MAC Anthurium Pro Longwear Lipglass ($22.00 for 0.06 fl. oz.) is described as a “clean bright red.” It’s a vibrant, neutral-to-warm-toned, cherry red with a glossy, creamy finish. Illamasqua Touch (P, $22.00) has shimmer. Milani Red My Lips (12) (P, $5.49) is very similar. Maybelline Signature Scarlet (020) (P, $8.99) is a touch warmer. MAC RiRi Woo (LE, $15.00) is darker, cooler-toned. Revlon Fire (P, $7.49) is warmer. MAC Driven by Love (P, $19.50) is shimmery. MAC Russian Red (P, $15.00) is darker. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

The Pro Longwear Lipglass formula is supposed to wear for six hours with a shiny finish and rich color. The consistency is quite thick, almost goopy at times, but it wears for awhile–six hours in this case. The texture is about as sticky as Lipglass, but it gets even stickier after a few hours of wear. It’s an easy gloss to catch on your teeth, so beware. This shade applied beautifully with rich, opaque color coverage that didn’t sink into lip lines or bleed/feather outside the natural lip. The formula was neither drying nor hydrating over time. It has a vanilla scent (same as the rest of MAC’s glosses) and no discernible taste. As a heads up, note that this formula contains 0.06 fl. oz., which is significantly less than most glosses.

This looks gorgeous! I love how ridiculously shiny it is! But it’s just a shame that MAC didn’t try and do anything really special with this collection – I think they could have done so much more, and made it a lot more theatrical, but still wearable.

It’s not the kind of lip gloss color I’d wear, but I do like how glossy it is. I’d probably have red on my teeth and pretty much everything I come near in a matter of seconds though…

I just LOVE how this looks! I def see MUAs reaching for this for photoshoots since it looks gorgeous!
I don’t see myself wearing this because I’m not the most careful person so it would ger everywhere lol… and somehow my hair aaaalways gets it’s way to my lips so I very rarely wear gloss. The lipstick is something I’d pick up if it hits stores in my country though!

Beautiful color, but I’m definitely staying away from this! I’ve had bad experiences where the wind blows my hair onto my lips and then ends up sweeping lip gloss colors onto the rest of my face.
