NARS Power Trip Air Matte Lip Color ($26.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a deep red with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer, which was a lot more than promised as the formula was supposed to be buildable.
The texture felt very lightweight, smooth, and spreadable with more of a velvety, mousse-like quality to it. The color applied evenly and wasn't prone to emphasizing any imperfections in texture when initially applied, but the formula degraded more readily and seemed particularly prone to clinging to imperfections, patchiness, and getting into my lip lines as it wore way. There was something about it that felt very much like it was just sitting on my lips rather than adhering/integrating in a way, which I think is why it wasn't that long-wearing either. It lasted for four hours decently with the color being more intact (but very unflattering) for five hours, though at least the formula didn't dry my lips out.
