Favorite nude lipglass ever! This one is better than underage in my opinion! My tube is almost empty so I must run to the nearest MAC store to get a back up!

I try to give this one a general rating - the colour is unusual, it is a very, very light, well-pigmented beige colour. For its pigment, I give it 4 stars. I am sure for people of light skintones, this one will be a lovely, opaque nude. For me (NC30), this is too white. Zombie-look :) So no, no more C-thru for me!

I have recently come to the conclusion that when I want pink lips I love my natural lip color better than any lipstick or lip gloss I've found. But, I've been looking for something to tone down my very pigmented lips when I want that sexy, sultry smokey eye pale lip combo. This is it!! I bought this based on the MUA reviews and it is my absolute favorite lip product of all time!! (besides jack black lip balm of course). I prefer wearing this alone because it tones down my lip color but doesn't wash me out. It's not overly glossy which I love, and it's sticky enough that it stays on for hours. This is office appropriate and clubbing appropriate IMO. C-thru is my new love :) (For ref. I'm NC20)

This is one of my all time favorite glosses...it's a gorgeous nude that can be sheer, or you can apply more to completely block out your lip color. It's very strippery, and, for me, that's a wonderful thing.

This is a great lip glass for someone with a lighter skin tone. This was, too pale for me for everyday wear.

Nude vanilla colored gloss with a bit of shimmer. I like it paired with Subculture lip liner and pinky nude lipstick.

I got this at a MAC store for USD $14.50. C-Thru is a nude/beige gloss with a bit of shimmer. Alone on my pigmented lips it looks awful, but over a lipliner or lipstick, it's actually very nice. It doesn't dry out my lips and after the initial application still retains the moisture without being sticky. This is my second review of this product (the first time I completely hated this product). After some time to work with it, I do like it and I would repurchase.

When doing smoky eye looks this was my go to! It smells great, awesome lasting power, does not make me look like a Vampire/too light. As with all MAC lipglosses it smells like subtle vanilla. The only reason I would not repurchase is I have replaced it with Myth nude MAC lipstick.

This is my favorite lip gloss. It adds a hint of shine while keeping the nude appearance making pink lips look pale but fresh.

I think this is a very popular color because the tone goes well with every woman's skin tone. It is a great natural way to feel sexy without over doing it. I have this color in my bag, at work and at home!

Love, Love, Love MAC C-Thru! I've been wearing it since I was in high school and it really is a great gloss for the summer with a nice tan. Try matching it with your skin tone. If your'e very fair, c-thru may make you look washed-out. Only cons about this product is that all MAC lipglasses are very sticky, and after a few hours of wear, it can leave a white-ish residue in your inner lips. It also looks great if you apply it over a lip color just to add a little nude shine!

This is like everyone else has described it, a milky nude. Not too pigmented, but not clear, either. This is a warmer nude, but works well with my cool skin. I don't usually wear it on its own, but use it with a lipstick to tone it down or create depth. What I really like about it this gloss is that I can use it with all my lipsticks.

This is a very pretty nude, milky color. But, I'm only able to wear it one way, due to it's milky color looking too much like condensed milk, when worn alone.
Luckily, the one one look I wear it with it's so great, that I keep repeat buying this gloss. Darker skinned ladies take note- this is the ultimate C- thru look: line your outer lip line with either Chestnut or Cork liner. don't make the line too thick. Rub your lips together, slightly. Then, take Vino lipliner, and lightly line the bow of your lips and the outer part of your lips, just inside of the Chestnut or Cork. Then add C- thru. Slightly blend. This look is gorgeous. It looks great in the fall and winter.

I was forever on a quest to find nice nude-ish colors that would look good on olive skin. My first time at a mac store, they recommended c-thru and we've been together ever since. It goes great with a dark smokey eye and still gives me that shine I'm looking for and doesn't look bizarre over my pigmented lips. It doesn't pack a whole lot of color (obviously) but it does seem to tone down my lips a little so I feel better wearing heavy eye makeup.

I'm on my third tube of this lip gloss, its a really shiny and glossy and makes my lips looks look really full, I pair it with my subculture or spice lipliner, I've also recently discovered NYX's lipliner in natural I'm loving this the best with c thru, it gives me that "collagen injected" look! Which I'm liking atm, I plan on repurchasing this, it just seems like I go through it so fast but I've yet to find another another gloss that compares to it so until then i'll stick to this.

I love this color, but i can't stand the stickyness of it. I understand lip gloss is meant to be that way, but this one is too much for me. Also, this doesn't last at all. I love it but at the same time.. i wouldn't buy it again.

This is basically the only lip gloss I use now. And I love it. I recommend it for girls with a very natural beauty. My lips are big, and quite pink naturally, and I love the way it tones them down, in a beautiful way, which compliments my face quite well.

This colour does not suit my skintone what so ever. Makes me look dead, too light. I'm NC35 with warm golden undertones for reference. I can see this looking nice on someone with a lighter skin tone. Or would look nice over a lipstick. Will not buy again.
