Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro – #401 Tibetan Orange:

When Giorgio Armani launches a product – time stands still. Their products are raved (even ranted) about – from the Maestro Foundation to their Lip Maestros to the recently released Rouge Ecstasy, better known as the CC Lipstick, the products have taken the world by storm. You will see every International beauty blogger talking about it, swatches all over the place – needless to say.

Though you would see them categorized at a number of places as lip gloss,These are way too pigmented to be lip glosses. They are actually liquid/cream lipsticks.


The first lip stain with a comfortable velvet texture and a radiant finish. Intense, seductive, illuminating color. Giorgio Armani introduces Lip Maestro: the next generation of lip color. Lips appear instantly plumped and radiant. The sensual, non-sticky texture offers hours of hydration

Concentrated pigments permeate the gel formula, offering an incredible depth of color. No underlying white “base” means color stays true for a flawless, matte and glowing finish.With Lip Maestro, we wanted to create pure, vibrant colors that fit with every complexion. Outstanding, luxurious colors enhanced in a luminous matte formula.”
-Linda Cantello, Makeup Artist for Giorgio Armani Cosmetics.

The product comes packaged in a lip gloss kind of packaging with GA logo prominently displayed. The cap is red in colour, while the tube with the product is transparent. So its easy its to identify the colour,The bottle comes packaged in the standard GA black outer box.The applicator is a soft and bendy – refer pics. Makes for easy and precise application.The colour is named “Tibetan Orange” and that’s exactly what it is – bright and bold orange. Definitely not for the faint hearted. This one is pretty much in your face.When using this colour, you better ensure that it takes centre stage – meaning, everything else needs to be subtle. The liquid lipstick is lightweight – it’s a mix of gel and velvet. When applied it has a natural sheen (no shimmer or glossiness), however, in an hour, it settles to a matte finish. Though matte, the product does not dehydrate the lip. Rather it wears very comfortably without accentuating the lines.
