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.

  • Product: 29/30
  • Value: 8/10
  • Ease of Use: 4/5
  • Packaging: 4/5

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.

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.

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.

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 🙂

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)
