Glossy lips continue to dominate beauty trends, and MAC Cosmetics has stepped into the moment with the launch of its Lipglazer Glossy Liner. The liner arrives in eight shades, offering a formula that combines color, definition, and hydration while complementing the brand’s extensive collection of lip glosses.
LIPS
MAC has built its reputation on cult-favorite lip liners, staples in countless makeup kits since the brand’s early years. The Lipglazer Glossy Liner expands on that legacy by introducing a gel-based formula that reimagines how lip liners perform. Each pencil applies with ease, delivering a glossy finish that defines lips while enhancing volume and comfort.
The shade lineup features names that fans of MAC will instantly recognize. “Velvet Teddy” delivers a deep beige, “Root For Me!” arrives in a cool deep neutral, and “Candy Yum-Yum” offers a bright pink. “Ribbon” presents a classic cherry red, while “Whirlin” gives a muted dirty rose. “Lady Danger” stands out with a coral-red, “Marrakesh” adds an orange-brown, and “Nightmoth” provides a deep plum. Together, these colors represent a spectrum that supports both everyday wear and high-impact looks.
The Lipglazer Glossy Liner goes beyond traditional pencils by offering benefits tailored for glossy finishes. The formula provides instant shine and visibly volumizes the lips, creating a plump effect without discomfort. Its gel-cream texture ensures a tug-free glide, while ingredients like meadowfoam seed oil and jojoba oil nourish and hydrate. The liner wears comfortably throughout the day, balancing shine with smooth definition.
According to Dominic Skinner, Director of Artistry at MAC, the Lipglazer redefines how lip liners contribute to modern beauty routines. He describes the product as a response to the renewed interest in glossy, fuller lips, noting that the formula offers both definition and softness in a single product. His remarks frame the liner as a tool that updates the iconic Y2K lip look for today.
Application tips highlight the liner’s versatility. When used before lipstick, it can define the Cupid’s bow, overline lips for a fuller effect, or create contour when paired with lighter shades of lipstick. After lipstick, it sharpens edges and enhances definition. Combined with Lipglass, it produces a high-shine finish. For those who prefer liner alone, it doubles as a product that shades, fills, and delivers sheen with long-lasting hydration.
MAC’s Lipglazer Glossy Liner retails for $25 USD and is available now through the brand’s website. With its combination of high-performance formula, classic shades, and versatile application, it introduces a new option for beauty enthusiasts who want lips that look fuller, hydrated, and polished with minimal effort.
