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.

I think I’ll have to pick this one up!
Angel is in my top 10! One of my absolute faves 🙂
I’ve been waiting for this one to pop in The Spring Season, lol. 😛
Love this color! It’s my go to pale pink slightly cool lip.
My first MAC lipstick ever and still one of my faves. I wonder how this lipstick got labeled as a “frost” ‘cos it’s not frosty at all like their other frost lipsticks.
I agree… it’s so not a frost finish!
One of my first MAC lipsticks too. I love Angel! 🙂
it’s my 1st MAC lipstick n i love Angel too =)
a frost that does not have a frost finish LOL
Tell me about it! It’s not frosty at ALL!
Love this! I wear Angel almost every day. I extra love it because it’s my name, too 🙂
this is such a pretty pink lipstick! i might have to pick it up in addition to the other lipsticks and lipglosses from the spring color forcast this week.
This looks gorgeous!
Angel is really pretty but Bombshell is my all-time absolute favorite of the softer pink lipsticks from MAC. Love it, love it, love it! 🙂
You don’t find Bombshell too bright? I love Bombshell myself, but I feel like it’s more of a bright pink than a soft pink.
the color is looking so preety on u … this one is fav of kim kardashian paired with nars turkish delight but i wonder its looking more beautiful on u …IMO
its one of my fav pinks … nudes i must say pls tell me what lip gloss would u prefer with this one ???
u know christine i have started liking light pinks and corals only because of u … earlier infact my hubby didnt liked those colors on me but the ones u suggested me have worked really well…
i bought these colors ( angel, bombshel , nymphette,lychee luxe, sweetie, naked , lustering ) after reading from here and m so happy with the results…
i have vegas volt can u tell me what other permanent coral color is good or any new coral would u suggest ??
Hey Rashmi!
I like it with Nymphette and Luminary! (But I love Luminary with everything!)
I don’t love MAC’s permanent corals… they’re just not great. CB96 has a nice color, but it’s so frosty. See Sheer is OK, but it’s pretty bright (like a pinker Vegas Volt). You might want to check out the new coral lipsticks from Spring Colour Forecast! Those are fun 🙂
This is a must for me and will be going into my collectionthis week.
This is one of my favourite lipsticks of all time! 🙂
This is the lipstick that kim kardashian wears.
This is sooo pretty. It’s also one of kim kardashian’s faves, for those who like her makeup, like I do. 🙂
She wears it with Nars Turkish Delight lipgloss.
on the Mac website it says the ” angel” lipstick is frosted? looks great on you though
I really love this colour!
And I think it has a great coverage on your lips.
But unfortunately my lips are verry pigmented.
This was my first Mac lipstick. I love it!
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?
Pretty and it is permanent, so I can pick it up anytime. 🙂
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…
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.
Ooh, very pretty! 🙂
I just bought this one. I had to get used to the no shimmer/sheen thing but it’s really pretty.
Love it , very natural pinky color , I got it from Back2MAC
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=
one of kim kardashians favorites!
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?
I wear Angel everyday! I love it!!!!!
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.
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.
Thats a really nice soft pink
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.
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?
I have this lipstick!! It’s so cute I love it 🙂
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 🙂
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 can i have this angel lipstick.!finally i have found it.!
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
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!
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!
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 🙂
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

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!
is this good for everyday im young yolo
I have this one! I was so excited to get it…I’m disappointed because it does not look so good on me… 🙁
