NARS Orgasm Powder Blush

JustJazzmom — Fri, 30 Nov 2018 15:52:21 GMT

I had bought a duo travel sized compact of NARS Orgasm Blush & Laguna bronzer.

I find with my coloring (light with some pink undertones) that Orgasm needs to be built for it to be seen.

Lately, I am using a sample of Lancôme Blushing Tresor blush. It looks similar to Orgasm with that subtle shimmer but it’s a darker more visible pink on me. Two swipes is enough for each cheek area.

Just wanted to put it out there for those who want some subtle shimmer but not a light pink blush like a Orgasm.

Does anyone find that using Orgasm, needs more of it to be seen?

I know it’s supposed to be fairly universal but this color has never worked on me but I do remember needing to use more than their other colors.

It's funny, I am a fair/light skin and own the Nars O liquid blush and I don't find it too light at all. In fact, I am very light handed applying it. I tried a powder sample of Nars O and the same thing. I just like a hint of color on my cheeks because I don't want to look too made up. Since I am in my 60's less is more for me.

I'm light and warm complected. Twenty years ago, when this was really in its prime, it's about all I wore. Then a MUA told me about Cargo's The Big Easy, which was a little more pigmented for my coloring. I switched to that. I don't even know if they still make it. Once I discovered Laura Geller's blushes (the "old" ones) I fell in love with them! DD finally tried it later on long after I stopped using it. She's extremely fair (Nicole Kidman) but cool. It just didn't do a lot for her, so she moved on. I remember she said she had to put more than one layer on for it to show up.

That blush didn’t do anything for me either. Funny that it’s named NARS Orgasm Blush, and we’re all like, “Meh, nothing special here, I’ve had better...” 😉

You might like the Nars Super O version better. That one is more pigmented than their original O and the Super O seems to give a better highlight and not as glowy as the original. Both versions are buildable but the Super O is more pigmented and has more popping color.

eta - I love Nars O but it was too expensive for me to keep layering it on to get a good color to show up on me. It was too sheer so I decided to try the Super O and I am pleased with it, except for the price. I have since been on a mission to find a good dupe and so far I've tried these:

MILANI Dolce Pink - very close but still too sheer

PUR Polynesian Pink - discontinued but it was terrific while it lasted

Wet 'n Wild Pearlescent Pink - waiting for this one to arrive, can't wait

There are a few more dupes that I can list if anyone wants to know.

This is a blush that I don't think would be nearly as popular if it wasn't for the name. They are marketing geniuses.

Not only does this color not work for me but the sparkle in it is just too much IMO.

@JustJazzmom No. One light swipe of the NARS blush on each cheek on my fair skin is more than enough blush. If I use much more color than that, I tend to get that “Raggedy Anne” look.

@Shanus @JustJazzmomOne sweep is enough for me as well and I am fair but considered the lightest olive.

Hey @Shanus!

@Lipstickdiva I wish it had a different name but this year is the first time I tried it because my usual brand discontinued my shade. Now I ordered Even Pearl Sweet Cheeks and waiting for it to be delivered. My skin is fair/light so I don't want a dramatic color blush.

I tried the much less expensive Milani Luminoso Blush. I saw it listed on blog after blog as the real deal dupe for NARS O. Recently, my 24 yr. old niece who swears by her NARS O blush was visiting and tried my Milani Luminoso. She said, "No!! I like this so much better than my NARS! It's so much softer!"

For whatever it's worth...

+1 I am also fair/light skin and I think I dab the brush into the compact about every 3 days. I just need a quick tap of the brush on my cheeks and I'm good to go. It needs a very light hand, otherwise you start looking like 1970s models.

It is too orange for me. Plus powder blush is aging IMO. I think people bought it for the name to part of the cool girls. .......or maybe not.

I just got this the other day. Been wearing it since. I love it!

A big thumbs up for WnW dupe for Nars O. The Pearlescent Pink has more pigment and less glitter than Nars. It's a winner! $3

I've decided that I don't really like Nars O blush or dupes of it either since I don't like gold obvious shimmer in peach/coral blushes at all.
