formula overview
$21.00/0.1oz. – $210.00 per ounce
The Lipglass formula is said to be “pigmented, very shiny, and add subtle or dramatic color” that can be worn “alone, over lipstick or lipstick” and “conditions the lips.” MAC could use an update on the description as some shades are more pigmented than others, but some are more transparent and probably intentional. The formula has a very glossy, high gloss finish with a light to medium weight and moderate stickiness.
I’ve found that newer lipglasses (over the past few years) are smoother and not quite as sticky as the formula many years ago. They last three to six hours on me and are usually lightly moisturizing. MAC recently updated the color palette and packaging for the palette (although the formula is said to remain the same). So it’s worth noting that with this packaging change came a reduction in quantity to 0.10 fl. oz. (was 0.17 fl. oz.), which may be significant to some but not all.
