Estee Lauder Covetous Nude, Furious, Neon Azalea, Pure Matte Sculpting Lipsticks

Estee Lauder Covetous Nude Pure Matte Sculpting Lipstick

Estee Lauder Covetous Nude Pure Matte Sculpting Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, light-medium peachy brown with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had full color coverage with a light-medium weight consistency that felt creamy applied, so it didn’t tug at the lips. The color seemed to “crack” as the color pulled away, possibly due to the slightly thicker, creamier texture. It wore for four hours on me, but the color settled into lip lines considerably. At least it wasn’t drying! MAC Pillow Talk (LE, $17.00) is glossier (90% similar). Urban Decay Stark Naked (P, $22.00) is lighter (90% similar). NARS Biscayne Park (P, $25.00) is lighter (90% similar). NARS Isola Bella (P, $25.00) is lighter, brighter (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Estee Lauder Furious Pure Matte Sculpting Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a brightened, medium coral-orange with warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had rich, oppaque pigmentation that covered the lips evenly and looked smooth applied. The consistency wasn’t too thick or too thin, and it didn’t feel clingy, despite being one of the more matte shades in the range. It lasted for six hours on me, and it was just a smidgen hydrating all in all. Bite Beauty Peche (P, $24.00) is darker, more muted (90% similar). MAC Toxic Tale (LE, $17.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar). Hourglass Muse (P, $28.00) is darker, cooler, less glossy (85% similar). Clinique Poppy Pop (P, $18.00) is darker (85% similar). Bite Beauty Cin Cin (P, $24.00) is lighter, warmer (85% similar). Urban Decay Tilt (P, $22.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar).

Estee Lauder Neon Azalea Pure Matte Sculpting Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a brightened, light-medium fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a satin finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation with a thinner texture that had a very velvety, smooth feel as it applied to the lips. I expected it to have a very matte finish as a result, but it still ended up to be more of a satin-like finish. It wore for six hours on me and left a stain behind, and the formula was neither drying nor hydrating. Urban Decay Anarchy (P, $22.00) is darker (95% similar). NARS Michiyo (P, $32.00) is more muted (95% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Electric Pink (15) (P, $50.00) is less glossy (95% similar).

FORMULA SUMMARY | Estee Lauder Pure Color Matte Sculpting Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a new formula that features “rich saturated color” with a matte finish that is “luxuriously comfortable.” The formula is comfortable to wear with a light-medium weight consistency that is creamy and smooth with good pigmentation, though some shades are more pigmented than others. They’re more semi-matte to satin, so keep that in mind on whether it aligns with your preference for mattes. They feel slightly hydrating to not drying for the most part. They reminded me of formulas like MAC’s newer Mattes, Urban Decay Matte Revolution, and NARS Audacious.
