Brick Red (45)
Giorgio Armani Brick Red (45) Neo Nude Melting Color BalmGiorgio Armani Brick Red (45) Neo Nude Melting Color Balm ($ 38.00 for 0.12 oz.) Is a rich, coppery orange with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It tended to be orange rather than red, both in the pan and in the swatch / application. It had almost opaque pigmentation applied with a fingertip and medium to semi-opaque coverage applied with a brush so it wasn’t as buildable as it is on the market – you have to use a lighter handle to get a real, to achieve buildable opacity.
The texture was smooth, more of a velvety feel that was drier, like a clay, with some feather / give in when pushed and pushed around the pan. The formula felt velvety at first, but turned into a more powdery finish as soon as it came in contact with my skin. It has worn well on my cheeks for eight hours and on my eyes for six hours.

The formula is said to have “buildable” coverage that is “light, natural” and “blends seamlessly” with the skin. It is listed primarily as a cream blush, but can also be used on “eyes for a touch of color”.
The pigmentation ranged from medium to semi-opaque buildable coverage, but they were more pigmented than they were clear or “washable”. the color. As expected, they are more intense when applied with the fingertip than with the brush.
The consistency was like a drier cream powder – it had a bit of spring force, and when I really swirled my finger around in the pan, I could feel more of a velvety glide that had a bit of smoothness and creaminess, but it quickly got powdery on my skin will. It turned out to be a transfer-resistant finish that was flexible and easy to blend along the edges, but it had enough set and was quick enough that I would recommend working one area at a time.
I was able to apply the product on both bare skin and foundation without the formula tending to lift base products, although it definitely worked better with less emollient complexion products. The products typically lasted about eight hours on the cheeks / face while they lasted about six hours on my eyes.
