This is my go to nude lip color! It suits medium to darker skin tones because it's a darker nude with hints of brown and pink. A lot of nude lipsticks wash me out but this doesn't. It goes on very creamy and I absolutely love it!

This is my favorite nude lipstick. I am NC 30 with very pigmented lips, but this is richly pigmented and opaque and covers the entire pigmentation. Does not make me look dead. It has a great lasting power too.Does last through meal and drinks. The color is peachy brown with a hint of pink.

Cherish & Brave New Bronze (LE) are almost identical colors that blend in beautifully with my C5/NC42 skin tone, without looking like I have concealer on my lips and both have Satin finishes. BUT, somehow Cherish doesn't feel as dry. For that reason alone, Cherish has replaced Brave Brave New Bronze as my HG nude. Plus, Cherish has the added bonus of being part of the permanent line. So, I don't have to worry about availability when I run out of my current tube.

I am always on the hunt for nude lipsticks. I have very fair, almost white skin, which makes it tricky to find a "nude" shade that doesn't wash me out, yet doesn't look orangey and fake. Cherish isn't really a nude shade on me, it's very much a peach color. 1 coat doesn't do much to cover my natural lip color, so I ended up putting on 3 coats to really get the pigment of the lipstick to show up. At that point, it was very peach, leaning brownish. It looked less pink than the picture shows. I still like it and think it'll look pretty for fall, but it's definitely not going in my nude lippie stash. It applies and wears very well and I love the scent. I won't repurchase but I'm happy to own it :)

A nude lipstick that doesn't make me look grey or dead is this really possible? yes it is lol I am olive skinned with naturally pigmented lips and it seems as if I would never find the nude lipstick that would suit me and having seen so many not so cute versions of girls doing the whole kim kardashian signature nude lips look I steered clear and opted for natural looking rosy browns (twig, brave, fast play, brick o la) or bold lips (s0 chaud, lady danger, up the amp, girl about town) etc. I rather look good in other colors than wear a hideous nude lipstick that doesn't suit me at all (no offense to kim k say what you want about her but the girl has perfected her nudey lips although her face is a bit cake at times lol), But anyways I took a trip to mac to get a replacement for brave and so chaud when i eyed cherish with a doubtful look debating when the mua decided to test it out and holy cow with a bit of gloss i have my nudey naked lips that look natural and not disgustingly milky or grey. She also suckered me into buying half and half over jubilee but that is going back tomorrow as I do believe jubilee would be a better call. Overall nice color, great wear time, whats not to like? if you are tanned/olive skinned with pigmented lips try this its great!

I said no to repurchasing because i don't think i will ever finish it.

Best nudey peach color for tan skin! It lasts for ages on the lips, but it's a bit drying ^_^

I've been wearing this most days for about a year or so now. Prior to Cherish, I had a love-affair with Gel that lasted five years. I still enjoy using Gel here and there, but, as I said, most of my days are Cherish days. The color is so hideous in the tube: sort of a muted, pink-y beige with an ashen, almost unhealthy brown aspect; on the lips, though, this warms up and, despite its punch of color, it so resembles the shade of my unadorned lip that for me it's a perfect nude. Bottom line: if they were to discontinue this, I'd stock up on twenty or thirty tubes: it's that perfect for my complexion (pale Middle-Eastern with lots of gold undertones (NC20 in MAC-parlance)) and choices in eye-makeup (shimmery browns, the Sixties eyeline (done in brown liner and lashes, though, not black). Fabulous!

I've been wearing Cherish on & off for years now & I have always loved it. With just a thin line of Spice lipliner (or any other nude liner) it is just the right amount of pale pink & as I have porcelain white skin, it does not was me out or look too nude, it is the perfect pale pink to give you that 60s look in a very modern way (you won't feel like you're playing Mad Men dress-up in it). I think it all depends on the liner but for a pale pink lipstick, you can't beat it.

