I can't figure out the meaning of this phrase in the context, although several possibilities come to mind.
We're talking about a lipstick, 'perfettamente aderente e un deciso potere scrivente'. Who writes these xxxxxxxxx texts anyway???

Hi Moll, the term crops up, along with \"scritta\", on this webpage describing lipsticks. I think it refers to coverage - see what you think:
