GIORGIO ARMANI

Lip Power Matte
Lip Power Matte long-lasting lipstick by Giorgio Armani Extremely long-lasting colour without compromising your comfort. A matte lipstick usually means choosing between comfort and colour. Too much powder in the formula makes your lips feel dry and uncomfortable. Yet, too much oil absorbs powder, destroying the matte finish effect. Giorgio Armani has achieved something seemingly impossible: a long-lasting matte lipstick called Lip Power Matte, which does not dry out your lips and provides a high level of comfort. Lip Power Matte strikes a balance between the amount of beneficial oils and the amount of powder. The formula of the product is enriched with two natural oils, namely olive oil and jojoba oil, which make Lip Power Matte spread perfectly and easily, wears well on the lips and does not dry them out. Moreover, the Giorgio Armani lipstick contains a special spherical powder. The powder guarantees a beautiful matte finish, prolongs its life and improves resistance to wearing off. In addition, 25% of the formula is a gel that perfectly diffuses light, making lips look healthier and more moisturised.
