Love this gloss applied over top of nude lipsticks as it's the perfect pairing together. 2N is creamy beige with slight peachy-pink undertones. Doesn't wash me out or erase my lips which can be a difficult task for my fair complexion.

I got this lipglass from second hand so it was already used couple times. The packaging is a little worn and text faded away. But when i first applied it to my lips, i was sold. It's perfect nude lipgloss to my skintone and its nicely pigmented and creamy. Only bad thing is that it is pretty sticky.
But I'm definitely going to wear it with MAC nude lipstick (like Myth). If you're searching for nude lipgloss, this might be the one.

I intially bought this since many people described this lipglass as a nude. But with my skintone and my natural lip colour, it came off as a MLBB colour. This would work out as a nude for WOC.The constiency is nice, long lasting, and doesn't sink into lips. Great colour, but I wouldn't purchase again since I only wear nudes.

This is my favorite nude lipgloss. I wear this alone, the gloss is opaque and quite creamy to me. There's no shimmers and it just gives you a nice tint of color to your lips. My lips are very pigmented and this brightens my lips. I bought this at the CCO and it was just a random buy and I loveee it!

I have a really hard time finding nudes that aren't too dark or too light or too orangey or gray looking for my skin tone. This is the perfect nude gloss for me--it's not too dark or brown-toned, and it doesn't leave my lips lighter than my skin tone. It gives that perfect peachy nude look.

I'm not convinced by all the hype surrounding the MAC lipglasses in general. I find the formula extremely sticky and goopey. The applicator is very small and causes the lip gloss to go on in streaks. Also, for the price you pay you get very little product. The colour of this doesn't suit me but that's because I got it as a freebie and didn't get the chance to look at all the available colours. I like the MAC liplass colours so I'm not sure if I'll re-purchase any other MAC lipglasses.

I found my hg gloss that doesn't wash me out. I'm an nc20, Asian, with lots of yellow undertones and this gloss is very flattering on me because of the yellow undertones. I tried other Mac glosses such as Underage, Florabundance etc and those look HORRIBLE on me. I first dab on some Peachstock lightly on my lips and wear this on top and it turns into the most perfect, peachy, nude Jlo-esque lips. It's not too brown or orange, it's just perfect, especially with dark smokey eyes and paired with a peachy blush such as Mac Style or Nars Luster.

This is a great color, though it doesn't look like much in the tube. I use it over 4n lipstick. And if I want to amp it up a bit, I use a bright colored gloss on top and it just makes everything pop. Overall, I love this gloss and always carry it around in my purse.

A re-promote but now from the Warm & Cozy collection. It's a creamy neutral yellow pink. I decided to do some comparisons with other lipglasses I already have. And as you can see is more pinker than Wildy Lush but also has a orange/yellow undertone. A must have!

2N is a warm nude lipglass. Mainly beige-peach color with hint pf pink. not too much pink or too much beige,just equally balance. It's a cream finish type of lipglass. I specifically love this on top of my MAC Hug Me or Brave New Bronze lipstick. When worn alone,it mutes my semi pigmented lips without making me look like a dehydrated zombie. Lasting power & shine are good. i like it,but don't fall in love with it. So,i don't think i would repurchase again. This would look seriously hot with smokey eyes though.


MAC comparison: darker & warmer than Wildly Lush plushglass but lighter than Lust lipglass.

I'm NC40,dark brown-black hair & eyes.

What a beautiful color for light-medium skin. A easy to wear pink/beige/nude. If you find nudes either too orange or too brown, then this is your next best option.

I would first like to say that this lip gloss is not for everyone. With my skin tone, it made me look really tired and my lips looked an unatural color. But when my cousin tried it on, it look absolutely stunning on her. Her lips turned out the way i wanted! So this lip gloss looked better on lighter shaded lips and paler skin. If you are tanned like me, i liked the 4N better. So you can try that. It also gives you that nice neutral lips without making you lips look unatural.

