I've been trying MAC lipglass, and it seems like you really, REALLY need to make sure your lips are well-moisturized before applying. otherwise it looks terrible. lipglass also almost seems to dry them out. does your lip gloss look good? do you just constantly apply lip balm when you're not wearing the gloss, to keep the lips moisturized & plump?
also, do you find that this is a problem with other lip glosses, or is it just MAC?
thanks girls :D

Before you put on lip gloss, have a moisturizing stick ready (a high-quality Bonnebelle can do the trick, or Revlon Moondrops.) Apply it, and scratch away the dead skin on your lips. Don't ever pull, though (if there is a large, bothersome flap, just cut it off with a scissors.) After moisturizing, apply lipstick in a color that is very similar to your lip color. Rub your lips together, and use your finger to brush away any smudges. Applying concealer on the edges of your lips can keep lipstick it in place. Now for the gloss! Just smooth it over your lips, rub your lips together, and rub away any smudges. Then kiss the back of your hand (not a paper, since it will absort your gloss.) Voila, moist and sexy lips!

I use MAC tinted lip conditioner stick with spf 15 so your lips get proteced and also it doesnt dry out like other glosses. You can wear that alone during the day, and then as a bottom and a top coat over a gloss at night!

I've had that problem with the LipGlass as well...pretty colors but I don't use it.
In my purse right now I have Maybelline Shinylicious in Cinnamon Apple, L'Oreal HIP in Pixie and a Rimmel lipgloss.
All three of these are much cheaper than MAC, and are much more moisturizing. I don't need to wear lipbalm with these, they are my lipbalm.

The trick is to apply a good lipstick under the lip gloss, it has to be a color that compliments the color of the lip gloss. Most good lipsticks moisturize, so it will solve your problem.

I've never used MAC but I would suggest going to Bath and Body works or Sephora and get a liquid lip plumper of a different brand.

I use L'oreal and i find it ok, if you have dry lips try just plain vaseline at night or kiehls lip balm let it soak in over night. They only problems I have it just seems to disappear!! Never used MAC so I can't comment on it but consider switching if your unhappy.

I've never had a problem with lip gloss, and I've never used MAC. With any lipgloss you will have to reapply often, or more often than lipstick.

I use bare minerals and I love it. It doesn't dry my lips out. I wear the Wearable Nude color.
