Mac Lip Glasses

[onthisnight]

I'm new here and I havent bought makeup in a while and went on a huge mac shopping spree and bought a ton of stuff like, pigments, shadows, strobe liquid, brushes, a palette, fix +, concealer, paint pot.. anyways, I didnt try their lipglasses yet so my question is:

What do you guys think of them?

and also, what color would you recommend me to get?
I don't use mac foundation but I do use their concealer. I'm a NW20 if that helps. I also have dark brown hair if that makes a difference.

i've heard alot about "underage" but i don't know if it's gonna be too pale for me. I usually only wear clear lip gloss, so i don't want anything too 'colorful' i guess.

anyways, thanks in advance guys!

A lot of people don't like their texture, but a lot of people love lipglasses too. I definitely love them!

My favourites are Florabundance, Prrr, C-Thru (which tends to suit any skin tone), Pink Lemonade and Underage. All light pink colours

Well welcome to Specktra! Glad you've found the joys of MAC, sure you will be hooked in no time.

I really like the MAC lipglasses, they come in so many beautiful shades but the colours are really sheer so you can apply one coat for a subtle look or build up coats for a really dazzlingly bright look. The lipglasses I find are a litte sticky but this means they manage to be quite long wearing. Plus they look good on their own and over lipstick too. The tinted lipglasses also have jojoba oil to soften/condition the lips. So beneficial aswell!

For me I can wear most of the shades of the lipglass, maybe the browns and dark reds not so much but being fair the pinks and nudes are really pretty. I'm NC15 so lighter than you! The lighter colours I find look good when you are wearing a darker eye. Underage is a really nice nude colour, same for Love Nectar. Perfectly Pink is also really nice, same for Cultureclash from the new Electroflash collection, along with Prr, Florabundance, Nymphette - they have slightly more colour but still look natural. I used to only go for the soft colours too but now I simply love everything outrageous, especially hot pink and red.

You might even like to try a Lipgelee or Tinted Lip Conditioner or Tendertone. Less sticky and with the same sheer colour, perhaps more natural looking than a gloss too if you like to keep it simple. Personally I like to go between the natural, fresh look and the obviously made up look!

thank you so much! you were a great help. All the colors you mentioned are exactly what im looking for. I think ill go to Mac later today and try some on.
Its good to know that you are lighter than me but they still look nice! I was always worried that those woudlnt look good because i am pale.

i love the texture of lipglasses ...some say theyre to sticky but i dont think they are....the lasting power is great
im NW20 too
Underage is pale but lovely
another one of my faves is Prrr it looks great

I have so many and I do love them but rarely wear them. lol I don't know why. I guess its b/c I use them for special occasions. They are however, great for everyday wear and they come in variety of colors. Just don't go overboard buying them in bulk b/c they will end up expiring and usually the stench is the first thing you will notice. lol

Thanks for all the help guys!

I ended up buying "Viva Glam V" because all the other ones were too light for me. It didn't suit me at all. I asked the girl that worked there which one she recommended for me and she said that one and i love it.

I don't find them too sticky, and they really stay on for a long time! I wore it to bed last night to see how long it stays on, and i woke up and i had still a bit on. It's great!

thank you again

I will check out Prr and Nymphette! I didn't check them out yet. I juste tried on Underage and noticed that it was way too nude for me.
