6 Must-Have MAC Lustreglasses
6 Must-Have MAC Lustreglasses
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.
Luminary lustreglass is a sheer, opalescent gloss with flecks of purple and pink shimmer. It’s one of my favorite glosses to wear alone or to change up a lipstick that’s starting to get boring.
Spring Bean lustreglass is a sheer, gold-green gloss that can really alter the way your lipstick looks when you layer it on top.
Venetian lustreglass is a semi-sheer pop of dark pink with a little reddish cast to it. It’s actually an awesome way to start wearing bolder lip colors without committing full-on.

Love Nectar lustreglass is a sheer, muted peachy-pink with pretty gold shimmer and a nice, natural look.
Instant Gold lustreglass is the perfect way to instantly add warmth to any lipstick without being too warm. It’s a sheer, beigey-brown color with soft, gold shimmer.
Little VI lustreglass is a sheer, purple shimmer gloss. Since it’s sheer, the color won’t be hard to wear, and it’s a nice way to add cool tones to lipsticks, too.
Yup! My absolute fav. is love nectar!! I use it almost every day and my fav. lippie combo is Creme d’nude and love nectar layered over it! HG Lip gloss!
Creme d’nude & love nectar…I wear that same combo 🙂 With some stripdown lip liner
Love Nectar is amazing!
I have 3 of your listed glosses this time around: Luminary, Love Nectar & Little VI and I LOVE them all. They really are the most wearable shades for any skintone in my opinion. I have always seen Spring Bean at MAC & been intrigued but shy away cause it’s green. Maybe one day I should give it a whirl. I do like the sound though of Instant Gold as there are many times I just want to add a little warmth to whatever lippie I am wearing. This one may have to be my next lustre purchase.
Very nice!! Luminary is one of my all time favorite glosses!
Unbelievably I don’t own any of these – I almost bought one that came out with Naughty Nauticals.
Love Knot, maybe?
I love Love Nectar, it’s such a beautiful subtle apricot shade that suits a lot of skintones. You can’t really go wrong with this one 🙂
Agreed!
Can’t believe you didn’t add Flusterose! It’s such a gorgeous, pigmented pink shade!
Aw, I love a lot of MAC’s permanent lipglasses/lustreglasses, but I can’t put ’em all on the list 😛
I usually wear Luminary on top of Myth lipstick…it gives you a great nude lip!
Ohh, great idea, Natalie!
Love Nectar is soooooooo pretty!! HG material! 🙂
So true 😀
I fall in love with love nectar every time I wear it. I’ve never had a gloss like that before.
Also Flashmode is a great for a sheer hot pink! I love it with a light pink liner and it just pops.
Lustreglasses really are my favorite formula of glass from MAC. I love everything about them.
Aww 😉 So sweet!
Love Nectar is the BEST. I love Flashmode as well.
I like Flashmode, too!
I am on a real lustreglass kick at the moment. LOL. I am planning on getting Luminary, I tried it on the other day, SO glad it made your list, that means it is a must have! I loved it, I also tried Flusterose. I don’t know what got into me, but I just had the idea to try on some of the perm. line lippies that day, and surprisingly I want to collect them over the dazzleglasses now. I own Love Nectar, Star Nova, hey Sailor, and just got Spring Bean. Have you tried Star Nova Christine? It’s pretty, a pigmented darker pink.
LOL! You gotta get it. I hope you get it soon, too! 🙂
I have tried Star Nova — it is lovely!
My faves are Love Nectar and Pinkarat. Love Nectar layered over Ravishing is a pretty apricot combo… And Pinkarat really brightens the pink undertones in lippies like Marque.
Wonderstruck. Love Nectar. Star Nova.
Oh and Flusterose. Can’t believe I forgot.
Good choices 🙂
love nectar is gorgeous
I think Love Nectar might just be the most popular lustreglass, LOL!
Love Nectar is my absolute favorite!!!
Sounds like this one is a winner 🙂
loves her Green Bean.. and is very stingy using it!
LOL!
lmao.. I am thinking of lunch!.. not green but spring!
I really need Love Nectar! I have all the lustreglasses from Naughty Nauticals and I have Spring Bean which I love. It’s so amazing and gives the most gorgeous golden sheen.
Yes, you do need it, LOL!
i love love nectar and instant gold.
Instant Gold is pretty for sure!
Love nectar, spring bean and pinkarat
Good picks, Dee!
I love lustreglasses there my fav
What are your faves?
i really like love nectar and ola mango but not sure if its a lustreglass i also have instant gold and wonderstruck but havent used them
I believe Ola Mango was a lipglass 🙂 But it was pretty!
Star Nova, Spring Bean & Palatial are my fave lustreglass
Good ones to fall in love with!
Luminary is my fave. I have them on stock
Same!
What kind of applicator does the Lustreglass have? Is it the same doe-foot as the Lipglass or brush like Dazzleglass? Just curious….
The lustreglass has a brush applicator. The plushglass and lipglass have the doe foot applicators. I hope that helps. Have a good night:) Jennifer ) macface2adore
Brush!
The lustreglasses that I am most in love with are Love Nectar, Spring Bean (my new love) and Instand Gold (thanks for the reminder, I need to get another). I liked this survey:) Jennifer
Good choices, Jennifer 🙂 I just grabbed another Spring Bean myself!
I love Morning Glory , Instant Gold & Spring bean
Pretty picks, Ashlee!
Love spring bean, after it starts to wear off, the gold shimmer is still left on your lips!
It’s also fun to see on my makeup remover wipes the green streak from it when I take off my makeup. xD
I was lucky enough to find this at my CCO for $10. :o)
Nice find, Michelle!
I am going to pick up Spring Bean sooooooon! And I love Love Nectar 🙂
Awesome, Jenna!
I just picked up Venetian today! I saw someone use it in a tutorial & instantly fell in love. I can’t wait to wear it tomorrow. :)I’m always looking for easy ways to wear colour & this definitely fits!
