Giacomo is a Tom Ford lipstick from his Lips & Boys collection. It is supposed to be moisturizing, long lasting and have a smooth velvet texture. It also has a 'pearlescent, metallized finish' and comes in a 'clutch-sized case' and very sleek black & gold packaging. The color of Giacomo is described as a 'playful pink' color.
The pros: This is indeed a highly moisturizing lipstick. It shows as a slightly dark pink color in the tube. If you have slightly darker lips, on first application this lipstick is quite sheer and will look like a translucent pink shade. However, the color is buildable and doesn't feel heavy or flaky with multiple applications.
On my Indian, darker skin tone, this shows up as a nice, natural, wearable pink with slight blue undertones. It is long lasting (as long as you don't eat or drink anything). It is easy to wear for long periods of time and feels like you are wearing lip balm.
The cons: The 'clutch-size'. What this means is that it is a miniature lipstick which is smaller in size than your standard lipstick. The kicker being that it retails for around the same price as a full sized luxury brand lipstick ($36). I've had sample lipsticks that have been bigger in size than Tom Ford's Giacomo. Then there is the 'perlescent, metallized' finish of Tom Ford's Giacomo - is this term, this decade's euphemism for 'frosted'? This lipstick does at times remind me of the 80's - 90's frosted pink lipsticks.
