem, because many people sell a counterfeits.

Could you give me some advice, how simply detected them?

Thanks a lot.....S.

Most M.a.c brushes do not come in a set you have to buy them individually unless they come directly from a M.a.c store or counter they are most likely fake here is a video to help

Thanks a lot for your links. I´ve founded a set of 24 MAC brushes on ebay (costs 70 dolars...) I think that there are counterfeits.

This company IS legit and they sell MAC to Czech Republic.

I resell makeup on eBay for a living. 99.9% of the MAC for sale online (the internets as a whole not just ebay) is fake. If you are looking for a discount, The Cosmetic Company Stores, owned by Estee Lauder, inc. sell MAC at 20% off.

Of course, that's not really going to help you in the Czech. In my experience, if it is more than 20% off or coming to you directly from China, it is a fake.  xoxo
