Estee Lauder Wild Fire Pure Color Lipstick
Estee Lauder Spring 2011: Wild Fire
Estee Lauder Wild Fire Pure Color Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a deep orange with a hint of coral; it’s not your typical orange–it has more depth and interest to it. It’s not a neon orange, but this shade is certainly vibrant. It’s opaque in color coverage with a slight glossy finish. It really has impeccable coverage, though; very rich and requires no layering–one swipe and voila!
my thoughts on the formula: The coverage is excellent, and it feels lightweight despite its pigmentation. It’s also more moisturizing than your average lipstick, which makes it comfortable to wear. I get about five hours of wear with this shade in particular, because it is more pigmented. Estee Lauder’s lipsticks are scented with a lightly sweetened fig but are taste-free to me.

final thoughts: This will be flattering on medium-to-dark complexions with warm undertones, because it does lean warm and the vibrancy makes it most suitable to deeper skin tones. I do think that lighter skin tones can pull it off, but the importance of balance in the look will increase.

Product & Review FAQ
Where can I purchase Wild Fire? How much is it?
Nordstrom, $24.
Is it limited edition?
Yes.
Any dupes?
It's similar to Chanel Exotic--except deeper and more vibrant. Surprisingly not orange enough to compare to shades like MAC Morange and Neon Orange.
It looks reminds me of Mac Toxic Tale lipstick, gloMinerals passion fruit lipstick and Illamasqua Intense lipgloss in Mistress. How do they compare?
More orange!
I can't stay away from orange lipsticks, and I'm glad I've found a new one. They brighten my face more than any other color out there.
Love the lipstick , please can you tell me if this color is any closeto extravagant red from the holiday collecion thank you =)
Much more orange!
Wow, this looks like such a fun lipstick for spring and summer! Gorgeous! :)
ohh...been wanting a good orange lippie for a while.. and here is the perfect candidate!
Wow, this is gorgeous! Sadly, such a colour won´t suit me, but on you it´s wonderful!
LOVe!
gorgeous! on-lip swatch reminds me a lot of nyx round lipstick in femme, just a touch less brilliant.
wonderful colour
Is this wild fire or wild coral? I thought wild fire was a lot redder...
This is Wild Fire.
It looks like TOXIC TALE by MAC (Venomous Villains Collection) to me!!!
kinda "looks like" but trust me - this is WAY prettier! (the finish is nicer too) :)
wow that is seriously vivid. very flattering to warm coloring. I think this might go better with a deep green liner like the clinic shadow pencil or covet liner? (or the previously reviewed jealous jordana used as a liner, would be gorgeous together). or basic black liner if you wanted to tone down the brightness. I bet this could also be dabbed (lightly!) as a cream blush (but not with the lips too, which really don't need anything but liner and mascara)
Wow that seems To bê amazing, Would you comparé it To milani mango mango ?
I don't think I have that shade!
Ahhh this looks certainly gorgeous!!! And something that I could rock as well! Thank you Christine for this review :D
LOVE THIS COLOR!!!
What a neat color! I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a wearable orange or orange-red lipstick, this may be it! So glad you posted this, I'm going to have to go look at it now :)
How does this compare to MAC So Chaud or MAC Lady Danger? Besides the formula being matte?
I don't have either, sorry!
I have both Lady Danger and So Chaud, and I can tell you that they are very different from what I'm seeing in Christine's swatch of this, which is a very orange coral. Lady Danger is a very orange red, and So Chaud is a very red orange, they are both similar to eachother, but not to this EL. Hope this helps! BTW Christine, this is gorgeous! If I didn't already have an overload of brights I'd totally pick it up.
Thank you!
Just ordered this. I was waiting for Estee Lauder to email me when the collection was online in the UK but they hadn't yet and just wanted to check when it came out and it was there. I got this and Wild Violet as I've been yearning for that one since I saw the promo picture. Both of these colours look fantastic on you.
How similar is this shade to MAC Coral Polyp?
Less coral, more orange/red.
Orange and coral lipstick always looks good on you Christine!
I love EL color range! However, I honestly dislike their scent, very medicine-like!
i actually like the smell of their lipsticks! lol :) it's sweet and figgy :P
Haha me too actually; it surprised me at first but I grew to like it! I can see how it can be a love/hate fragrance, though.
Wow this looks great on you, a lovely wearable orange! What do you have on your eyes, they look great too!
Just the new violet liner from Estee Lauder!
wow super pretty liner... I thought it was the UD pencil
How long do these wear?
Hi Cynthia, In the post, I stated it wore for five hours.
It looks great on you. Could you recommend an orange lipstick for very light skin?
MAC Ravishing, which is a light orange!
gads! don't you LOVE?! this one is THE best of the four new lipsticks that came out. love it love it love it!
Beautiful! Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for sharing!
