This year Glam, Hoop and Pink Poodle got the opportunity to return as MAC By Request lipsticks. Among these I bought the pretty matte red lipstick called Glam with the help of my friend Shivani (owner of Ordermakeup UK). The moment I saw the lipsticks I immediately decided which one to pick and the moment I got it, I knew it deserved to win the polls and return back from the 90s!
MAC Claims: Glam is a vivid, bright pinky-red. Hundreds of thousands of MAC Fans voted for their favorite rare shades of Lipstick, Lipglass and Eye Shadow from the 90s. Now is your chance to get them before they disappear forever – along with new matching Lipglass! Available only online while supplies last.
My Review:
A lipstick that itself is named Glam need not be described how glam it is. Infact I am committed to Glam now! MAC Glam is a cool toned pinkish red. The shade has a satin texture as I don’t feel any tugging or pulling while applying the lipstick. One swipe is enough to give opaque coverage. Glam is a dramatic shade and reminds me of early 90’s.
The lipstick has their signature vanilla scent. Its consistency is creamy and non-drying though in the tube it looks like a true matte. It is undoubtedly a long lasting lipstick as the wear time is around 7 hours with a slight bit of even fading after heavy meals.
MAC Cosmetics announced that people who love to wear MAC had the opportunity to vote for limited edition products to make a return in a collection. MAC wearers voted via the brand’s official Facebook page and thousands of votes were counted and the most popular shades won and got the opportunity to be sold again until the supplies last. Three shades from three categories (lipstick, lipglass, and eyeshadow) have returned to MAC Cosmetics for a limited time. The products are available exclusively online, and are presented as the MAC by Request collection.
Good Points about MAC Glam Lipstick:
Bad points about MAC Glam Lipstick:
Price: $16 approx (Available only through MAC online site)
VNA Rating: 4/5
Dupe: MAC Red
My recommendation: As the lipstick return as “mac by request” so it is unavailable in India unless someone get it for you from abroad otherwise the lipstick is pretty dupable and it is very close to Mac Red lipstick so if you love the shade then you can grab the dupe one from the same brand.
Great review dear! The texture looks creamy and beautiful color..
Thanks dear , yes it is indeed very nice shade :)
great review..and this is a lovely shade of red…
yes :) thanks sweetie :)
Nice review dear!
Aww thanks a ton dear :)
Lovely intense red shade, and I so wish I could wear that although I suspect that the blue undertones would make my pale skin look a bit washed out.. oh well at least MAC has an enormous range of colors to choose from :o) Xx
Thanks dear … :)
Such a pretty shade…nice review dear
Thank you :)
Oh this shade looks so nice…
Hehehe thanks :)

I ADORE “GLAM!”
I bought it back in the day, when it was part of MAC’S standard lineup. At some point, GLAM was axed. 😭
Then I quit buying MAC, because they ceased to be cruelty-free. GLAM is/was one of my very favorite MAC products, and I’ve been desperately seeking dupes since it was lost to me.
The most satisfying dupe I’ve found so far is Colour pop “Evil Queen” lipstick, an absolutely heavenly deep red rose with a sublime plush matte finish. Naturally, it’s limited bloomin’ edition, though. 😱
Jordana Modern Matte lipstick in “Matte Dahlia” is also a decent dupe, though.
Perfect :)
:)
Looks very pretty!!
one other exact dupe is bourjois rose sedussiant :D look very similar :D
is it ? ohhh :D thank you for letting it know :)
Very nice shade of red…
xo
Thank you :)
Such a pretty retro lipcolor. …. loved it and you’ve reviewed it brilliantly dear :)
Aww Thank you :) so sweet of you :)
looks so good on you samy
Thank you Anshita :)
Grgs shade n pretty lip swatches :*
I remember this shade!
On me (NW15; brunette) Glam shows up as almost exactly the color of red roses.
I’ve not been able yet to find a dupe in a cruelty-free brand, but I plan to keep on looking!