Originally had the same disappointing experience as reviewer "makeupphd" below. On my NC40 skin, this made me look very tired and washed out. I bought it to pair with a classic smoky eye and get the j.lo look. However, my lips are pigmented and a mauvey-pink colour so this was unnaturally nude on me. I sheered it out, however, and it gave my lips a pink-nude tint without washing me out too much. More importantly, applied with a lighter hand, it didn't make my lips the same tone as my skin, which is not a look I'm fond of (think the 60's look). I really like this now and it's perfectly fine to wear with MAC Warm Soul mineralize blush on my cheeks and a one-colour smoky eye using UD Gunmetal blended thoroughly into the outer corner and crease and lots of smoked-out black eyeliner. Now I can finally get that sexy classic smoky-eye-muted/nude-lip look. It is a satin finish, which leaves a tiny bit of gloss, and I prefer that over a totally matte pink-nude. I can always step up the shine by a simple clear gloss over it, and I prefer that over a coloured/shimmery gloss in this case because I don't want to detract from the dramatic eye look I usually wear with it. May not repurchase, at least for a long time...I'll try other nude shades, and I don't wear it that often. Good quality lipstick overall.

I love this lipstick! The color is fantastic, and you have to realize that it does NOT look the same on everyone, it gives me a nude-ish look with pink undertones whereas it gives my mom a beige-pink look. Will buy again and I recommend it to anyone who's looking for a nice nude-ish color!

I was originally very disappointed when I first got this product bc I felt it gave me that dead-concealer look. I was going to return it, but played around with it to see if I could make it work. Now, I actually like it a lot! Firstly, do not wear without other makeup! if my skin is looking pale and i've got no eyeshadow on, this looks ghastly. however, if I have some bronzer and/or blush, it's good. and if I have a dark e/s look, it's also awesome. An extra trick is using a lipgloss- if you're a tan individual and you wana pull off the very nude look, you need gloss to soften out the starkness of colors like this one on our skin. Once I figured these things out, I really found I enjoy this lipstick and can wear it when I don't want a lip color to clash with a e/s look or when I want a fleshy stand out pout ;)

I love this lipstick! It's the perfect nude lipstick....definitely pick it up if you have a similar skin tone to mine (Mac C4).

This is a great product I love the smell. The color payoff is great and it does well with my tanned skin. This is the perfect nude on me I always like to top it of with a pinky or peachy lipgloss.

This is actually my first MAC lipstick purchase and I love the colour! I don't have any shades like this so I bought one and I'm very happy with it :) The reason why I would not buy the product again is because I would like to buy other MAC lipsticks ~

This shade reminds me of MAC's Velvet Teddy except it's a lot lighter and more peachy-beige in tone. It works better with my complexion when I don't have too much of a tan (nc35-37 winter, nc42 summer for reference). During the summer when I'm darker, it tends to wash me out a bit. Also because I have pigmented lips, the color comes off a bit peachy brown as opposed to peachy pink. Still, I can make it work with a little pinky gloss over it. I took off a lippie because I don't often reach for it when I have a tan. Staying power is pretty good and I can get 3-4 hrs of wear without eating/drinking. As with most of MAC's satin finishes, coverage is almost full. Does not leave my lips feeling dry or chapped when it does wear off which is always a plus since I hate dry lips. Overall, one of my favorite nude/neutral colors but not HG. Will probably repurchase.

This was my first MAC lipstick and the quality is great. It is highly pigmented and a light pinkish nude on me. I use it a lot and mix it with other lipsticks and I am very happy. I wouldn't buy this again because I feel that the light pink part isn't very flattering on me and I would probably buy a less pink nude.

More a nude on me than a pink.....I have Hug Me and found that too pink so I wanted a true nude. I currently have dyed orange/auburn hair (and NW20 skin and fairly pigmented lips) and find it hard to wear most colour lipsticks but this one is great.

I LOVE the colour of this lipstick, the only problem I have with it is the staying power, I am on the quest for a longlasting lipstick an to be very honest didn't think it lasted long enough for the price you pay, but I will forgive MAC for the gorgeous colour and lovely packaging :)
