MAC Oyster Girl is a slightly cool-toned, very light pink with a pearl finish. It is a permanent lipgloss that retails for $21.00 and contains 0.1 oz.

Editor's Review

MAC Oyster Girl Lipglass ($17.00 for 0.10 fl. oz.) is a light, cooler pink paired with warmer, gold pearl that is plentiful enough that it gave the gloss a warmer tone overall. It had semi-sheer to medium color payoff that applied fairly evenly. There was just a smidgen of gloss that sat in my deeper lip lines, but it looked smooth from a distance due to the high-shine finish. The gloss was moderately tacky, lasted for four hours, and was lightly 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.

Per-freaking-fection! It glides on and makes your lip lines, if you have them, less noticeable. It's the only gloss I have that has this effect. I usually wear it on it's on or on top of a neutral lip liner.
