Naked Truth
Estee Lauder Naked Truth Hi-Lustre Pure Color Envy Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a brighter, medium pink-coral with a golden, frosted shimmer. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage that applied evenly and smoothly across the lips without dragging. The consistency was smooth, lightweight, clingy without being drying or uncomfortable, and didn’t slide around. This shade lasted for four and a half hours on me and was moisturizing.
The formula is supposed to have medium coverage with a lustrous finish. It takes the Pure Color Envy formula and adds shimmer to it with the end result varying from lightly pearlized to more frosted and near-metallic. The shimmer was finer in size, so the lipsticks did not feel gritty on the lips, and the particles didn’t migrate as the lipstick wears down. The coverage was more semi-opaque to opaque, though a lighter hand could achieve medium coverage. It was lightly creamy with some slip that became more noticeable as the formula warmed up against the lips. The wear ranged from four to six hours and was typically hydrating. The formula featured a vanilla scent but had no discernible taste.

Formula Overview
$32.00/0.12 oz. - $266.67 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have medium coverage with a lustrous finish. It took the Pure Color Envy formula and added shimmer to it with the end result varying from lightly pearlized to more frosted and near-metallic. The shimmer was finer in size, so the lipsticks did not feel gritty on the lips, and the particles didn’t migrate as the lipstick wore down.
The coverage ranged from semi-sheer to nearly opaque, so it really depended on the shade on how true it was to medium coverage. The formula felt lightly creamy, thinner but not clingy, and with just enough slip to be comfortable to apply and to wear without feeling slippery during wear. The shades lasted from four to six hours and usually hydrating while worn.
The formula had a vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Flash Nude
Estee Lauder Flash Nude Hi-Lustre Pure Color Envy Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium, rosy brown with warm undertones and a barely-there golden sheen. It was one of the less shimmery shades I’ve encountered within the Hi-Lustre range. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly, though there was a bit of color that gathered in some of my deeper lip lines, which wasn’t too noticeable except in a magnifying mirror. The texture was lightweight, emollient enough that it glided on without tugging, and was comfortable to wear. It lasted well for four hours and was lightly hydrating.

Languid Love
Estee Lauder Hi-Lustre Pure Color Envy Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium, peachy brown with strong, warm orange undertones and gold shimmer. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly across the lips. The lipstick felt smooth, creamy enough not to tug, but it clung to lips (in a good way!) and did not slide around while worn. The color wore nicely for four and a half hours on me.

Naked Truth is stunning!
Agreed!
Ohh I like all of these. Look at Estee Lauder stepping their game up!
They must have success with the new formula, since they added like 60 shades across the two types!
not my colors but glad they scored well
Always like seeing quality products!
Naked Truth is lovely. Can’t wait to swatch it in person, though if it’s really hard to find I’ll probably order it online, which I almost never do without swatching first.
I hope you can find it in person, AB!
Yes Sir and thank you Ma’am to Naked Truth! Next month this one will be mine! I had a chance to swatch it on the back of my hand Thursday night, and even though it’s quite light, I think it will still look wonderful on me because it has dimension to it.
But while the 2nd two look good on you, I have a gut feeling they are just too light for me, unless I wore darker liner and a lipgloss, which pretty much defeats the purpose of buying a HE lipstick. But, I do wish I could wear Languid Love!
Ooh, glad you were able to see Naked Truth in person, Nancy!
Flash Nude is so pretty on you!! 😀
Aw, thanks Shannon!
I’m in love with how Naked Truth looks on you so I’ve got to have it!
Thank you, Betty!
I like Naked Truth – maybe enough to buy it! Yes, I think I will.
It is a pretty shade!
Love these colors and looks. They’re right up my alley!
Yay 😀
All a bit off for me, but lovely. I love the finish!
The finishes are nice!
