Let’s be clear: Lisa Barlow doesn’t do subtle things, and her lips never have. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star is the queen of the full-glam entrance, a tequila entrepreneur, big-things-doing, “Baby Gorgeous” icon whose liner is always on point. Now MAC Cosmetics is giving the pout its due with a MACzine cover and two signature lip bundles.
“What I love about Lisa is that her relationship with M·A·C is real. She knows what she loves, owns her signature look, and isn’t afraid to make it her own. With MACzine, we’re celebrating those authentic connections between beauty and culture, and the products that become part of someone’s personal identity. Sometimes, a lip liner is more than a product – it’s part of your signature,” MAC Glocal Creative Director, Nicola Formichetti shares.
Keep reading for Barlow’s Q&A on her MAC history, her go-to lip combos, and what MAC really stands for.
The Lip Bundles
Lisa’s MACzine cover launches Saturday, October 31, at 8am ET, with her signature lip front and center. The moment grew out of Lisa sharing her favorite MAC lip combo, which got fans asking for a “Baby Gorgeous” version of their own.
Barlow joins MAC live on TikTok Shop on Saturday, October 31st, at 1pm ET to unveil two signature lip bundles:
Baby Gorgeous Lip: Dervish Lip Pencil + Honeylove Lipstick
I Do Big Things Lip: Whirl Lip Pencil + Velvet Teddy Lipstick
Both bundles pair a liner with a lipstick, which is exactly how Lisa wears them. As she puts it: “I have so many go-to lip combos. I love Velvet Teddy lipstick, and the different variations of Velvet Teddy, too. It really depends on my vibe- I love Soar, Whirl, Dervish Lip Liners. People grossly underestimate the importance of a killer lip line, you have to use a combo.”
Here’s what Barlow has to say about the partnership:
The Tease: How does it feel to be on the cover of MACzine?
Lisa Barlow: Being on the cover of MACzine is like nothing out of my wildest dreams. I have been the biggest lover of MAC makeup since the 90s. I walked block upon block to get the first ever-collab with RuPaul and it’s just surreal that, and kinda kismet, that we’re partnered together now.
What is your history with MAC?
Barlow: I love everything about MAC. Back before the age of concierge glam, if you wanted the best makeup, you knew you were going to the MAC counter, you were going to work with a MAC Artist, and you were going to get the perfect look. The heavy pigments, the beautiful colours, the consistency, the way the brand formulates each one of the products, there’s so many reasons to go back to MAC.
What’s your go to MAC lip combo?
Barlow: I have so many go-to lip combos. I love Velvet Teddy lipstick, and the different variations of Velvet Teddy, too. It really depends on my vibe- I love Soar, Whirl, Dervish Lip Liners. People grossly underestimate the importance of a killer lip line, you have to use a combo.

Barlow: “Most Amazing Cosmetics brand”
