Love the colors, love the cause.
LipglossandSpandex (487 reviews)

All MAC lipsticks are fabulous, but the Viva Glam lipsticks are especially awesome becauseEVERY cent from the purchase of Viva Glam products goes to the MAC Aids Foundation. That's impressive. And the Viva Glam colors tend to be flattering for almost all skintones. The finishes vary, but all of them look great on your lips, apply evenly and have the signature MAC vanilla scent. They wear off fairly evenly as well, so no need to worry about the dreaded lipstick ring around your lips. However, they are a bit drying. The price is reasonable, at $14.50 a piece. I like that they have special red metal tubing to differentiate them from the regular MAC line, and the signatures on the tube are also a nice touch. I have Viva Glam VI, Viva Glam Gaga 1, and Viva Glam Cyndi. I'm sad Cyndi was discontinued, because it's the most amazing shade of red. It's moderately pigmented, and can be sheered or blotted to be a hint of red, or it can be layered on for a more intense red. It's a great "beginner's red." However, they come out with new Viva Glam products every year, and I'm sure I'll fall in love with another lipstick. — 5 months, 2 weeks ago

A little pricey, but worth it.

Good color that lasts and does not clump after a while. Good pigmentation. Highly recommend. — 1 year, 2 months ago

These lipsticks are super creamy and bold! They have all the benefits of regular MAC lipsticks and they help fight a great cause too. — 1 year, 5 months ago

viva la lipstick
beautybody (127 reviews)

My sister and I both bought this lipstick as it looked great on both of us. We bought viva glam VI. It has a hint of shimmer to it which the lipstick states is the lustre formula. I think this would look good on any number of people with different skin tones. I have very fair skin and it looks great on me. I have bough it twice now. It lasts a few hours about the same as any other lippy. I dno't liked a lot of scent in my lipsticks, but this one doesn't bother me. It smells a little bit sweet to me. It would be nice with no scent at all, but what are you going to do. — 2 months, 1 week ago

Viva Glam Lipstick
leo1999 (560 reviews)

The III and the wearable red, Viva Glam I, are soft and creamy and not terribly expensive, considering they are department store cosmetics. They have the MAC vanilla taste and wear quite well for quite a long time. — 1 year, 3 months ago

Buy lipstick..Give to MAC AIDS Fund!
sweettpea29 (205 reviews)

You can't really say that many beauty products that you buy actually give back but this lipstick does! This lipstick's formula is almost like the slimshine formula. It's creamy and the color is great. — 2 years, 7 months ago

High-maintenance but gorgeous and glam
teshie (396 reviews)

I went to MAC determined to walk away with a red lipstick that would actually look good on me. I have very fair, freckled skin and red hair. Every red I've ever tried has looked ugly and orange-y. The first lipstick the salesperson suggested was VGI, and it looked great on me. It's a true red and it really lights up my blue eyes. I like the texture, but I need to exfoliate and moisturize my lips and apply lip liner before I use this product, otherwise it feathers, dries out my lips, and quickly fades. I think it's worth it for the color payoff, but make sure you have a mirror on you at all times when you wear this product! — 3 years, 6 months ago

Glam It Up
ShanthiDevi (90 reviews)

Bold colors and a pretty tube. The Viva Glam lipsticks have been a real hit. I have 2 color and wear occasionally. I do find they are a bit drying after you have them on for awhile. I think I have enough. — 2 months ago

Love this Lipstick
BellezzaBeauty (64 reviews)

I have the Viva Glam Gaga II lipstick and lipglass that is my go to combo for a perfect nude lip. The lipstick is so highly pigmented and creamy and the lipglass is as well. Can be worn together (as I do) or seperately for a beautiful look WHILE supporting a great cause. — 11 months, 3 weeks ago
