We’re no strangers to colour-changing lip products. From IT Cosmetics’ Vitality Lip Flush and Tarte’s LipSurgence Skintuitive Lip Tint to Lipstick Queen’s cult-favourite Frog Prince lipstick and their newest yellow-to-coral Mornin’ Sunshine lipstick, you’d think the trend would slow down just a tad, but there’s a magical new lip offering from M.A.C Cosmetics that’s only driving the colour-changing movement forward.
Off the bat, the packaging of M.A.C’s Hint of Colour Lip Oil looks strikingly similar to their Lipglass glosses, except the lip oils are much more translucent and neon in colour. From what we’ve seen on social media thus far, all four shades of the gel oil formula seem to impart a glossy sheen and leave a pretty popsicle stain behind. A lip gloss and stain in a bright ass tube? We’re sold.
Similar to any colour-changing makeup, the hues in the tubes aren’t always indicative of what shows up on your lips. The shade Pale Princess (yellow), for example, turns into a custom shade of pink depending on your body’s pH, instead of transforming into a coral shade. We’ve got our eyes on that one, as well as Candy Drop, a grape hue that leaves a gorgeous berry stain on the lips. These lip oils are absolutely perfect for those who could do with a ’90s gloss revival right about now.
M.A.C Cosmetics Hint of Colour Lip Oil, $38 each. Available now at M.A.C stores and counters.
