Beware of fake MAC brushes on eBay!

I just got what I thought was a MAC 168. Until I compared it to images of the real one. I had been looking for something like it, and asked the seller if it was a good dupe, and the seller told me that it WAS real and not an imitation. So I got it, looked at it, and then looked at pictures online of the real one. And it's fake :(

Forget about the look. Are they scratchy, do they shed? What about the smell? Do they pick up the color? What about application?

@12quillemall5321 Haven't used it yet. Once I try it, I'll review it. Different vendors on eBay sell different fakes, so one fake may be MUCH better than another.

That sucks he lied! He cold have just said yes it is a good dupe. I hope it still works

@GlitterfulSummer It's possible that he didn't know it was fake. A lot of sellers get great deals on brushes in bulk and don't know that they're selling fakes.

I recently just bought a brush set off ioffer (similar to eBay), I was so stoked I only payed about $20 for 8 brushes. My contour brush looks completely fake! I am so disappointed. Because that was the brush I was most looking forward to! It didn't help that this was my first time buying something off line! Hopefully they do the same job!
