NARS Lipstick in Trans Siberian is a deep ruby-rose red with a semi-matte finish — a versatile, full-bodied shade that suits a wide range of skin tones and reads sophisticated rather than statement-bright. The cushiony, pigment-rich formula glides on in a single sweep and stays comfortable on the lips for hours.
About NARS
Founded in 1994 by French make-up artist and photographer François Nars, NARS Cosmetics built its reputation on minimalist black packaging, daring shade names and a singular focus on flattering, photo-ready colour. The brand is now part of the Shiseido group and remains a favourite among professional artists for its blendable formulas and cult lipstick range.
Key features
- Semi-matte finish — velvety rather than flat-matte, with subtle softness for comfortable daily wear
- High-impact pigment — delivers full, opaque colour in a single application
- Nourishing formula — enriched with Moringa Seed Oil and Passion Fruit Seed Oil to condition lips while wearing
- Long-wearing — designed to stay vibrant without bleeding or fading quickly
- Iconic rubberised bullet — the signature soft-touch black tube is instantly recognisable
Who it's for
Trans Siberian suits anyone who wants a polished, grown-up red that feels modern rather than vintage. It works year-round but really comes into its own in autumn and winter, pairs naturally with smoky eyes or a clean nude eye, and adapts easily from office to evening.
How to apply
- Exfoliate lips lightly to remove flakiness, then apply a thin layer of balm and blot
- Line the lips with a neutral or rose-red lip pencil to define the shape and prevent feathering
- Apply Trans Siberian directly from the bullet, working from the centre of the lips outwards
- Press lips together to distribute, then blot with a tissue and reapply for an even longer-wearing finish
