Business Casual

MAC Business Casual Lustreglass Sheer-Shine Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium-dark, rusty copper with warm, red undertones and barley-there golden pearl that gave it a soft, luminous sheen. It had medium, buildable pigmentation–up to semi-opaque coverage–that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips.

The texture was lightweight, thinner but not clingy, and lightly creamy, which helped it comfortably apply. It stayed on well for four hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$22.00/0.1 oz. - $220.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "sheer, buildable colour" that is moisturizing, while also being long-wearing with "six hours" of shine and "eight hours" of color.

First and foremost, these have an unexpectedly long long-wearing claim. Eight hours of wear is a feat for any lipstick, let alone one that is sheerer, more luminous, and hydrating. It likely comes as no shock that they did not wear close to eight hours. The wear ranged from three to four hours, which was in line with other, more luminous formulas of similar coverage-level and was a little longer than the average Lustre lipstick in the past (though more consistent with recently released Lustres).

The updated take on the Lustre finish is more emollient, creamier, and has more consistent coverage. It is still a lighter-weight, thinner consistency relative to MAC's other lipsticks and most other lipstick formulas on the market. The colors that were brought back in the new formula were fairly consistent with the prior versions.

Most of the shades applied evenly, didn't seem to catch or emphasize texture imperfections on my lips, and weren't prone to settling into my lip lines. That being said, the current range is heavier on mid-tones, and it is often very light shades that can be the culprits of both.

The coverage ranged from semi-sheer to medium, and most shades were buildable to semi-opaque coverage, though they tended to wear down to more medium coverage within an hour or so of wear. I found that once some of the shine wore down, e.g. if one drank from a glass of water or blotted lightly, the color that remained was more like the initial layer of product.

They were vanilla-scented but had no discernible taste.

Syrup

MAC Syrup Lustreglass Sheer-Shine Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium pink with subtle, cool undertones and a soft sheen. It had semi-sheer color payoff in a single layer, which could be built up to semi-opaque coverage with two to three passes.

The lipstick had a smooth, lightly creamy texture that melted slightly against my lips but was still a lighter-weight, thinner formula. It wasn’t noticeable in person, at a normal viewing distance, but it was slightly streaky in the close-up photo. It lasted well for three and a half hours and felt lightly hydrating.

Sellout

MAC Sellout Lustreglass Sheer-Shine Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium pink with warmer undertones and a lightly glossy, cream finish. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that could be built up to medium to semi-opaque coverage with two to three layers. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and creamy without being too slippery, but it was prone to settling into my lip lines and looking streaky along the edges or if I pressed my lips together. It wore decently for three and a half hours and felt lightly moisturizing.
