Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro Orange Tibetan
For who ? The ... clumsy.
The formula: an arrangement of spherical polymers filling and matifying, and moisturizing active ingredients.
What do we think? If a lacquer can be dull, then this lipstick is one by the brightness that characterizes it. It is the only one that is presented with a foam tip, usually reserved for gloss: practice to ensure his gesture.
The most bluffing: this orange-red is particularly flamboyant, but we find the same intensity of color in the other eleven shades. A lot of comfort too.
To improve: the price? But, when we love ...
The VB: to draw the lips in a symmetrical way with the applicator, to start with the commissures and to go towards the heart of the mouth.
The price: € 30, twelve colors, in perfumeries and department stores, and at Sephora.
Givenchy Red Prohibited Lively Red # 61
For who ? Those who always have dry lips.
The formula: enriched with camelina oil, rich in omega 3 and 6, castor oil and beeswax. What do we think? What bello! It looks a bit satin but, on the mouth, it is a real mat very "diva", chic and elegant. It is easily applied in a uniform way in a few passes and generously covers the lips.
The most stunning: its high brightness and the fact that it does not feel once laid. More "powder" than "velvet", it is easy to wear during the day.
To improve: its behavior is perhaps less good than some mats of this test bench but at least it clears "cleanly" and uniformly.
The VB: to wear with a bun and a little black satin dress, without jewel ...
The price: € 28, two colors, in perfumeries and department stores.
Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet L'Impatiente # 307
For who ? The "lazy" ...
The formula: mattifying silicones, ultrafine pearls, jojoba oil.
What do we think? This ultra mattifying red, saturated with pigments but still cheerful and bright (probably because of the micronacres), is so good that we want to advise those who hate make-up fittings in the day, and even smokers !
The most stunning: in addition to its exceptional outfit, it remains as comfortable as a jersey ... Chanel, of course.
To improve: nothing, if you take care to first draw the mouth with pencil to avoid going over, otherwise corrections are difficult.
The VB: it is more easily eliminated at night with a cleansing oil.
The price: 30,50 €, eleven colors, in perfumeries and department stores.
Rouge Kiss Rouge Intensely Mat 601
For who ? The lovers.
The formula: small plumping moisturizing spheres, anti-aging collagen, nourishing rice bran and protective and restorative vitamin E.
What do we think? It is confirmed to you, faithful to the publicity which made its success in the twenties, the Red Kiss always resists perfectly to the kiss ... Ultramodern, this version is mate with pleasure and even manages to smooth the lips without thickness.
The most bluffing: the look of the case profiled as a Formula 1, the outfit of course and the perfume powdery floral very feminine and refined.
To improve: it could be more comfortable, but it would surely be at the expense of holding ...
The VB: spend a little balm on the lips before applying.

The most stunning: comfortable as a Stretch combination, it offers two sumptuous colors (the other shade is a raspberry pink). Beautiful silver case zamac.
To improve: a pity that it is not a little more perfumed.
The VB: if you find it too bright, pinch a paper towel between your lips.

Rimmel Lasting Matte Finish by Kate No. 106
For who ? Fashion addicts.
The formula: ruby powder that intensifies the color, and three emollient active ingredients for comfort and slippage.
What do we think? For less than 10 €, Rimmel offers the red that it "needs" to fashionistas who change red as dress. Seven colors as glam 'intense as matte in a dark red case, matte too. Ultra powerful in color and finish makeup, a little less in comfort.
The most bluffing: it's a real mat with strong colors. We are not disappointed.

The VB: pencil the lips with a pencil of the same color as the lipstick before passing the grapes to avoid the need to remix after the meal.
The price: € 9.50, seven colors, in the Monoprix and in supermarkets.
Tips from the pro
Olivier Tissot, expert make-up artist of Rimmel. Before applying your lipstick, spend a vitamin balm, leave on for two minutes and then remove with a paper towel to eliminate small skin. First draw the contour of the lips in pencil without insisting on the commissures or trying to thicken the mouth for a chic makeup. Catch up the small burrs with a Cotton-Rod and a tip of foundation , for a clear outline. Match with a slightly satin cream blush to avoid a total dull look. If the mouth is very present, do not force on the makeup of the eyes .
