Giorgio Armani Selfless & Forte Lip Power Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Selfless (104)
Giorgio Armani Selfless (104) Lip Power Satin Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a light-medium pink with moderate, warm undertones and fine pearl paired with a soft sheen. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that was buildable to semi-opaque coverage. The texture was smooth, balm-like, and had moderate slip initially, but it set to a clingier, slightly tacky feel that was more prone to emphasizing my lip lines/lip texture. It lasted for three hours and felt lightly hydrating.

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.

Forte (106)
Giorgio Armani Forte (106) Lip Power Satin Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a soft, light-medium rosy brown with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had medium, buildable pigmentation (to mostly opaque) that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips. The texture felt lightweight, lightly creamy, and set slightly to a less emollient, lightly tacky feel after a minute or so. It stayed on well for four hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.
