Look using Mary Kay Products







The above 2 pictures is a look using Mary Kay Products.  I have used three different colors of eyeshadows, a light grey for the lid, darker brown for the crease and a white/creme as the highlight.  For eyeliner I used, MAC black track gel liner, lashes I used MAC zoom lash mascara in black and a for the water line I used MAC smolder eye kohl.

The third picture are swatches of Mary Kay Products as well, the first two are blushes and the last one on the right is Mary Kay lipstick in "Toffee".  I have no base under these swatches, so as you can see that they are very pigmented as well the lipstick is creamy and moisturizing.

Real and Fake Mac eyekohl





I will be talking about "real" and "fake" MAC eye kohl pencils.  As you can see above I have posted some pictures of the "real" and "fake" eye kohl pencils, the one on the left is the real and the one on the right is the fake (duplicate).

Real Mac eye kohl

- Sharp print
- Comes with a box
- Has "smolder" written in print
- Has a black cap on the pencil
- MAC is written at the end of the pencil

Fake MAC eye kohl

- Dull print
- Comes with no box
- Doesn't say "smolder" on it
- Comes with a silver cap
- MAC is written in the middle of the pencil
- Under MAC it says "eye/lip" pencil (MAC doesn't make any eye/lip pencils)
- Also says Aloe Vera & Vitamin E (real doesn't have that)

So as you can see, the differences in the MAC eye kohl pencils, and which one is authentic and which is not.  The first hint that is easy to know whether it is real or fake, is that MAC cosmetics does not make any "eye/lip pencils". Though the "fake" ones are not bad at all, but because its used in the eye it is risky to use because you don't know which source it is coming from.  But all eye pencils are made from the same ingredients.

I hope this bit of information is helpful for those of you who don't know much about "real" and "fake" MAC.
