Creme Cup is a light baby doll pink that can be as sheer or dramatic as you like. I apply this straight out of the tube for that true baby doll almost bubblegum pink colour. I am glad that I purchased this since I use it almost every night.

I got this free on a Back 2 MAC, and I am SO glad I chose this. I have been using it almost every day, it's become my HG neutral pink lippie. I am an NW20 in Studio Sculpt and have dark brown hair. I think this is the perfect everyday lip colour and such a great nude for smokey eyes too! Love the texture, nice and creamy and not too sheer either! I am so glad this colour is permanent!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this beautiful lipstick! Creme cup is such a gorgeous, pretty but natural looking pink. I am an NC30 blue eyed blonde and this lipstick just brings my face alive, it always looks super fresh and pretty. It is like my lips but better, but adds just a dash of pink, but not a gaudy, tacky pink, just a beautiful glow. I love that it hasn't got shimmer or frost, as I am now over that in my lip products, or really any for that matter ;) Other than this one I love blankety, 3N and pure rose, just for reference. I highly recommend this beautiful lipstick, it is sure to please!!

I finally was able to pick it up after they restocked it after a few weeks. It's a nice colour, looks a bit nude on me though so I can't just slide it on and blot. I have to dab it on in order to get a good finishing look. Overall, will recommend.

I picked this up at a MAC counter in a Duty free shop and realised that it was part of the creamsheen collection that came out some time ago and it was LE in Singapore. I have never worn lavender coloured lipsticks because I thought they don't suit me but this lipstick has changed my opinion. On me creme cup is a pretty lilac-pink colour, yes it does show up a little lilac on my lips and I really do like this colour and it can go on with any kind of makeup!

I will definitely purchase it again if I can find it after I use up this tube. For reference I'm NC30.

I'm a mix of NC20 and NW20 and have very pigmented lips. I like to tone down the color most of the time so I tried Creme Cup because it looked pretty on the shelves and when I swatched it on my hand.

The sad news was that it just didn't look right when applied. Creme lipsticks usually don't apply "right" on my lips, they get kind of cakey and uneven in texture, and they settle in my liplines and make my lips look streaky. This one was no exception.

I've tried wearing this using a light hand with some lip balm or even gloss underneath and it does the trick! It looks really pretty and natural but polished with some oomph. It looks even better with Pinkarat lustreglass on top!

The downside: I think blondes would wear this particular color better than brunettes like me.

My new favorite lipstick. This is what I wanted Angel to look like and it's not frosty. Creme Cup and Speed Dial are my favorite lippies from MAC. I love that it's a Cremesheen so it's not drying. I have NC40-42 skin (in studio sculpt) and it looks great when I just lightly dab it over my lips, if you swipe it all over your lips it can look too much very quickly so it's better to dab it considering my skintone. This is the only lipstick I would wear without lipgloss it looks that good. I also have tried different glosses with it: Morning Glory, Viva Glam VI SE, and Baby Sparks Dazzleglass when I feel like it. All three look great paired with it!

I like this color, a nice nudey pink it didn't go purple on me like i heard it has for some. It slightly pissed of my anti glitter lips which is the only reason it went back.

This is really unnatural on my lips and coloring but I do like it...just not something I would wear often. It is thick and opaque. It kinda looks messy and gloopy if I put this on my top and bottom lip so I just lightly dab it on a blend with my finger. It's really moist so it works well like that. I am happy with it overall but the light blue-ish pink lip isn't a look I can wear everyday.

Woohoo finally got creme cup after wanting it for sooo long! I feel like it's always sold out. I love this color, it's a beautiful light pink! I agree with the other reviews that it is wearable for us warmer toned ladies out there if angel is too blue for you. I tried them both on and creme cup looked more flattering on my nc30-35 skin. I can see myself using this a TON. It just gives your lips this lovely baby pink look but it's definitely not OTT. I would for sure rebuy this one, I'm so happy it's permanent.

Picked this up for my bac2mac after hearing its praises on the board. :) Described as a light blue pink by MAC, I find it's comparable to Angel (soft pink) shade wise but easier to pull off for us warmer toned ladies. It's a soft baby rose pink.

I agree that's it's not completely warm, I can see the blue undertones in this but they are not overwhelming which keeps this from being a completely cool shade. I think neutral and warmer toned ladies will really like this shade, if Angel was completely unwearable for you, check out Creme Cup. Also since it's a cremesheen formula, it's more moisturizing than some of MAC's other formulas (like Angel which is a frost).

