Where Make Up For Ever stamps its code: outer box base crimp + flacon base
Embossed (uninked) on the outer box base crimp and laser-etched or printed on the flacon base.
- Read the code off the box base crimp in raking light — authentic embossing has uniform depth.
- Read the flacon base or label code and enter it above — the two must match character for character.
- Check for scraped, re-embossed or stickered-over crimps: a classic way to hide aged gray-market stock.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I decode a Make Up For Ever batch code?
Make Up For Ever is part of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton and uses the LVMH Pattern: [Year digit][Month letter A–M, skipping I][Plant 2 digits]. Worked example: 4C01 reads as 4 = 2024, C = March, 01 = Production line 01 — produced March 2024. High — widely documented 4-character LVMH Parfums & Cosmétiques format. A correctly formatted code is necessary but never sufficient proof of authenticity, because counterfeiters copy real codes.
Where is the batch code stamped on a Make Up For Ever box and bottle?
Embossed (uninked) on the outer box base crimp and laser-etched or printed on the flacon base. Look on the outer box base crimp and the flacon base. The code on the box and the code on the flacon must match character for character; a scraped, re-embossed or stickered-over box crimp is a classic sign of aged gray-market stock.
How long does Make Up For Ever last and where can I buy fresh-batch authentic products in Singapore?
Unopened, Make Up For Ever skincare is a fresh batch for 24 months from production and should be used within about 36 months, as vitamin C, retinoids and peptides degrade with time. In Singapore, buy from Make Up For Ever authorised counters and the brand's official online store, and check that the decoded production date is recent before you pay.
