MAC Angel Lipstick
The Spring Season: MAC Angel Lipstick
MAC Angel Lipstick ($14.00) is a softened, pale rosy pink that’s not quite “milky pink,” but it comes close. It has a very creamy look with a light, glossy sheen but no shimmer or frostiness whatsoever. It gives lips a semi-sheer to semi-opaque coverage, but those with more pigmented lips may find their lips still look quite red underneath this pink. On my lips, it’s a pretty pink that enhances my natural lip color and doesn’t look too pale. The lipstick is vanilla scented and comes in classic black packaging and a fairly affordable price tag of just $14.
Is this the right pink lipstick for you? Would you wear it?
The Spring Season is a series of posts featuring my favorite soft beige, coral, and pink lipsticks and lipglosses — all perfect for the first blossom of spring — that runs through March 2010.

Christine, How and what do you use to apply your lipsticks with? It looks so flawless & do you do anything prior to prep the lip for lipstick application?
From the tube - I don't do any prep for lip swatches!
Do you blot it on or do you just swipe it on?
I apply it from the tube - no special technique!
sorry! my ipad is crazy! LOL¡
i love this lipstick!<3 but i dont know what pink shade match me! can you help? i have brown eyes, brown hair, medium skin tone, thanks a lot btw i love youu swatches at all!
sorry i have light/ medium skin tone(;
i love this lipstick! but i dont know what pink shade match me! can you help? i have brown eyes, brown hair, medium skin tone, thanks a lot btw i love youu swatches at all!
Angel would look good on your skin tone, because you're light/medium!
comparison with bombshell please... thanks :)
They're nothing alike.
Christine, would you recommend for NC45, Im trying to decide between Angel or Creme Cup....but I am undecided.....and I don't really feel like going to the Mac Counter, lol
Angel
This was my first MAC lipstick :) I love it. And, unlike most people, I actually love that it's a frost. I don't know why but wearing pink frosts in the winter is really cute I think :)
Christine, do you think it's similar to MAC To the beach lazy day lipstick? Because now i wriley wanna that lipstick, but it's sold out everywhere, so i'm search'ing the similar one.
It is similar -- a wee bit pinker!
would you recommend this for an NC35 skintone? or what other pink colour could you recommend?
It'd be nice, but I'd opt for Sweetie or Speed Dial, I think!
I ordered this lipstick because I read Kim Kardashian loves this color. I would definitely exfoliate your lips before applying, you can see any flaws. I feel like this color washes me out and I feel the need to apply a lipgloss over it with more color
how can i have this angel lipstick.!finally i have found it.!
hey Christine, would you recommend angel or lazy day from to the beach to someone with nc40 skin? or what soft pink would you recommend?
Lazy Day!
how does this compare to st germain and lollipop loving?
Not at all, IMO! This is not as pale as Saint Germain and not at all like Lollipop Loving, which is more of a coral.
I just bought this lipstick tonight at my local mac counter! It was sold out online and I couldn't wait to buy it...lol. My lips are pretty pigmented so it doesn't look as light on me but it still looks amazing!
i loe this lipstick i already have creme cup and i was just wondering what the differences between them are Christine??
They're similar - I think Creme Cup might be a little lighter.
Angel looks great on you Christine. Angel and Creme Cup are my 2 go to cool light pinks. I love angel with Turkish Delight and smokey eyes.
Oh , i have this lipstick , but I don't wear it because it looks too pale on my lips since my lips are pigmented . Do you have any suggestions ? Thanks Christine ! <3
You could try pairing it with a brighter gloss :)
I have this lipstick!! It's so cute I love it :)
Oh how I wanted this color to work on me but as you said, those with pigmented lips will not get the true pink. On me it turned a little to bright. Probably a true barbie pink on me while I wanted it to be how it appears on your lips. =( Still on the hunt for a perfect pinky nude. Any suggestions?
Angel is my fave lipstick after creme d'nude/myth. I can rock it with a bold look, or if i'm going for a cute "natural" look then this is always my go to.
Thats a really nice soft pink
Christine, how would you compare this to mac creme cup? i hope that's coming up for the spring season!
Similar - I think Creme Cup is a little lighter.
This is the MAC lipstick I've been dying to buy for a long time. Thanks for posing this, this just reassured me that I really need this lipstick lol.
I wear Angel everyday! I love it!!!!!
Angel look slightly purple on me :( Could you recommend a colour close to Angel but with less purple/mauve undertones so it would look just pink :) ?
Maybe Creme Cup or Plink?
one of kim kardashians favorites!
Amazing color. This was actualy my very first mac lipstick and is probably responsable for me getting into mac. But this is not a frost at all. Actualy for about a year I thought I owned no mac frosts... This I realized this was O=
Love it , very natural pinky color , I got it from Back2MAC
I just bought this one. I had to get used to the no shimmer/sheen thing but it's really pretty.
Ooh, very pretty! :)
This lipstick looks so pale on me. Unfortunately it's one of those lipsticks I can't wear on it's own. It swatches really pretty on my hand, but once it's on my lips I look scary! Hahah.
I have this, but feel I can't pull it off so I never wear it. Since we have the same coloring, maybe I should check it out again...
Pretty and it is permanent, so I can pick it up anytime. :)
i have angel lipstick, but when i put it on lips directly it sometimes comes out cakey and not smooth on my lips even if i put vaseline 10 minutes prior applying. What do you do to make your application so smooth?? Thanks! :)
Do you exfoliate or scrub your lips, Lana?
