Milano (501)

Giorgio Armani Milano (501) Rouge d’Armani Matte Lip Color ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium, rosy mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had rich color coverage that applied evenly and smoothly in a single layer. The consistency was velvety, denser but smooth as I applied it to my lips, yet it managed to feel lightweight while worn. It had good adherence but did not settle into my lip lines, and it stayed on well for seven hours on me. The formula felt lightly hydrating while worn as well, which was a nice bonus!

Formula Overview

$38.00/0.14 oz. - $271.43 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "intensely pigmented" with a "long lasting matte" finish ("8-hour wear") and is "non-drying." It had a denser consistency that seemed thicker but wasn't heavy, and there was just enough slip that it applied in a fluid, single stroke without tugging on my lips, but it didn't feel wet or cream-like on. The shades I tried were richly pigmented and applied evenly without emphasizing my lip lines. The formula felt almost powder-like, which gave it a velvety, denser feel compared to the average lipstick, likely due to the various silicones (dimethicone is the first ingredient). They lasted between six and eight hours on me and were non-drying to lightly hydrating. They did not seem to have any fragrance or taste.

Nightberry (201)

Giorgio Armani Nightberry (201) Rouge d’Armani Matte Lip Color ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium-dark burgundy with subtle, warm red undertones and a satin finish. It had slightly more slip compared to the other shades I tried, though it was still not truly creamy or emollient on. This shade was richly pigmented and had a smooth, velvety texture that applied evenly and smoothly in a fluid stroke. The color lasted nicely for eight hours on me and was lightly moisturizing.
