7 tips that will help you distinguish an original from a fake cosmetics

It is no secret that the popular and expensive cosmetic brands are very often counterfeited. To use questionable means more expensive — in the best case the result will be far from the expected, and at worst a fake is harmful to health.

To protect you from such problems,the Website has collected tips that will help you to choose the quality cosmetics.

Do not buy cosmetics from questionable sellers





As corny as this may sound, the Council should listen to it. Questionable because sometimes the seller might even be a large store. To save yourself from unpleasant surprises, you should visit the official website of the cosmetic brand and check the list of stores where you can buy the desired products.

The sellers of cosmetics often hold sales, but it should be wary if you are offered a product with a very big discount — hardly real mascara or shadow can be sold for 80% cheaper. But the high price, alas, is not always a guarantee that you buy original product. Ask the seller a certificate — if you refuse to show what to buy is clearly not worth it.

Look at the packaging design





Rough fake immediately catches the eye. But there is also a lot of clever fakes, which can be difficult to distinguish even the connoisseur. So before to buy expensive cosmetics, then visit the manufacturer's website and carefully read, as it really should look like you are interested in the tool.

Fake cosmetics can give details such as the slope and the size of the font, shade package, clearly printed text, the size of the packaging and even the weight. Of course, weigh a lipstick or blush in the store will not work, but if the tool seem to be too easy for claimed on the package weight, it is an occasion to reflect on its quality.

Check the barcode, batch number and information from the manufacturer





The counterfeit bar code may not match specified on the package by the producing country (for information on how to check the bar code, read here), and the batch number are often non-existent. Please note — the same batch number should be on the packaging and on the tool. In addition, the original details specified composition, and often has instructions in several languages. If the information on the packaging is extremely poor, then before you fake.

Find out what shades there are actually





Manufacturers of fake cosmetics like inventing a new color and assign them false names and numbers. What shades have with your chosen medium and what they look like in reality, it is easy to figure out on the official website of the cosmetic brand.

Rate the texture and smell of cosmetics





In the original cosmetics are not supposed to be any suspicious patches of sequin and inappropriate — especially if the tool is declared as opaque. At the bottom of the fluid media must not be precipitate, creamy cosmetics should not delaminate and contain impurities. Counterfeit lipstick can be distinguished by the presence of cracks, joints and condensation and have fake carcase, except an unpleasant smell and strange texture can also be very different brush.

Please note brushes and sponges for applying cosmetics





Even if the packaging and appearance of the cosmetics very similar to the original, the fake will surely give you brushes, sponges and brushes. They may vary in size, shape and color, and the quality of the cloth they, too, will be different.

Test the application and durability





Ask the tester to practice to verify funds. For example, high-quality shadow and blush must not slide or smeared, the lipstick needs to go smoothly and not spread, and the original mascara is not going to be a terrible way to glue the lashes or flake off.
