Basically I went to ebay to try a sample Mac Studio patch. Understood, I loved it. I ordered a bottle full of mac. Well the mac came, not the same. The color was off, the smell was off and I hated the studio mac fix but loved the sample I got. It is a satin finish, the color is less orange. It’s covered in dew. I am sad because the seller will not tell me which foundation it is because then he would admit that it is indeed a fake. I just want the wrong one. 😂 No point here except that I’m sad. The mac is just drying out and horrible.

could the sample have been mac face and body? it’s a wild guess based on the description you gave, but f&b is satiny/dewy
You could probably ask the seller for a deal on a bunch of samples, but I’d worry about quality control ( or maybe they’re just filling it with some revlon or drugstore brand lol)
How do you know the full size isn’t the fake?
