Perfect for a luxe pop of glossy lip color, Armani Lip Shimmers are sheer, luscious, and utterly wearable.

Though these lipglosses feel a little thicker than I’d normally prefer, they’re still comfortably smooth, non-sticky, and long-lasting.

I tried two red lip shimmers that are sheer enough to flatter a wide range of skin tones, but rich enough to provide a sexy pop of color. For a more understated look, go for Shade #34, a creamy, pale red with a subtle shimmer.

If you’re looking for a little more impact, Shade #35 is more of a raspberry red that provides multi-dimensional, “look-at-me” lips (without giving you a case of Disco Mouth ;)

Definitely a top choice for those who want the drama and sex-pot appeal of red lips without having to play color guessing games or deal with the higher maintenance primping that can come with wearing red lipstick (using lipliner, teeth smears, etc.).

Armani Lip Shimmer is available for $26 from Giorgio Armani Beauty.
