MAC Lipstick in Creme Cup

MAC Creme Cup is a cult shade, listed on the MAC website as one of their bestselling shades. After reading about it on several blogs I was going to buy either this or Hue. Creme Cup comes housed in typical black MAC packaging. It's classic and a lot of people love it, though personally I'm not a fan. Once you own about five MAC lipsticks or more, hunting for the right shade can become a nightmare, as every single one of them looks the same from the outside. The little black bullets also remind me of something naughty, but that's just my dirty mind, surely... Creme Cup is a light blue toned pink which looks very pale and milky on the lips. It may be a nude shade for some, though for me it's not a shade I could just apply on the go without a mirror, as it's so much lighter than my natural lip colour.

The blue undertones seem to come out a lot more in natural light, whereas the flash highlights the milky, creamy texture. I find Cremesheen finishes very pleasant to wear once you get through the hard glaze they seem to be covered in. The lipstick lasts an average of four hours, doesn't dry my lips out and leaves a delicate shine on the lips.Thanks to its obvious pink-ness there's not much danger of veering into corpse-lips territory. I guess it could look tacky on overly orange fake-tanned skin (but then again, what wouldn't?), but apart from that it's a flattering shade that will suit a multitude of make-up looks. I'd say its cult status is very much deserved! The only downside is the price tag but i guess its a good investment
