Giorgio Armani Burn Red (418) Lip MaestroGiorgio Armani Burn Red (418) Lip Maestro ($ 38.00 for 0.22 oz.) Is a light, medium-dark red with moderate, warm oranges and lighter, orange-red pearls. It had rich pigmentation in a single layer that applied smoothly and comfortably to my lips without getting stuck in my lip lines.
The texture became dull over time, although it took a few hours to wear off to a true satin finish. It carried well for seven and a half hours, leaving a faint stain, and feeling slightly moisturizing over time.

$ 38.00 / 0.22 oz. – – $ 172.73 per ounce
The consistency has more slip and a velvety smooth feel that gently “sticks” to the lips. While the finish looks shinier in the first few hours, the color is retained well. If you’ve ever used a silicone-based primer, the formula feels a bit overall. Most colors last between six and eight hours, are non-drying to slightly moisturizing and comfortable to wear. The formula is odorless and has no discernible taste.
The Lip Maestro Notorious formula is said to have a “shiny matt” finish with “8 hours of wearing time” and “high pigment”. The Notorious colors are inspired by “chic Hollywood glamor”, but otherwise look very similar to the original Lip Maestro formula.

It had an opaque paint coverage that was applied evenly and didn’t emphasize my lip texture. This shade stayed well on for seven hours, leaving a faint stain as the formula felt moisturizing over time.
