Lip Maestro Matte Liquid Lipstick

#501 is another classic from Armani. It’s a vibrant rose-berry that’s not too pink or mauve. I love how the soft texture of this formula cushions and enhances my lips.

The color of lipgloss is super beautiful. Nordstrom is fast in delivery, exquisite in packaging and good in service attitude. I will buy it again.

This is possibly the worst lip product I have purchased this year. The first time I wore it I just happened to look in my review mirror before getting out of the car and saw that it was literally outside my lips by a good half inch and I didn't speak or eat or anything after I applied it. The only way I can successfully wear it is blot it off and leave a "stain" which I feel is a complete waste of product especially at this price point. Much better: Guerlain 'Rouge G l'Extrait' Lip Color

FYI, the color that is referred to as "The Red" on Armani's website is called "Hollywood" on Nordstrom's site. I don't know why. Just so you know. This is the best color EVER. I am a person of Indian ethnicity, and it looks AMAZING on my skin tone. I matched it with Urban Decay's 69 Lip Pencil and it looks great. This lip laquer is not sticky, not drying, is long lasting (and fades evenly across your lips when it does give out). It also smells nice. I strongly recommend this product and this color, specifically. Please, don't ever discontinue it. Or, please give me advance notice if you do, because I'd definitely like to stock up.

I am always on the search for long lasting but comfortable lipsticks, and was especially excited to try thIs one after reading several good reviews. However, I was disappointed in this product. The color, Terra, was a nice, deep, reddish brown, and the applicator (and application) was nice, but I found this to be very drying and the staying power on me was not terrific, AND it wore off unevenly, which really bugs me in a high end lip product. Thank goodness for Nordstrom's great return policy! Ended up purchasing Burberry's Lip Cover in Deep Burgundy instead, which I love.

longingly stared at reviews/swatches 201 for weeks. after receiving first Armani rouge(plum 603)- hooked. somehow though couldn't commit to 201. Personal Opinion Deep Pockets Dark Lip Expensive Mistake List- chanel rouge noir, almadine, ysl noir laque, ysl violet edition, guerlain samsara, vega, nars palais royale, volga, club mix, danged, train bleu(tears), sensai 15, urb decay venom, shame, dior daisy plum, hypnose red, etc... almost ordering every other aubergine, blood, dark, "vamp" lip in the world along with all the above. Gosh, bless em' all but problems. too much work. i felt sad. Armani thank you i am saved. 201 is awesome. truly and honestly velvet, applied. most opaque and deep color single swipe super light long wear formula. EXCITE ME LIPPY! the surprise is when i wear it on a dark cloudy afternoon. BANG! the color is in a LEAGUE OF ITS OWN. reminds not of lipstick but of red velvet cake mix in the most dynamic way possible. and why does nars matte smell like crayons?

I've been looking for the perfect red and almost despaired. I decided to try #402 Lacque du Chien and the color is just what I wanted. I have a yellow undertone to my skin so red lipstick with a blue undertone makes me look sallow. This one is a clear Chinese red--no blue undertone and not too orangy. This is my first Lip Maestro lipstick--I usually wear Rouge d'Armani) and it's wonderful--creamy, goes on easily, and long lasting. It's matte, but not flat. The perfect red in a perfect lipstick.

Expired stuff don't buy it

I use other Armani products and wanted to try this lip color. I ordered two colors after doing a live chat. The one color ( code) was very vibrant and a little more color than I was looking for. The second color was more muted so I wanted to try it. While it feels nice on the lips and will stay on for longer than most lip products, it is not a stain so color will transfer. I find that if it is blotted after the first application, reapplied and slightly blotted again, it will last a little longer. Does not cake and feels good - non drying. Not sure if I will buy again though.

I NEVER wear lipstick but I love this lacquer. It goes on very smooth and settles into a beautiful matte after a few minutes. It doesn't dry out my lips and the color lasts for 3-4 hours without reapplication if you're careful (beware: it comes off on everything). I have the 'Laque de Chine" color and it is a great red for my fair complexion (light brown hair, hazel eyes).

I am a big fan of this stain. There is a big color payoff, hours of longevity and it doesn't dry out my lips. I think I need to buy some more colors.

This is a classic red, the Armani shade 400 (although it's called "Hollywood" on the website I bought from). It's matte red, nondrying, nice finish. It is not a stay-all-day formulation, more like a regular lipstick; you can smear it and transfer it if you're not careful. Very comfortable to wear and in my experience does not feather.
