Estee Lauder Unrivaled & Tenacious Pure Color Envy Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Unrivaled (213)

Estee Lauder Unrivaled (213) Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium pink with strong, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had medium color coverage that didn’t build up much beyond that. The texture was lightly creamy, moderately emollient but not slippery, and lightweight, which made it comfortable to wear. There was a bit of streakiness, though not enough to be noticeable in person, and it wasn’t as smoothing of lip lines as other shades have been in this formula. It stayed on well for four and a half hours and felt hydrating over time.

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.

Tenacious (527)

Estee Lauder Tenacious (527) Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark mauve with neutral-to-warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single stroke, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging. The consistency felt lightweight, creamy without being too emollient or too slippery, and didn’t emphasize my lip lines. It wore nicely for five hours and felt moisturizing while worn.
