9 Must-Have MAC Lipglasses
9 Must-Have MAC Lipglasses
About the Temptalia Must-Haves Series
A series of posts showcasing must-have products from MAC Cosmetics’ permanent line of products. Selections are based on quality, universality, uniqueness amongst the line, and the like. Limited edition shades are deliberately excluded to make buying easier. Readers’ comments act as a supplement to these lists of their favorites and must-haves. You can find the entire series here.
Oyster Girl lipglass is a gorgeous, sheer pearly pink lipglass. It’s really the way the shimmer gives off a lot of pearl sheen that makes this gloss a must-have. It layers well over both light and dark lipglasses.
C-Thru lipglass is an absolute must if you love a glossy, beige-to-nude lip. It’s a creamy concoction of light, pale beige.
Underage lipglass is similar to C-Thru lipglass, only it’s a sheer, soft pink with just a touch of shimmer. If you want a little more of a fleshy, pink nude lip, opt for this!
Cultured lipglass is a semi-sheer pink with purplish tones with shimmer that reflects both pink and almost a frosty silver.
Nymphette lipglass is a shimmery, lightly pink toned gloss with golden reflection in it. It’s incredibly flattering on lips alone, or layered with a lipstick.

Russian Red lipglass is a bright, creamy red. It’s really the lipgloss equal of MAC’s Russian Red lipstick.
Lychee Luxe lipglass is a coral-orange shimmery shade of gloss. It’s one of the few coral glosses MAC has, and it is definitely a reliable old favorite.
Desire lipglass is a deep, creamy reddish-burgundy shade. It’s on the vampy side, which makes it an excellent gloss for pairing with a deep lipstick or adding more depth to a sheer, lighter lipstick.
Pink Poodle lipglass is a shimmery confection of bright pink. It’s fairly sheer, so don’t worry about it being too bright on your lips. It’s a great pink, and it is one of my favorite ways to brighten up a sheer, lustre finish lipstick.
What are your favorite lipglasses?
Mac Wonder Lip Gloss is yet another exciting product that this famous company has come out with and will be sure to excite all MAC cosmetic fans.
I'm obsessed with C-thru. I've been using it for about 10 years!
My fav lipglass is Prrr i never hear anyone else rave about it bt i love it is the perfect nudy pink
love child
I think that Enchantress should of made the cut! To me its a remarkable color and I love it!!
Glad you liked it!
i really like the viva glam vi lipglass!!!
I love Magnetique from RR. Is it LE?
Yep, LE!
I recently bought Underaged and C-Thru and I love them over lipsticks like Creme Cup, Angel, N3 or just pure on naked lips. My first gloss was Prrr and I think this is an easy every day color.
Awesome! Prrr is definitely a perfect, everyday kind of color!
I LOVE Nymphette it was the first MAC product I ever bought and it got me hooked!I used it up a while ago and havent replaced it yet so after reading this Im thinking of going to get it again!
Nymphette is amazinggg!
Christine, I'm not a huge fan of the lipglasses (one of my least favorite MAC product). I prefer the lusterglass (one with the brush) and plushglass. My one and only favorite lipglass is Malibu Barbie from Barbie Loves MAC. I dread the day when I can't get anymore form that tube! Uggh I'm so not liking the fact that my favorites are LE!
eBay, girl, eBay. Find a seller with tons of stars & a good rep, it's worth it. This is how I got Lavender Whip after it was sold out. It won't be cheap, but if you need it, it's there.
Is Malibu Barbie like Pink Poodle a bit? I think so, but I'm 100%. I'd have to revisit my swatches for Malibu Barbie!
I'm a dark smokey eye kinda girl so I adore C-Thru with Creme d'Nude or Myth (plus lip liner)! <3
Gorg :)
pink grapefruit!!!
Wish it wasn't LE!
I love red romp, cult of cherry, prrr and tartlette.
I loveddd Red Romp!
my fave from the perm line is viva glam V. my fave LE lipglass is Jampacked from Cult of Cherry.
I love all of the VGs!
I love Pink Grapefruit l/g, too bad it's discontinued! Then Nice Buzz plushglass for a nude lip.
Yeah, it's a LE shade, but they rerelease it often enough :)
Oyster Girl and Nymphette have never worked for me, looks like clear gloss :S But I totally agree with the posts about viva Glam... VG V is my daily go-to gloss, always have one trotting around with me!
Aww! I love them for their shimmer, they are both quite sheer!
I've heard a lot about C-Thru and Underage lipglasses!! My favorite from the LE is Peroxide! It's an awesome white pink lipglass that can be layered over any lipstick or lipglass.
Aww, Peroxide is cute, but it never shows up on me :(
my faves are Mad Cap, Oyster Girl, C-Thru and Prrr and Lovechild (from the perm line) and other favourites from the LE are Pink Grapefruit, Liqueur, Bada Boom and Expensive.
Very pretty picks, Theresa!
Oyster Girl, Nymphette and Underage are 3 of my favorites! Oyster Girl for 3 years now. Absolutely love them :)
I adore those three, too!!
C-Thru is my favorite non limited edition lipglass! C-Thru over 4N from N Collection is the perfect everyday nude for me.
Sounds gorgeous, Miss K!
Definitely Nymphette and Viva Glam VI. From the Plushglass line, I love Oversexed.
I must admit, Plushglass doesn't do anything for me!
Thanks ! I will keep this in mind when I get my first Mac lipglass ;)
Love pink poodle and lychee luxe! I can't believe there are still colors on this list that I don't have!
Same here!
thanx for the lipglass list christine, do u think u can do a must have list of macs lustreglasses?
I will be!
Where's Pop Mode? It's like the night equivilent of Nymphette! Lustreglasses have always been my fave though so I can't wait to see what pops up on that list!
There were so many I wanted to put on the list, but it's not very "must have" if you put all of them, y'know? I love all of the perm lipglasses!
I've been resisting getting any of the MAC lipglasses so far... but it sounds like everyone adores Lychee Luxe... so I'm gonna have to check it out. =)
Uh oh, once you start... you can't stop!
Fulfilled is my HG gloss from MAC
That's a plushglass, yeah?
My favorite out of that list is definitely Nymphette. Along with Nymphette, Viva Glam lipglasses are also my favorites!
