Have you tried to purchase lipsticks, and anytime you do, it turns out to be fake? How do you feel?  Irritated, right?

The market is flooded with so many fake lipstick products, and sometimes you may find yourself losing money to these fake products.

Now, how do you spot faked lipstick?

Initially, pay special attention to the packing. Genuine lipsticks will arrive in high-end packaging that is flawless, professional-looking, and of the finest calibre. False lipsticks, on the other hand, could be packaged in poor quality, flimsy, or cheaply made packaging. The brand name and symbol on the packaging of genuine lipstick should be clear and visible, unlike a fake lipstick's blurry or misspelt brand name and logo.

 

Know How Genuine Lipstick Looks Like

Examining the lipstick can also help you determine whether it is fake. False lipsticks may be waxy or dry, while actual lipsticks will have a smooth, creamy texture. Genuine lipsticks will also be uniform and devoid of impurities and clumps, whereas counterfeit lipsticks could be uneven in colour or include impurities.

Pay attention to the cost as well. While real lipsticks can vary, they are often more expensive than their counterfeit counterparts. Lipstick is likely fake if offered for much less than its retail cost.


It's important to note that some genuine brands run sales and discounts. Check the pricing on their official website or store before making a purchase.

Examining the batch code or serial number on a lipstick's package is another approach to confirming its legitimacy. Most real lipsticks will carry a batch code or serial number to confirm the product's legitimacy. You can visit the company's website or contact its customer service division.

Beware Of Unauthorized Online Retailers

Additionally, make sure you buy your lipsticks from reliable retailers. 

Genuine lipstick is through licensed retailers, including department stores, beauty supply stores, and brand-approved online merchants. 

Avoid buying lipstick from unauthorized online retailers or street vendors, as these are more likely to sell counterfeit goods.



Even though it can be difficult to spot a fake lipstick, you can increase your chances by paying attention to the packaging, examining the product, examining the pricing, verifying the batch code or serial number, and purchasing from reputable merchants. Exercise caution while purchasing lipstick, especially if the quoted price is significantly lower than the actual cost.

Check The Price

Always check the price at the official website or store before making a purchase, and make sure it comes from a reliable source. Always watchfully since even the most discerning buyer can become a victim of fake goods.
