Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro and Ecstasy Lacquer
March 16, 2016
I love a bold lip year round and these Giorgio Armani lip products let me have my bold color with comfort and hydration!
Their Lip Maestro has been out for a few years now. The color is very pigmented, the velvet, cream finish makes your lips look flawless! I love 401 - Tibetan Orange, it is a true red-orange shade that looks amazing on warm skin tones! I wore it without a liner and didn’t experience any bleeding. I had some transfer and it wore for maybe two hours before I needed a touch up, however, even the longest-wearing lip products don’t last for me!
Giorgio Armani’s newer release, Ecstasy Lacquer, is proof that gloss is back in a big way! Considered a high gloss lip stain, this product isn’t sticky and feels like a lipstick! The color, not as pigmented as the Lip Maestro, is slightly sheer and required a couple coats to get a solid shade. It is super comfortable on the lips and had great wear (even for me!) but did transfer slightly. I think in the future, I would use less for a more soft stain, especially with a bold color such as the No 400 that I used here. But I am obsessed with the feel of this lip color! Living in the desert, I can’t handle dry lipstick! This shade is a cooler tone red, almost a slight berry, that is great on any skin tone!
