M.A.C.’s New Plumping Lip Gloss Leaves Lips Looking Juicy for Hours
It’s happened over the years that I’ve gotten so obsessed with a lipstick that I’ve continued to purchase the same shade or tried new colors in the formula. But when I heard there’s a totally new creation from M.A.C., well, that’s pretty exciting. M.A.C. Powerglass Lip Gloss is just that—a fresh new plumping formula with a ton of sheer color. M.A.C. has had lip plumper before (the Plenty of Pout Plumping Lip Gloss) but this version is juicer, shinier and even more long-lasting.
“What separates this formula from any we’ve ever seen in the past is a proprietary tingling Sweet Sting Complex that increases stimulation to lips instantly,” Gregory Arlt, Director of Makeup Artistry, M.A.C. Cosmetics, tells StyleCaster. “It indeed plumps up the lips and feels more creamy and moisturizing than previous incarnations.”
Many lip plumpers dry out the lips but Powerglass feels like a mix of a gloss and a lip balm. It’s not as sticky as Lipglass. That’s thanks to the hyaluronic acid, avocado and coconut oils. And it does sting but not very much and not for very long. Powerglass contains a blend of ginger, capsicum and menthol crystals that increase stimulation and subtly plump lips. There are six non-boring colors that the brand says were inspired by comic book heroes. My favorite shade is Plump Up the Jam, a non-shimmery cherry red. I really love how the curved applicator hugs my lips during application. I’m also pleasantly surprised by how much color there is and how long it lasted even thorough a Dunkin’ Donuts iced tea.

Each has, well, a mood connected with it. They’re packed with vitamins, minerals, chamomile, cucumber and green tea and keep your makeup in place for up to 12 hours. Choose one depending on your mood that day, such as Calm or Passion. Each has a fruity and floral fragrance and TBH they just look cute in your makeup bag.
