Cool Mauve (50)
Giorgio Armani Cool Mauve (50) Neo Nude Melting Color BalmGiorgio Armani Cool Mauve (50) Neo Nude Melting Color Balm ($ 38.00 for 0.12 oz.) Is a muted, medium-dark mauve with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had medium buildable pigmentation that was applied with medium to semi-opaque coverage using fingertips and semi-transparent to medium coverage using a brush.
The texture was smooth, moderately dense, and more like a velvety cream powder – it didn’t feel wet, but had some spring and creaminess when I pressed down on the initial surface of the pan. The product was light, thin and quickly felt like powder as soon as it came in contact with my skin. It was applied evenly on bare skin and foundation, but most evenly on less emollient foundations. She wore the cheek color for eight hours and the eye color for six hours.

Formula overview
$ 38.00 / 0.12 oz. – $ 316.67 per ounce
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 blended easily 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.
