MAC brush fakes in China

Many customers may realize that almost every makeup brush manufacturer declares that they once made makeup brushes for MAC. In makeup brush industry, everyone know that MAC is somewhat the representation of high quality and high grade, if the makeup brush factory can produce MAC brushes, this factory must be very good and offer high grade makeup brushes.

In fact, the situation is not true in China; I do not know the situation of MAC’s OEM factories in other countries. But in China, it is not always true. We all know that it is impossible for MAC to release their brush production to so many factories, while due to the good fames and popularity of MAC brushes, also to gain more orders, many Chinese makeup brush factories declare that they can and once made brushes for MAC.

They may really make brushes labeled MAC, but not for MAC company. They get orders from trading companies in China or abroad who require MAC logos but at much lower price. At such target price, it is impossible to have brushes with the same quality level as MAC. Therefore, under the permission of customers, they reduce the grade of material and craft. For example, the MAC powder brushes are usually with ZGF top grade goat hair and copper ferrule, to meet the customers’ very low target price, they will use BJF or even HJF goat hair and aluminum ferrule which is much much cheaper, it will greatly reduce the cost on material; also with such material, the craft will not so good either. In fact, the customers have known that they can not get MAC equivalent at such low price, their purpose is to get fakes just labeled MAC.

The result is: in China, the brushes labeled MAC is even worse than unknown brands. Everyone knows that there are too many MAC fakes in China and having no ability to distinguish real and fakes, they have to buy from abroad at much higher price or choose other brands which may be better and cheaper than MAC labeled brushes. As to gain more profit, the suppliers offer MAC fakes at high price which is far away from the quality level.

Of course, it is illegal to label MAC logo without the permission of MAC. Toney, as a responsible and professional makeup brush manufacturer, always require customers to provide the approval documents from MAC on logos, so that we can agree to label MAC logo for our customers.

Anyway, the customers should note that:

1.       Not every factory who declare they can offer MAC brushes is good;

2.       To evaluate a makeup brush factory, you should firstly require samples made by them;

3.       If you buy MAC brushes at very low price, you probably get fakes;

4.       If you want to custom makeup brushes but have very low target price, it is impossible to get MAC equivalents.
