Here's one for the books: Giorgio Armani Beauty Ecstasy Shine in Night Viper is a beautiful sheer lip color, with a lovely subtle gloss. It's about as comfy to wear as they come -- it conditions like a balm, but still delivers a healthy dose of pigment. Another bonus? It wears evenly, and you can layer it for a more dramatic look.
Looking for a lippie that delivers drama in the highest degree? The Lancome Matte Shaker High Pigment Liquid Lipsticks might just be everything you want and more. You won't believe how high-impact the matte finish is -- and the color payoff is out of this world.
These have been around for quite a while, and you should definitely try it if you haven't yet. The stain lasts all day (especially with the darker colors like Crush here), and it won't dry your lips at all. It's pigmented, but allows your natural lip color to shine through, which makes the colors easy to wear and pretty much universally flattering.
"Lip Gelato" is the perfect descriptor for the Elizabeth Arden Plush Up Lip Gelatos; the formula is as refreshing and light as its name would imply. It delivers sheer color, with a hint of flattering gloss and shimmer -- plus, it's got a minty tingle that plumps your lips up a bit.
