Giorgio Armani #600 Rouge d’Armani Lipstick

Venturing Into Plums:  Giorgio Armani #600

Giorgio Armani #600 Rouge d’Armani Lipstick ($30.00) is a fuchsia-plum shade in Giorgio Armani’s new long-wearing lipstick formula. The formula is supposed to deliver up to eight hours of wear-time without fading or feathering while feeling moisturizing.

Previously, I reviewed #401, which is more of an orange-based red (more orange than red, I’d say, though) — and the shade didn’t suit me personally, so it was onto the next… #600 is certainly a shade much more up my alley! It’s a bright plummy shade (which is why I’d describe it as a fuchsia-plum) that’s not so bright it’s hard to wear, but bright enough that it can be worn alone or as the star feature of a look.

On my lips, it certainly hugs and adheres to them – looks like it’s natural and yet obviously not (since it’s clearly a brightened up pucker!). It has a very glossy sheen and full color coverage. I initially thought it might be a little sheer, since the swatch wasn’t quite as opaque as it was with #401, but it proved me wrong once I applied it to my lips.

It’s definitely hydrating and wears well — I don’t know about a full eight hours, but I get around five or six, which is good enough for me. It’ll hold on decently through some drinking and a bit of eating, but I didn’t get stellar results through a full meal myself.

I found myself liking this shade much more than #401, and I was happy to see that it wears very similar to #401 as well (reds tend to wear the longest and best, because they’re so deep and richly pigmented!). I’m also still digging the packaging – there’s a magnetic clasp that keeps it locked into place.

I love the finish. It doesn’t really look like a lip stick either, which I like. I don’t know about the colour.. Looks great in the picture, but I cannot see myself wearing that!

I love these lipsticks! The packaging caught my attention (love that it’s magnetic!), but the lipsticks themselves kept me coming back for more. I have 505, 201, and I just picked up 400. LOVE them.

I just got this type of lipstick in 400 which is such an awesome red, I really like the formula and color pay off. The magnetic closure on the tube is pretty sweet.

I’m not a big fan of reds, I’m really into natural looking pinks, peaches, nudes, etc for my lips but this one looks like a perfect little pop of natural color! I like that its moisturizing, I have terribly dry winter lips!

It’s such a beautiful color. It’s a color that a model would wear easily. I’m not sure if that makes sense but it’s a very good thing!

I really love the formula of these lipsticks. I have 400, 401, and 103. I plan on getting 100 and 403 next. It’s hard to find non-drying reds and really good beiges/nudes..so that’s why I’m so excited about these!!

I am wearing a sample of 400 pink today, same lipstick, and it is gorgeous from the lasting, and I am 31 so my lipstick fades more then with mid-twenty 😉 I speak more, I eat and drink more.
This one lasts really long and it does not dry out.
I am impressen – also with the price tag. Still, if I have a wearable YLBB colour I’d go for it. The red one is hot. Hot.
