Giorgio Armani Lip Power Longwear Vivid Color Lipstick (#404 Tempting)

I purchased this item at Sephora. I had a hard time deciding on giving this 3 or 4 stars. This is not and not advertised as being transfer proof. This is the Armani lip power long lasting satin lipstick in the shade selfless (104). The color is lovely, it’s a lighter pink with warm undertones and a medium amount of pigment. It’s buildable to semi opaque. The formula is smooth and easy to apply. I personally don’t love a tacky, clingy sensation to my lip products. This is a personal preference so I decided not to take anything off for that. It does tend to settle and emphasize lip lines. This shade more so than. A few others I tried. It has a little lasting power, almost 2 hours and wasn’t drying.

I got the lip power matte lipstick in shade 111, which is a nice nude pink. I really tend to use nudes lipsticks more then bold or dark ones. They just look better in my opinion, and this is one of my favorite nude lipsticks I have. It goes on nice and smooth, doesn't dry out lips lime some lipsticks do. It actually does have a few nice Moisturizing ingredients like olive oil and jojoba oil. This lipstick has lasted my most of the day, but does seem to wear off as the day goes. I have had cheaper ones stay on longer. But this is still a nice lipstick. I have watched in pic to show how it looks, I have fair/light skin with neutral undertones.

Armani Lip Power - 104

The color, shade 104, is a beautiful nude with subtle pink undertones that complement my complexion perfectly. It's versatile enough to wear every day and pairs well with various makeup looks, from natural to glam. The pigmentation is rich and opaque with just one swipe, providing full coverage without feeling heavy or cakey on the lips. Texture-wise, the lipstick feels incredibly smooth and creamy during application. It glides effortlessly onto the lips, imparting a satin finish that looks polished and sophisticated. Despite the creamy texture, it has impressive staying power. I found that it lasted several hours without needing frequent touch-ups, even through meals and drinks. What impressed me most is how comfortable it feels on the lips. It's hydrating and ... MoreThe color, shade 104, is a beautiful nude with subtle pink undertones that complement my complexion perfectly.

What impressed me most is how comfortable it feels on the lips. It's hydrating and doesn't emphasize any dry patches, which is a common concern with matte lipsticks. Instead, my lips feel nourished and moisturized throughout wear. The formula is also fragrance-free, which I appreciate as someone sensitive to scents in cosmetics. It has a faint, pleasant scent that dissipates quickly upon application. Overall, Armani Lip Power in shade 104 is a stellar lipstick that combines luxurious packaging, beautiful color payoff, and comfortable wear. It's a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their makeup collection with a high-quality lipstick that delivers both in performance and style.

Fabulous lipstick!

The color payoff is fantastic, and while I can’t describe it as completely transfer-proof, there was very minimal transfer, with the lipstick being very long-lasting and requiring major scrubbing to get off at the end of the night. Almost like a lip stain. Once it is set, it is ON THERE and I have no worries about it becoming runny and haven’t even had any issues with it transferring onto my teeth, which tends to happen with most lip glosses and/or other lipsticks I’ve worn.This lipstick is a rich hue, smooth, comfortable, matte, and perfectly stunning!! I really couldn’t find a single complaint honestly! The size and shape of the lipstick is fantastic as well! Perfect truthfully. The tube is thin enough to apply it precisely to my lips straight from the tube, and the point on it is magnificent and very sharp, perfect for tackling the top points on my upper lip, and also getting in the corners well where my upper and lower lips meet. With this color being a darker, deeper shade than I would typically wear daily, this definitely feels like a “night out on the town” lipstick to me, and I plan to purchase this lipstick in a lighter shade that’s more neutral or pink-toned to use more for daily wear. This lipstick is life-changing and I’m so happy I’ve discovered such a perfect and high quality lipstick! I can’t r

I love this Lipstick!

The Giorgio Armani Lip Power Matte long wear lipstick in the color 116 Enigmatic comes in a beautiful unique tube that is quality made and the color is very lovely. This lipstick's shape is great because it has a very pointed end making it easy to apply with no mistakes. When applying to the lips it glides on super smooth, is very pigmented and has a rich thick texture. The lipstick can fully color the lips with just one swipe yet it still feels lightweight and conditioning on the lips. The color Enigmatic is great it's not a nude shade but it's neutral enough that it's versatile and can be worn day or night by applying more or less. It has a matte finish but stands out from others like it because it doesn't flake or have a dry look.The Giorgio Armani Lip Power ... MoreThe Giorgio Armani Lip Power Matte long wear lipstick in the color 116 Enigmatic comes in a beautiful unique tube that is quality made and the color is very lovely.

Armani Lip Power Matte lipstick is long lasting because I drink a lot of water yet it stays on and if it fades some it still looks amazing. You can't go wrong with this lipstick it's really great actually it's the best lipstick I've tried and I've tried every brand you can think off.

Indulged myself

Expensive lipstick with a lot of promises. Lipstick goes on smoothly, it keeps it shape ,making applications without a brush easier. However the lipstick tip does get a bit messy and smudge across the top of case.Case is slim and attractive easy to open. Staying power on me is not as long as suggested but still far better than any other lipstick I’ve tried. Would I indulge myself again?Yes.My main criticism is the marketing. There are no verbal indication of colours, some don’t even have a descriptive name; just a number. Virtual try on does not work for me, samples difficult to find and the colour charts not great. Armani sort it out and provide unity across your products. Choosing shades is very challenging and frustrating

Love love love

This is one of my favorite lip products in my collection. I also really love the shades in this collection. It does have long lasting powers, but without drying your lips (which a lot of long lasting lippies do). The formula is amazing, creamy but not easily breakable. Also, if you're using this for its "long lasting" powers, make sure you use it right. Use it my itself and if you are putting gloss on top of it, use minimal gloss or balm.I feel like many of the people that say long lasting lipsticks don't last on them are those who don't understand that if you mix anything balmy, oily, or greasy on top of it (like lip glosses, balms, lip oils, or food even) it is meant to fade because those formulas are meant to remove even waterproof lipsticks.

Love the Color + Makes My Lips Stand Out

I am not a big lipstick wearer, but when I have a date night with my husband or special engagement to attend, I like to put some on. Because I am not a daily user, I like to go with light or subtle colors, as I don't want it to overly dramatic with big pops or red or wine colored lips. My go to color which always seems to compliment my makeup is beige. So, I was excited when I found this color when shopping for a new lipstick. I picked up the Giorgio Armani lip power matte lipstick in beige nude (#116 Enigmatic), and couldn't wait to try it on.

Unlike other lipsticks I have used in this past, this one once applied, it didn't feel like I was wearing lipstick as it wasn't heavy or caked on feeling. And, I didn't have to worry about it wearing off while staying hydrated throughout the day as it is water resistant. If you like applying lipstick and going for a swim, then you will not have to worry about this lipstick coming off, which is great!Overall, I am really pleased with the #116 enigmatic beige nude lip power matte lipstick from Armani. The color was just what I was looking for, and lasts all day. It really does add some life to my lips and gives them more definition and makes them stand out. Highly recommend this lipstick.
