Hey there, my fellow lipstick lovers! Today, we’re diving deep into one of MAC’s most beloved lipstick formulas—the luscious Cremesheen. As a self-professed lipstick junkie, I’ve tried my fair share of bullets, and let me tell you, these beauties are something special. But don’t just take my word for it; I’ve scoured through dozens of customer reviews to bring you the real tea on what makes Cremesheen a must-have in any lipstick wardrobe.
The Cremesheen Formula: Creamy, Dreamy, and Oh-So-Moisturizing
Let’s start with what sets Cremesheen apart from other lipstick formulas out there: the texture. Reviewer after reviewer raved about how incredibly creamy and moisturizing these lipsticks feel on the lips. As one happy customer gushed, “This lipstick feels like a lip balm and it is so comfortable to wear. It’s hydrating, creamy, and very pigmented.” Another wrote, “I love how moisturizing this lipstick is. It keeps my lips soft.”
What’s the secret to Cremesheen’s lush texture? It’s all in the formula, which is enriched with emollient ingredients that help the lipstick glide on smoothly and keep your lips feeling soft and supple for hours. Say goodbye to dry, flaky lips and hello to a pretty pout that feels as good as it looks.
Of course, comfort means nothing if the lipstick doesn’t perform. But never fear—Cremesheen has you covered on that front too. The lipstick applies very smoothly and is moisturizing,” one reviewer noted approvingly. “I love everything about this lipstick! The way it applies, the color choices and its staying power make it a great addition to my makeup bag,” raved another. With Cremesheen, you get the best of both worlds: a lipstick that feels amazing on and actually lasts.
A Rainbow of Wearable Shades for Every Mood and Skin Tone
Speaking of color choices, let’s talk about Cremesheen’s shade range. With dozens of hues to choose from, there’s truly something for everyone, whether you’re a nude lip aficionado or a bold red devotee. The great thing about Cremesheen is that the colors are both wearable and beautiful. These aren’t your typical wishy-washy sheers or in-your-face brights; they’re pigmented yet natural-looking shades that enhance your natural beauty.
As one reviewer put it, “This shade is so pretty, it’s a golden brown shade and it is creamy and long wearing.” Another happy customer gushed about Brave, writing, “Brave is such a great color. It looks good on and it is easily blended with soar or whirl lip liners to pair with.” And let’s not forget the perfect pink lovers out there. “Fanfare is a gorgeous shade of pink,” one reviewer noted. “Layer with cultured!”
But the real magic of Cremesheen lies in its versatility. These lipsticks look amazing on a wide range of skin tones, from the fairest of the fair to the deepest of the deep. As one woman of color wrote, “I’m NW50 and this serves as a pink-dominant nude and needs a liner like Chestnut to really make it pop. With Spite lipgloss on top, it is a killer pinkish nude look.” Another reviewer commented, “This shade is absolutely beautiful, very warm toned, is so nice for any skin tone, I love it for myself.”
So whether you’re looking for an everyday neutral, a flirty pink, or a show-stopping red, Cremesheen has you covered. And with colors that work for every complexion, you can feel confident that you’ll find your perfect shade match.
The Staying Power of Cremesheen: Long-Lasting Lip Love
Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t talk about Cremesheen’s legendary staying power. For a lipstick that feels so lightweight and creamy, these bullets have some serious lasting power. “This is the only lipstick that suits my pale skin!!! Please restock this, I am begging you,” one devotee pleaded. “Very well pigmented, you need a light hand for application, or it can be too much for a simple look,” another advised.
But here’s the thing: even though Cremesheen is long-wearing, it never feels dry or uncomfortable on the lips. That’s because the formula is designed to moisturize and protect your pout, even as the color stays put. “It’s my favourite colour, perfect for summer,” one reviewer shared. “Also the texture is awesome, very moisturising and long-lasting.”
So if you’re looking for a lipstick that will take you from your morning coffee to your evening cocktails without constant touch-ups, Cremesheen is the way to go. Just apply, blend, and go about your day knowing your lip color will stay looking fresh and fabulous.
The Shades That Stood Out: Reviewer Favorites and Must-Haves
With so many gorgeous shades to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start with Cremesheen. That’s where reviewer recommendations come in handy. Here are some of the most-loved and most-mentioned Cremesheen shades, straight from the lips of real customers:

Of course, these are just a few of the many amazing shades in the Cremesheen range. Half the fun is trying out different colors and finding your own personal favorites. But if you’re looking for a place to start, you can’t go wrong with any of these tried-and-true hues.
The Packaging: Sleek, Chic, and Totally Instagrammable
Can we take a moment to appreciate Cremesheen’s packaging? The sleek black bullets with the signature MAC logo are the epitome of chic. They look as luxe as the lipstick inside feels, and they’re totally Instagram-worthy. I don’t know about you, but I love a lipstick that looks as good on my vanity as it does on my lips.
As one reviewer gushed, “MAC lipsticks are the best on the market, in my opinion, regardless of color.” It’s true—there’s something about pulling out a MAC lipstick that just feels special. And with Cremesheen’s pretty, semi-glossy finish, you’ll want to show off these bullets every chance you get.
The Bottom Line: Is MAC Cremesheen Lipstick Worth the Hype?
So, after reading dozens of glowing reviews and trying Cremesheen for myself, what’s my verdict? In a word: obsessed. This lipstick truly lives up to the hype, delivering everything you could want in a lip color: creamy texture, gorgeous pigmentation, long-lasting wear, and a finish that’s just glossy enough to be glamorous without veering into sticky territory.
Of course, no product is perfect, and there were a few minor quibbles amongst the reviews. A handful of customers noted that certain shades looked different in person than they did online, which is always a risk when buying makeup sight unseen. And one reviewer experienced her Cremesheens turning rancid after only 6 months, though that seemed to be an isolated incident.
But overall? The vast majority of reviewers were head-over-heels in love with their Cremesheens, and I can see why. These lipsticks are the real deal, combining everything we love about MAC (luxe packaging, high-quality formulas, a killer shade range) with the comfort and ease of a balmy, semi-sheer lip color.
As one longtime fan put it, “I have been wearing this lipstick for years. 5 Stars!! I receive so many compliments on this color. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a pink which matches so well with blond hair.” Another wrote, “I’ve tried MANY lipsticks over the years, and this is, by far, the BEST EVER!!! Beautiful color (Crème Cup) and beautiful finish! I ordered one to try, and have already ordered three more! Please don’t ever change or discontinue this lipstick and this color! If I could give it 10 stars, I would!”
And there you have it, my fellow lipstick lovers. If you’re looking for a luxurious, comfortable, and downright gorgeous lipstick that will take you from day to night and everything in between, look no further than MAC Cremesheen. With so many stunning shades to choose from and a formula that can’t be beat, these bullets are sure to become a staple in your lipstick wardrobe. So go ahead and treat yourself to a Cremesheen (or three). Your lips will thank you.
