Well, I am really going to struggle to descibe these new offerings from Giorgio Armani – they’re kind of incredible in that they are matte glosses. Weird. It’s a very unusual formula that feels absolutely feather-light on the lip and goes on a sort of wet-matte but dries to a glowy-matte.
Pigment wise – they’re high, high pigment because the formulators have left out any white base, and they have a very big doe’s foot applicator; I thought it a little too big to be honest, but it’s flexible and soft.
They say: “For a truly saturated lip colour that shines from within, Giorgio Armani Cosmetics has created a revolutionary, colour backlighting technology. Light interacts with the pigments and is then bounced back, intensifying colour. Your lips appear backlit, fuller and irresistible.” Which explains a little bit how it is that your lips can look matte but a bit luminous as well. They’re very clever.

They’re launching exclusively at Harrods from 1st December and also www.armanibeauty.co.uk and will cost £25 each.
These look amazing! Are they comparable to the Guerlain liquid lipsticks?

Would love to see it on the lips, I can’t quite imagine a matte gloss – it kind of contradicts one another!

Hi Juliette.. actually that is a good point.. yes they are but there is something different about these – YSL have something similar but I’d say these are so far the ultimate formula in this genre. x
wow i really like these
cool effect
I think I’m a little in love!

Love the publicity image, very rocky horror! Lol!
These look lovely. Very similar to the Lancome L’Absolu Mat Cashmere’s for Autumn/Winter which I’m very impressed with.
These look great-I’m coming to London next week and am gutted will be missing the launch-:(
Going to have to see them in real life. Didn’t get along with the YSL lip stains actually, not matte enough for me. I do think this could be a winner though!
I neeeeed these!!
These do look amaizing! Love the presentation.
Could they be similar to the nyx soft matte lip cream, or the Collection Cream Puffs? I know they are in quite a different price bracket, but I’m trying to get an idea of the texture.
