NARS Immortal Red, Trans Siberian, Transeurope Express Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Immortal Red
NARS Immortal Red Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark red with moderate, warm undertones and a satin finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, lightly emollient texture that felt more velvety than creamy as it glided across my lips without tugging.
It had a very lightweight, thin feel applied, though it never felt clingy. The color applied evenly and didn’t emphasize my lip lines. It wore well for six hours and felt neither drying nor hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$26.00/0.12 oz. - $216.67 Per Ounce
NARS has reformulated their core lipstick range, which now includes 72 shades across three finishes: matte, sheer, and satin. The formula is supposed to go on "smoothly and evenly with a light feel" that is "long-lasting" and "resistant to bleeding and feathering." The sheer finish has "subtle, sheer color that shines," while the satin finish has "creamy rich color" and the matte finish has "intense color with a velvety finish."
The matte finish has a very thin, featherweight feel to it, but they didn't feel clingy or too prone to dragging during application, though they were definitely a firmer texture in the tube. There was enough glide from the inclusion of dimethicone (first ingredient for the matte finish) that went on evenly, felt velvety but didn't feel as powder-like as some of the other more silicone-heavy matte lipstick formulas that have been released in the last couple of years. Most shades were pigmented and nearly opaque to opaque. The wear ranged from three to six hours with deeper, richer shades staying on a bit longer and leaving slight stains. They were comfortable to wear but felt more non-drying than particularly hydrating.
The satin finish has more slip, feels thicker (though not actually thick or heavy) compared to the matte finish, and of course, there was subtle to light shine/sheen. They applied smoothly, comfortably, and for the most part, went on evenly and didn't sink noticeably into my lip lines but there was some variance between shades. They were typically semi-opaque to opaque in coverage with four to six-hour wear that was lightly hydrating.
The sheer finish had coverage that ranged from semi-sheer to true medium coverage but most had some translucency to them, which gave them a sheerer finish. I found most of the shades I tried were buildable to some degree. The texture was a bit firmer, but they felt more emollient and "melted" a bit more against my lips than I recall the original line of lipsticks doing. Some shades applied well with even application and were flattering on, but there were a few that sank more noticeably into my lip lines. This finish tended to wear between three and five hours.
I don't have many of NARS' original lipsticks in my stash (I have mostly Audacious as they haven't been releasing many in the core range) to compare to. The matte finish was definitely thinner, more matte, and had a velvetier look on lips compared to the original which had a subtle sheen to it. The satin finish seemed a bit more pigmented and not quite as luminous/glossy as the previous formula, while the sheer finish was creamier, more emollient, and was easier to apply. It didn't feel like a vastly different formula, but it felt a bit easier to work with (smoother, more emollient but still lighterweight and thin, far less slip than any of the Audacious range) and was more comfortable to wear across the board for me.
I didn't notice any scent or taste, though there is "fragrance (parfum)" listed in the ingredients--it smelled neutral, not waxy but I just didn't get any scent.

Trans Siberian
NARS Trans Siberian Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is muted, dark red with neutral-to-cool undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without dragging.

Transeurope Express
NARS Transeurope Express Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark plum with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage in a single layer, which didn’t build up well to full coverage due to the drier texture.
The lipstick felt quite firm in the tube, which resulted in some tugging and dragging during application; I’d recommend applying in short strokes rather than a fluid one. It stayed on nicely for five and a half hours but was slightly drying over time.