For reference, I'm NC30-35ish (strong yellow undertones) Shell in Chanel T.I., #3 in GA face fabric, #32 in MUFE f & b, and 127 in MUFE HD.

This lipstick is described as a "light blue pink" on the MAC website. When it first came out and I saw swatches on it online I was hesitant to buy it because I thought it would be too blue on my med-fair olive complexion. However, after trying it out I really liked it. On me, it's a rose pink, I can see a hint of blue in that it's not a warm pink, but it's not too cool at all. The color payoff is good and the lasting power is ok. It's not drying, but I usually use a chapstick under it, as I do with all my lipsticks. The only thing I don't like is that it has very fine "glitter" in it, which means that if I don't exfoliate my lips perfectly, or, if I try to touch it up during the day without wiping the previous coat off my lips, it can go on grainy, which is why I'm taking one lippie off. However, this hasn't kept me from reaching for it a lot. I would probably repurchase when I ran out because I really like the color. Wish it came in an amplified creme formula though.

At first I loved this lipstick. The shade is still to die for, if not just a wee bit TOO pink. There is glitter in the formula so the application is a little grainy. I didn't notice this when I first tried it on, otherwise I would not have purchased. It also melts easily. Sadly, all MAC lipsticks tend to do this to me. For a product of this caliber, you'd think MAC would have found a way to make their lipsticks solid enough to not break and melt so easily.. it does smell like cake batter!

Wow i am so surprised. When i first opened the tube i thought WTF its kind of a peach color. But once i applied it to my pigmented lips, it turned this slight toned down barbie doll pink. Its soo gorgeous & it smells like cup cake batter! I thought adding even MORE pink onto my head would look strange but it somehow works. I will use up this baby super fast.

Just RIS and I am so glad that I did!! At first I was turned off by how peachy it was in the tube, but I tried it any way and it was perfect!!!! No peach showed up just pink....This is what I have been looking for the perfect pink, not to Barbie and not Grandma either. I normaly wear Fabby and Syrup so I wanted to get away from those and I could never find what I was looking for a sexy, clasy pink and this was it.
For references I am NW20/25 with blues eyes and blonde hair.
Get this color you will be glad you did.

okay, i think only select girls can wear this. i personally love it but i am INCREDIBLY pale with both yellow and pink undertones. the texture is silky and hydrating. have super pigmented lips and this gave me that soft baby pink look. not 80's baby pink. just natural 'its your wedding day' baby pink. its definitely something i could wear everyday and would look AMAZING with a bold eye.
with that said, ive tried it on a lot of my friends who aren't pale, and who dont have pigmented lips, and this pretty much didnt show up AT ALL on their lips.

I just bought this one yesterday and already fell in love with it! I was asking the MA to find a lightly nude pink natural color. First she recommended me the Viva Glam but I already have that one so she gave me this. She knows that I have very red lips so I need something that is pigmented enough and would neutralize my lip color. I put it in, and instantly fell in love with it! It just looks so right on my lip, very very natural and pretty. I bought it right away without a second thought! the formula is as great as always, nice smell and moisturizing enough. My HG lipstick!

I bought this lipstick after reading all the reviews cus i was honestly just gonna stick to my Lavendar Whip, but I am so0o0o happy i didnt. This color is a beautiful pale pink. I am a C6 and if i put to much on it will be too nude for my complexion. I put on the right amount and its beautiful. Since it is from the creme sheen collection its very smooth and creamy. I feel like this could be worn along with no l.g cus of the texture. It has the same nice vanilla scent as all the MAC Lipsticks.

I put a little Love Nectar on top and im good to go.

I swapped for this based on the reviews here. Several positive reviews came from ladies with complexions darker than mine (I'm NC 20), so I assumed this would be ok for me. Unfortunately it was too sheer, so it became a weird ugly mix of lipstick + original lip colour. I can use lipliner or even concealer to correct this, but I expected this lippie to be more pigmented, so I'm marking it down.

Update: I read a few more other reviews and found that buried at the back were several reviews that mentioned that this lippie turns purple on the lips, altho there's no purple when swatching. They're RIGHT. This looks awful on me :(

Creme Cup is just as pretty as its name. It is such a complimentary pink/peach shade. Its consintancy is very pigmented, creamy and smooth. Its sheer enough so that your natural lip color doesnt look to washed out, it just gives you a very natural pinky nude color, its just perfect for everyday wear but also for the "smokey" eyes look with lovely nude lips.
