7 things to remember to never buy fake cosmetics

1. Always buy from authorized stores

Buy at genuine stores or agents or reputable shopping centers to always make sure you buy genuine, good quality products. Although the prices at genuine stores are often a bit more expensive than small, retail stores, if you 'watch' for a discount, you will still buy good products at a 'bargain' price. Not to mention, when buying at genuine stores, you will enjoy many promotional programs for customers such as accumulating points to exchange for gifts or receiving free trial products.

2. Carefully examine product packaging when purchasing.

The colors and font sizes on the packaging of counterfeit products are often blurred and incorrect. In particular, the packaging of counterfeit products often has spelling errors. You just need to pay a little attention to easily detect them.

3. Always check the product code and manufacturer information on the box and on the product.

Carefully check the code on the box and on the product to see if they match. In addition, you should also check the information printed on the packaging including ingredients, place of manufacture, production date code. When suspecting that the product may be fake, check it with the information on the manufacturer's official website.

4. Check the color of the product

Counterfeit eyeshadows and lipsticks often differ from the real thing. To avoid buying a fake, check the color and name of each product online first to easily distinguish them.

5. Pay attention to the scent and texture of the product

Real cosmetics will not have a shimmery texture unless it is a highlighter. Creamy products are usually smooth and creamy, while real mascara will have no scent or a pleasant scent, not as strong as fake cosmetics.

6. Note the size and color of the brushes

When buying makeup brushes, check the exact size and color of the brushes. Fake brushes often have hard brush heads and bright colors.

7. Always try the product before buying

Testing the product on the back of your hand is the most effective way to distinguish between real and fake cosmetics. Real cosmetics will blend evenly on the skin, while fake cosmetics often have unrealistic colors and are prone to clumping.
