No matter how MANY nude lipsticks I purchase every year, there’s always another and another AND ANOTHER nude lipstick to get my hands on! Is it just me? or you guys feel the same way too? I’m sure there’s more than one nude lipstick in your makeup stash! Well.. you’re not alone! ME TOO! The Estée Lauder Perfect Pair Nude Lipsticks are part of my latest nude lipstick collection!
I recently picked them up on my trip to Sephora. You can check out my Sephora haul HERE. The sparkly pink packaging with it’s limited edition metallic cases was right up my alley! And just like a magpie attracted to beautiful shiny things.. it went straight into my shopping basket! Here is my review on them including shade swatches!
The Estée Lauder Perfect Pair Nude Lipsticks comes in a set of TWO FULL SIZE LIPSTICKS in a gorgeous metallic packaging to match the colour of the lipsticks in the tube! The two shades are:
Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick in Discreet
This lipstick is the Perfect Nude Pink – “Your Lips But Better” colour! Besides loving this shade, I HAVE to talk about this lipstick formula! It’s a full on creme finish with medium to full coverage. It’s multi-faceted pigments used in their lip colours melded together with a smooth hydrating creme finish help creates a beautifully defined and luscious full lips.
The lipstick goes on smoothly, it’s creamy formula gliding across my lips effortlessly! mind you, I have pretty dry and cracked lips all the time! so I was delightfully surprised when my lips were instantly hydrated, lines filled AND I got almost full coverage with the first swipe! It was luxury at it’s finest! The case was weighted and had a magnetic cap which click’s to close instantly! Also, The lipstick bullet fits the curves of my lips perfectly!
It claims to have about 8 hours of wear time but I’m not too sure about that. It was definitely long lasting, however a quick touch up after lunch is a must! In any case, it was just a treat to whip this out of my makeup bag and reapply my lip colour, so no complains here!

This lipstick is a lovely peachy nude with golden shimmers! The lipstick formula is different from the Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick. It has a shimmer finish with a light to medium coverage. However, the creamy, smooth, hydrating texture is still present! Which I’m in love with!
This almost feels like a tinted lipbalm to me! The colour is not as saturated as their Pure Colour Envy Sculpting lipstick but colour pay off is still there! This is not a long lasting lipstick so constant re-application is very much required here! I love wearing this lipstick on days where I have minimal makeup! I’ll also pop some of it on the apples of my cheeks to bring life back to my complexion as well!
These lipsticks are my first Estée Lauder lipsticks BUT FOR SURE it’s NOT gonna be the last time I’ll purchase them! Both lipstick formulas feels great on the lips and the packaging is pure luxury!
It’s currently retailing for £27.00 in the UK, S$52 SGD in Singapore and about $30 USD in the US. For your convenience, you can shop my post my clicking on the icons in “Shop My Post” carousel!
