Estee Lauder Naked Truth, Flash Nude, Languid Love Hi-Lustre Light Sculpting Lipsticks

Naked Truth

Estee Lauder Naked Truth Hi-Lustre Light Sculpting 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.

Flash Nude

Estee Lauder Flash Nude Hi-Lustre Light Sculpting 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 Light Sculpting 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.
