Wild Wheeler

MAC Wild Wheeler Lipglass ($21.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a brighter, medium fuchsia pink with strong, cool blue undertones and a shiny, cream finish.

  • Mostly opaque coverage
  • Light-medium thickness, tacky
  • Spread fairly evenly, smoothed out most lip lines
  • Longer-wearing (typically 5 hours for this formula), moderately hydrating

Formula Overview

$21.00/0.1 oz. - $210.00 Per Ounce

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 have found 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.

Skull Rock

MAC Skull Rock Lipglass ($21.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a soft, almost purplish-black with neutral-to-warm undertones and a cream finish. Unfortunately, the sheerness made it very obvious just how prone this was to settling into my lip lines!

  • Medium coverage
  • Light-medium thickness, tacky
  • Prone to settling into lip lines, uneven application
  • Longer-wearing (typically 5 hours for this formula), moderately hydrating

Love Wild Wheeler even though I just know that such a blue based pink can make me look a bit green. It is a gorgeous shade for summer, though!

Skull Rock would DEFINITELY need a deep or black lipstick underneath it in order to work. Yikes. Patch city!

Damnit! My inner goth wants that black lip gloss SO BAD. But my responsible inner adult says we can’t spend that kind of money on what is obviously a disappointment.
