M.A.C.'s Lipglass gloss is one of the brand's best-known products, and this iteration easily earns our highest rating.

Huggable Glass is packaged in a standard clear plastic tube with a unique flat sponge-tipped wand applicator. The wand itself is a bit more flexible than most, which allows for precision application.



When it comes to texture, Huggable Glass is a dream. The cushiony, balm-like formula glides across lips with ease and feels moisturizing and comfortable. That comfort lasts throughout its wear time (which is about five hours, if you don't eat a meal), and leaves lips softer after it has worn off.

Huggable Glass starts sheer, but is buildable to medium-to-full coverage depending on the shade (the darker shades build color more easily). While Huggable Glass doesn't have quite the glass-like sheen of the original Lipglass, it does have a glossy finish that lasts for two hours or so before fading to a soft shine, leaving a light stain.



Like most M.A.C. lip products, this does have a light vanilla scent provided by the inclusion of vanillin, which is not an irritant (but it is something to consider if you don't like scented lip products).

PROS:

• Cushiony, balm-like texture feels moisturizing and comfortable.
• Buildable color coverage.
• Attractive glossy finish.
• Wears about five hours before fading to a slight stain.

CONS:

• None.
