Estee Lauder Peerless, Truth Talking, Undefeated Pure Color Envy Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Peerless
Estee Lauder Peerless Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium brown with subtle, warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had excellent pigmentation that applied evenly and comfortably across my lips as it did not drag or tug. The texture felt lightweight with enough slip to glide on but didn’t feel slippery while worn and smoothed out some of my lip lines. It lasted well for five hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview
$32.00/0.12 oz. - $266.67 Per Ounce
The Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick formula is supposed to have “high-intensity color” in a "single stroke" that "glides on effortlessly" and has "six hour" wear. More recent copy of the formula has been more specific as it having "medium-to-full coverage."
Most shades in the range are lightweight, creamy with moderate slip with semi-opaque to opaque coverage that wears four to seven hours. The formula tends to sit well on lips and either gives the illusion of plumpness or smooths out lip lines slightly. It's also hydrating while worn.
They are vanilla-scented but have no discernible taste.

Truth Talking
Estee Lauder Truth Talking Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light brown with moderate, warm undertones and a lightly glossy, cream finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging.
The texture was lightweight, creamy without being too thick or too emollient, so it didn’t build up in my lip lines noticeably and was comfortable to wear. It stayed on nicely for five hours and felt hydrating over time.

Undefeated
Estee Lauder Undefeated Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep, reddened plum with subtle, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had nearly opaque color payoff in one stroke, which delivered even coverage that didn’t emphasize my lip lines–it seemed to smooth out a lot of them, actually!
The consistency was lightly creamy, dense without being too firm and still glided well across my lips. The color wore well for six hours, left a bit of a stain behind, and felt moisturizing while worn.

As much as Truth Talking is calling to me, I know that I need another nude lipstick like I need a hole in the head! But it is so beautiful looking that I just don’t know if I can resist it.
Peerless also caught my eye, but I have a few of the listed dupes for that one, so I’m good.
Ooh! Truth Talking is a color that piques my interest. Whenever it’s safe to check out testers in store again (if ever) I’ll definitely have to check it out.
Truth Talking is so beautiful, will pick it up at the mall.
Estee would be 113, were she alive today. Now that’s a real influencer. Suspect she’d be proud of the empire today. EL has been a queen of lip for over half a century. Now that’s a legacy.
TIL!
The browny and nude shaded lipsticks don’t do anything for me, but Undefeated is a beautiful plum/berry shade.
