Okay, so maybe C-Thru isn’t going to win a flashy dance-off with MAC’s louder Lipglasses, but ya know, for some reason, it always keeps me coming back for more.
Why? Because it just works. Whenever I want a little sparkle and shine, BAM! There’s C-Thru. Whenever I want a gloss to give my lips some warmth and shimmer, KAPOW! Hi, C-Thru.
A shimmery, sheer peachy beige/nude, C-Thru goes with just about everything, and I think it’s great for a toned down lip look.
It’s one of my favorite lippies to wear with smokey eyes, usually layered with nude liners like MAC Spice or Subculture. I can totally see Angeline Jolie busting this out every once in a while. It’s simple, neutral, and it goes with almost everything.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

May 1st, 2012 at 9:11 pmC-Thru Lipglass is one of my all-time favorite MAC products. It always makes its way onto my shopping list. I also like pairing this with MAC’s Stripdown pencil. My ultimate, favorite nude lip!

May 2nd, 2012 at 1:02 amThis gloss looks AMAZING with the rest of your look. Love it!!! And again with the Dune…I am so needing this in my life right now. I just got Suede a few days ago and fully plan on returning ASAP for Dune
Nina says
May 2nd, 2012 at 6:09 amThis is awesome on you! 🙂 And I agree, it is an Unsung Hero. I passed it by so many times and then discovered it one afternoon while I was browsing at the MAC store. LOVE!
Kim says
May 2nd, 2012 at 7:25 amI love this look on you – very sassy, yet still kind of neutral. If that makes sense. 🙂
Chris25 says
May 2nd, 2012 at 7:54 amI always pass this up at the store, because it looks so sheer and dupable. Boy, was I wrong!

May 2nd, 2012 at 12:27 pmC-Thru is my favorite lip glass of all time, and goes with literally everything. Glad to see it getting love.

May 2nd, 2012 at 12:27 pmI don’t know how you got it to look good on you. When I wear C-Thru or Underage, it looks like I put a layer of Elmer’s Glue on my lips 🙁
Karen says
May 2nd, 2012 at 8:39 pmHi Ines,
Hmm, have you tried wearing it with a neutral lip liner? Something like Subculture might take away the Elmer’s Glue look.
Rola says
May 3rd, 2012 at 4:56 pmI would love to check this out and try it with Subculture. Subculture is one of my all time favorite MAC lip liners. Great tip!
