MAC Femmomenon Lustreglass Sheer-Shine Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a light-medium brown with moderate, warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had medium pigmentation that was somewhat buildable but applied evenly and comfortably across my lips. The texture was lightweight, thinner but not clingy, and didn’t emphasize lip texture. It wore nicely for three and a half hours and was lightly moisturizing while worn.

The formula is supposed to have a “sheer, buildable color” that is moisturizing while also being long-wearing with “six hours” of shine and “eight hours” of color.
First and foremost, these have an unexpectedly long long-wearing claim. It is not shocking that they did not wear close to eight hours. Eight hours of wear is a feat for any lipstick, let alone one that is sheerer, more luminous, and hydrating. The wear ranged from three to four hours, which was in line with other, more luminous formulas of similar coverage level and was a little longer than the average Lustre lipstick in the past (though more consistent with recently released Lustres).
The updated take on the Lustre finish is more emollient, creamier, and has more consistent coverage. It is still a lighter-weight, thinner consistency relative to MAC’s other lipsticks and most other lipstick formulas. The colors brought back in the new procedure were consistent with the prior versions.
Most of the shades applied evenly didn’t seem to catch or emphasize texture imperfections on my lips and weren’t prone to settling into my lip lines. That being said, the current range is heavier on mid-tones, and it is often very light shades that can be the culprits of both.
The coverage ranged from semi-sheer to medium, and most shades were buildable to semi-opaque, though they tended to wear down to more medium coverage within an hour or so of wear. I found that once some of the shine wore down, e.g., if one drank from a glass of water or blotted lightly, the remaining color was more like the initial product layer.
They were vanilla-scented but had no discernible taste. Browse all of our MAC Lustreglass Sheer-Shine Lipstick swatches.

MAC Hug Me Lustreglass Sheer-Shine Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a light, rosy brown with warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage, was a little more pigmented than marketed, and applied evenly across my lips.
The texture was lightweight, light, and comfortable without being clingy and lightly emollient but not overly slippery. It stayed on well for four hours, though it was marketed to wear a lot longer and felt lightly hydrating over time.

MAC I Deserve This Lustreglass Sheer-Shine Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium-dark, reddish-brown with warm undertones and a natural finish. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that could be built up to medium coverage if desired.
The texture was lightweight, thin but not clingy, and had just enough slip that it glided on comfortably but did not feel slippery while worn. The color went on fairly evenly but could have been more even overall. It lasted well for three hours and was touched lightly moisturizing while worn.