I love this lipgloss, its sooo pretty!!! It can be wore alone or sometimes I put a brown lip pencil like Stripdown & Creme D'Nude lipstick with it!! When I went to the MAC store I was really going to get an e/s with my 6 Back 2 MAC items but of course you can't just go into MAC and get one thing, lol!! So I happened to try it and it looked really nice. I would get it again but I think it came out with the Warm and Cozy collection (when I purchased it, which was earlier this month) so I'm not sure if it is actually a permenant color but if your looking for a nude/neutral gloss this is the one to get!!!

I love this color. I'm an NC45 African-American girl. This gives me just enough color to give a semi nude look without washing me out. I pair it with Caramellow liner. I like to do a smokey eye at night, and I don't want it to fight with my lips. I really like this color, and we definitely be re-purchasing.

It's not too sticky. The color is a pretty pinkish-nude. It doesn't make me look dead and isn't too glittery.

This is my very first lipglass from MAC. It didn't leave a good first impression, but I may give another color of their lip glosses another chance in the future.


Color:
If you want a nude lip, you can definitely achieve that with this lipglass. The color in the tube is the true color (I hate it when I buy lipglosses that apply darker or lighter than the color in the package.) My lips aren't too pigmented so the color tones down my lips quite well. If you have pigmented lips you may need to layer this over a nude lipstick, but in my situation I could wear this gloss alone and it will lighten up my lips. The color is pretty matte and sheer, if you're looking for shimmer look elsewhere.


Texture:
From what I've read the lipglasses from MAC are thick, and this is no exception. I have to be careful applying this because too much will make my lips appear messy. Also make sure your lips are exfoliated or nice and smooth as the lipgloss would sink into my lines when my lips were a little chapped, and it looked simply horrible. Made me look a little sick, honestly. It really isn't moisturizing. It's a little sticky too, which is never desirable.


Smell:
No offensive fragrance here, it has a light smell that slightly reminds me of dessert if that makes sense! It's delightful and not nauseating.


Packaging:
In normal MAC fashion, the detail is simple and clean. Looks professional. The tube is pretty tiny though, for some reason I expected it to be a bit bigger. You get 0.17 oz of product, which is pretty good because the size is quite deceiving. The name doesn't appeal to me because I like gimmicky names for makeup, but the name doesn't hurt the product anyway.


Longevity:
Lasts me about 3 hours without eating. Nice but nothing incredible.


Overall:
+ Pretty color
+ Great lipglass choice for a nude lip
+ The amount of product in the package is appropriate price-wise
+ Lovely scent
- Not very moisturizing
- Thick and sticky texture, not the most comfortable
- Size of lipglass is pretty small (although this may be for pro for some)


In the end, it's a nice lipgloss but it's not groundbreaking. I will finish it but probably will not repurchase. Here's a tip though: I once applied 2N to my lips and layered Sephora's Super Shimmer Lip Gloss in Precious Pink on top. The color is sheer so it didn't ruin 2N's color but it made my lips look much smoother.

When I tried this on at the counter, I initially disliked it. It went on too brown and too flat. But the MA, who I trust implicitly with my makeup choices, insisted I give it a try instead of buying Feeling Dreamy, another lipglass in the Warm and Cozy collection that I had tried on and liked. I am so, so glad I trusted him, because after a few minutes on my lips 2N mellowed out into this beautiful pale pinky-nude color. I think because I applied too much of it the first go-around, my natural lip color didn't show through the way it does when I apply it properly with the doefoot. My lips are pale, glossy, and not deathly-looking, yay! I took off one lippie because if I don't prime with a lip balm, the color does settle into the fine lines of my lips and that's kind of unpleasant.

This is such a great colour lipglass. I am in love with it!! I sadly missed out on getting it with the N Collection but once i knew it was being re-premoted i just had to get it. I ordered it online as soon as the Warm and Cozy collection was released here. I took a chance and got a back up too-im so glad i did! I knew i would love it and i certainly do, so much so, i may even get another (obsessed much?!). The colour to me is a nude pink without being milky-i would say it was more warm toned. I would highly rec this to anyone from pale-medium skintones who want a nude/neutral lip without looking dead. Now all i need is for MAC to bring back 2n amd 3n lipsticks!!
