Last fall, I reviewed and swatched several shades from Milani’s new Amore Matte Lip Creme line here. The matte liquid lipstick trend is still going strong so Milani has added 10 more limited edition colors to their lineup this fall.
I received 4 new shades:
- 28 Darling: pink-beige, almost the color of my lips
- 31 Glamour: deep bronze
- 35 Attraction: blue-red
- 36 Magnetic: Merlot, deep red-plum
I photographed the swatches while they were still wet and then again after they dried.
The colors are absolutely stunning. In fact, I think that’s what Milani does best: great color! They are highly pigmented, and the color stays on. In fact, I use micellar water to remove them, and it takes several strokes to get it off. The Amore Lip Cremes really stay put on your lips unless you’re eating a lot of greasy food. Milani claims that they last up to 16 hours. I haven’t worn them that long, but they do last and last.
Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme lipsticks are not hydrating but they’re not exceedingly drying either. I think the darker shades are a little more drying than the lighter ones that I’d describe as neutral: neither hydrating nor drying. So if your lips are not desperately dry like mine, you’ll have no trouble wearing these matte lipsticks. As with any matte lipstick, exfoliate first to prevent the formula from clinging to any dry patches.
The slim applicator makes them quite easy to apply. On older lips like mine, I think using a lipliner gives a crisper outline, but for most of you, just line with the applicator and go. Here’s Darling (sorry it’s such a grainy photo) applied without a liner.
Truth be told, I’m usually often too lazy to find a universal lipliner so I just apply it with the applicator and go. But you can see in this nighttime photo, that my line was off a bit. The shade is pretty great, though.
If you’re a fan of matte liquid lipsticks, definitely give some of these Milani Amore Matte Lip Cremes a try. I think the shades are unparalleled. Right now, there are 28 shades in total.
Priced around $7.99-8.99, Milani Amore Matte Lip Cremes are available at Target, CVS and on the Milani website as well as at other retailers.

Why thank you, Amber! I wish I felt more confident wearing the really dark ones 😉 but the red is perfect!
These received really great reviews but I have yet to try them. There’s only one store that carries Milani and it has very limited range, not sure if I saw these sold but will check them out.

The shades are stunning so they’re worth a look, Shireen!
These are absolutely GORGEOUS! It would be better if they were hydrating, but that is hard to find with mattes!
I wish I could find a hydrating matte but that seems to be an oxymoron 😉
In the fall I wish I could carry off these rich shades. They look beautifully pigmented.

Pigmentation is their key feature, Marcia. I’m not comfortable wearing the darkest shades either, though the red I can do. There are 28 shades total with lots of pinks and neutrals in the mix so there’s much more choice than I’ve shown with these 4.
I would go with “Darling” it’s just versatile for anytime use. It’s not to bright, if i want to wear something more daring i would settle for “magnetic”

I agree, Leanie, that Darling is most versatile. But there are 10 new LE shades for fall with 28 shades total so there’s lot of variety!
I love Darling and Attraction but what makes me want to really try them is that they have lasting power. I’m all about lasting power these days just as I am about moisture. I’ll be sure to check them out at the drug store.

The shades are soooooo beautiful, Aleya. They definitely last unless you have a fatty or oily meal. In terms of moisture, not so much. They’re not drying, but they’re not hydrating either. Definitely worth checking out!
Darling looks like such a pretty, wearable color.

Darling really is a lovely everyday, year round shade.
Really great colors.

I love those two as well!
I have a feeling if I wore make up I’d be all over these.
Aren’t the shades gorgeous for fall?
I love matte lips! I don’t have any of these but Attraction and Magnetic looked like I’d really love those 🙂
Oooh… these are really nice. Magnetic is my favorite out of all of them. I haven’t seen these in stores yet, but I’ll surely check them out.

For me, it’s Attraction and Magnetic. I was so taken with Glamour but I wish it were more bronze/copper and less brown. I haven’t seen them in stores around here either. They are available on the Milani website now though
How gorgeous are these! I’m obsessed with liquid lipsticks, and I’ve heard good things about the Milani ones from everyone. I may pick these up!

They are so gorgeous in person, Stacie. I know you’d enjoy them!
Very pretty lip colors for fall. My fave is Attraction and Magnetic. If Walmart here has it, I’m going to pick up a few shades.
My faves of the 4 as well. I hope you can find them at Walmart, Sharon!
That chocolate brown is gorgeous! I’ve been dying to try these.
The colors are so rich. Definitely worth seeking out. I haven’t seen them yet at my local CVSs but they should be here soon coz they are on the Milani website!
