MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande 2 Lipglass
MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande 2 Lipglass ($16.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium-dark rosy mauve with subtle, warm undertones and flecks of gold and pink shimmer. It had semi-opaque color coverage that went on fairly evenly but did settle into lip lines to a noticeable degree. The texture was light-medium in weight, tacky, but comfortable and lasted for four and a half hours on me. MAC Totally Buff (LE, $21.00) is warmer (85% similar).

MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande 2 Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a bold, bright, medium-dark magenta-purple with pink undertones and a satin finish. It had very nearly opaque color coverage that applied evenly and smoothly. The texture was lightly creamy, didn’t tug the lips when applied, and sat fairly well on lips. This shade lasted for six hours, was slightly drying over time, and after four hours of wear, some of the color did pull into lip lines. Bite Beauty Orchid (LE, $24.00) is lighter (95% similar).

The gloss is subdued to the point where it didn’t really seem to change the color of the lipstick; it added glossiness and caused the lipstick to appear somewhat streaky.

The lip gloss is really pretty, think it will go really well with that new NARS Bound lipstick, but the Ariana lipstick is going to look really terrible on me 🙁 And the promo pic made it look more purplish too
Awww!
I like the color of the lipgloss. Too bad I cannot handle the MAC lipglass formula at all. Also, is it just me or does this gloss/lipstick combo seems the most random ever?
The combo is odd, mostly because the gloss doesn’t do anything to the lipstick color other than really change the finish, IMO! In the past, the gloss is usually very shimmery, so it adds glossiness + shimmer. It’s not a bad color for a gloss, and it’s not particularly common, but they do seem out of place when put together!
Yeah, I thought the color combo was really odd too, they don’t really go together. My guess is because the the lipstick is a magenta color that not everyone can pull off, so they went with a lip gloss that’s a “safer” color and more universally flattering
An artist at my local mac told me the idea wasn’t for the products to necessarily go together, but for there to be more variety so more people are likely to enjoy at least one of the products.
That eye look is amazing on you!
It’s kind of funny to me that there is a Magenta in this collection, as I don’t recall ever seeing Ariana Grande wear one on the red carpet or anything!
Regardless, it’s a beautiful shade and it’s for a great cause.
I don’t follow her, so I had no idea! I wonder why they opted for it!
This duo is MUCH more my cup of tea than the first collab!
Woohoo! Enjoy!
Want.
Yay!
The gloss on its own is very pretty!
It is a nice color!
As long as it performs better than the first VG Ariana lipstick did, I’m happy. It’s interesting to see them choose a non-sparkly gloss, hmmm…
Fingers crossed it does better than the first for you! 🙂
I wish the gloss had more shimmer, but it’s still pretty. I love the lipstick. I probably have dupes, but I support the charity, and will most likely get these anyway.
Me too, Rachel! If it was more shimmery, it would be easier to overlook the unevenness.
Both look very wearable and fun! That Lipglass is the sort of shade I buy over and over again as a nude lipstick topper. The lipstick is gonna be trickier, because I DO own the UD Revolution version of Bittersweet. So I’m not so sure if I want to “double up” or not.
I like both. If I had a teen girl, I’d be getting her that gloss!
I NEED DAT LIPGLASS. Lipstick is a pass but omg, don’t care.
Glad to see this Ariana 2 VG is doing better than the first one, though I still bought that one 😉
I don’t really know if this kind of pink suits me though, but I will have a look in the store.
Thanks for all your swatching!
My pleasure, Djilan!
