Giorgio Armani Crescendo (505) Ecstasy Lacquer ($38.00 for 0.2 oz.) is a vivid, medium pink-red with strong, cool undertones and a high-shine, jelly-like finish. There was some translucency (only semi-opaque in coverage) that gave it more of that jelly finish, so it was plush and gel-like after the initial application and had even, smoothing coverage.
The texture felt more watery as it was initially applied, but it developed a thicker, more gel-like feel that was moderately tacky. The color was still going strong after six hours of wear, left a strong stain behind, and was moisturizing over time.
