Giorgio Armani Flirt, Brave, Attitude Lip Power Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Flirt (504)

Giorgio Armani Flirt (504) Lip Power Satin Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a muted, medium reddish-plum with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage that adhered evenly to my lips and was comfortable to apply.

The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and lightweight when initially applied, though the formula set slightly to something a touch tacky and a little clingy compared to the initial feel. It lasted well for five hours and felt lightly hydrating while worn.

Formula Overview

$38.00/0.11 oz. - $345.45 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "satin vivid color with buildable coverage that stays all day long" (they claim "8 hour wear" without having to reapply). I found the coverage varied significantly from lighter to deeper shades, and shades with pearl and more luminosity to their finish tended to be sheerer, somewhat buildable, and were more prone to gathering in my lip lines.

More mid-tone and deeper shades tended to have a true satin finish--not too glossy but not matte--and had more semi-opaque to opaque coverage--so not so much buildable either. The texture was lightweight, creamy, and smooth without being too dense in the tube nor too emollient. I found that the formula felt glossier and more balm-like initially but seemed to set slightly to something that was a touch tacky, not emollient, and felt a little clingy in comparison to the original texture (not clingy in a bad way, for the most part!).

As expected, lighter, sheerer shades didn't wear as long or as well as more mid-tone and darker, satin-finish shades did. Lighter shades lasted between three and four hours, while darker shades lasted between four and six hours with only a few getting close to eight hours. The formula was comfortable to wear and lightly to moderately hydrating over time.

Brave (506)

Giorgio Armani Brave (506) Lip Power Satin Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark fuchsia pink with cool undertones and lighter, fuchsia pearl throughout. It had medium pigmentation that could be built up to semi-opaque coverage if desired.

The texture felt smooth, lightly creamy, and lightweight without being clingy, but the formula developed to a clingier, lightly sticky consistency within a minute or so. It stayed on well for five and a half hours and felt lightly hydrating while worn.

Attitude (602)

Giorgio Armani Attitude (602) Lip Power Satin Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a deep red with cool undertones and a satin sheen. It had mostly opaque color coverage in a single layer, so it wasn’t as buildable as marketed.

The consistency was smooth, lightweight, and creamy enough to apply without tugging. The formula “set” to a lightly tacky feel, so while it wasn’t transfer-resistant, it was noticeably less emollient than it was initially applied. It wore well for six and a half hours and felt lightly moisturizing over time.
