Cool Plum (61)
Giorgio Armani Cool Plum (61) Neo Nude Melting Color BalmGiorgio Armani Cool Plum (61) Neo Nude Melting Color Balm ($ 38.00 for 0.12 oz.) Is a deep plum with subtle warmth and a matte finish. It had a semi-transparent, buildable pigmentation that was applied with both fingertips and a brush, although I struggled to stick the product as evenly and even on a brush compared to other shades in the range.
The texture was smooth, velvety, and clay-like with some yielding but without any real wetness. Once it came in contact with my skin, it worked like a powder product and was quick drying. Unfortunately, this shade does not blend as evenly as other shades. It was applied similarly to bare skin as well as foundation. The cheek product after eight hours and the eye product after six hours showed signs of wear.

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.
