La Mer lipstick real and fake comparison to see the state after heating

La Mer is a skin care brand that comes from romantic France and is loved by many people. So what is the comparison between real and fake La Mer lipsticks?

La Mer lipstick real and fake comparison

Packaging Box

Compared with some ordinary skin care brands, La Mer's positioning is relatively high-end, so you can tell whether the La Mer lipstick is genuine by looking at the box of the lipstick. The texture of the box of authentic La Mer lipstick is a very fine grid, and it feels slightly bumpy to the touch. The fake La Mer lipstick box does not have a grid-like structure, feels almost flat to the touch, and is more easily deformed.

After heating

The states of genuine La Mer lipstick and fake La Mer lipstick after heating are also different. The genuine La Mer lipstick is completely emulsified and becomes oily after heating, without any impurities or animal oil. Fake La Mer lipstick is made of cheap chemical raw materials, and the synthesis technique is not as good as the genuine La Mer lipstick. Therefore, after being fully heated, the lipstick will appear turbid, discolored, and smelly. The way to heat La Mer lipstick is to scoop out the lipstick and place it in a stainless steel pot to heat it.

Feeling after use

The feeling after using the real La Mer lipstick and the fake La Mer lipstick is absolutely different. The authentic La Mer lipstick is very moisturizing and long-lasting after use, and because it contains menthol PCA ester, it feels cool and sweet on the lips. As long as you are not allergic to fragrances, you will not be allergic to genuine La Mer lipstick. Fake La Mer lipstick is manufactured in illegal and unscrupulous processing plants. Although the texture and scent are up to 95% similar to the authentic La Mer lipstick, it is cheap to make and will most likely cause allergies after use. Allergy symptoms include redness and itching of the lips, and in severe cases even cheilitis.

Glossy lip balm jar

The glossiness of the lipstick jars of authentic La Mer lipstick and counterfeit La Mer lipstick are comparable. The lid of the lipstick jar of the authentic La Mer lipstick can be used as a mirror and has a pleasant glossiness. The glossiness of fake La Mer lipstick is not as good as the authentic one. This can only be seen by comparing it with the authentic La Mer lipstick.

Fluorescence reaction

The authenticity of La Mer lipstick can be distinguished by using fluorescent light. This is because fakes need to reduce production costs, so there will usually be more fluorescent agent left on the packaging box. So, when we use fluorescent light to test fluorescent agents, the fake La Mer lipstick box will react obviously and emit blue light. The paper box of genuine La Mer lipstick will not have any fluorescent reaction. This is easy to distinguish, but those who love beauty should buy fluorescent lamps in advance to prepare for distinguishing whether La Mer lipstick is real or fake (the picture is a schematic diagram).
