Lust
MAC Lust Lipglass ($17.00 for 0.10 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium-dark coral with warm, brown undertones and a cream finish. I almost wanted to describe it as a peachy brown, but there was a rosiness to it the color that it truer to a coral to my eye. It had nearly opaque pigmentation, and it applied fairly evenly, though there was a bit of color that had pulled into my lip lines. The consistency was smooth, light-to-medium in weight, and noticeably tacky, though it did not feel overly thick or goopy to me. This shade wore well for four and a half hours and was moisturizing over time.
The Lipglass formula is supposed to be “pigmented, very shiny and can impart subtle or dramatic color” that can be worn “on its own, over lip pencil or lipstick” and will “condition lips.” MAC could use an update on the description as some shades are more pigmented than others but several are sheerer and likely intended to be that way. The formula has a very glossy, high-shine finish with a light-medium weight and moderate tackiness. I find that newer Lipglasses (over the last couple of years) are smoother and not quite as tacky as the formula was many years ago. They wear from three to six hours on me and are usually lightly hydrating. MAC recently updated the shade range and packaging for the range (though the formula was said to be unchanged), so worth noting is that with that packaging change came a reduction in quantity to 0.10 fl. oz. (was 0.17 fl. oz.), which may matter for some but not everyone.

Spice
MAC Spice Lipglass ($17.00 for 0.10 fl. oz.) is a medium brown with warm, slightly orange undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that covered with just a touch of streaking along the edges and minimal settling into my lip lines. The texture was very smooth, somewhat tacky, and spreadable. It lasted for just over four and a half hours on me and was lightly hydrating while worn.

Beaux
MAC Beaux Lipglass ($17.00 for 0.10 fl. oz.) is a medium brown with warm undertones and gold pearl. It had medium pigmentation that covered the lips fairly evenly with just a touch of color that settled into lip lines, which I did not find noticeable from a normal viewing distance (only in the close-up photos). The gloss had a smoother texture that was comfortable to spread across the lips and to wear. It stayed on well for four and a half hours and was lightly moisturizing.

Oh Baby
MAC Oh Baby Lipglass ($17.00 for 0.10 fl. oz.) is a medium-dark, caramel brown with warm, reddish undertones and lots of gold shimmer and sparkle. It had medium coverage, but the amount of shimmer gave it the illusion of almost semi-opaque coverage. The gloss was smooth with noticeable tackiness, but it spread comfortably across the lips and didn’t feel heavy or goopy on me. It wore well for five hours and was lightly hydrating.

Lust immediately caught my eye, and Oh Baby really looks nice too.
I like when MAC has shimmer without a milky base in their Lipglass range!
Spice is gorgeous, I just bought it Saturday.
Awesome! 😀
Oh Baby looks like it grew up in this new formula! It and Beaux are on my WL. Beaux already was, I believe. But now that Oh Baby lost that weird green and red glitter, it is also!
Oh no! 🙁
These are good looking glosses, I really want three out of the four. I do love shimmery glosses, so Oh Baby and Beaux are on the wishlist alog with Spice.
Three out of four is pretty good!
Beaux and Oh Baby have been my favorites for years! Just the perfect colors for us chocolate girls!! They look great on you too, Christine!
Happy to hear that they work well on darker skin tones! Thank you for sharing, Jocelyn!
Spice is pretty but I think it might be too orange for me.
Oh Baby is really pretty.
