I did not like this blush at all. I have been trying to find a good dupe for Nars Orgasm, but this is definately no it. Even if I was not looking for a dupe, this blush still stinks. It gives and old lady pop of color. Don't understand the great reviews.

Got this blush because I heard it was a great dupe for my favorite blush, Nars Orgasm. I tried it but it barely even shows up on my skin and I'm about a nc 35. I tried putting more on then my face looked too pink. Maybe it would work on really really pale skin, but it didn't look like Orgasm to me, like I wanted.

I love the peachy pink color with the gold specks of shimmer it has in it. Its VERY pigmented and on fair girls be careful not to overdo it. It lasts all day, and it's beautiful in the summertime because i love how the sun catches the gold specks it looks like my skin is glowing on the inside! Lol. My only small con is the packaging.. i dont like that you have to buy the blush itself, and then the case for it. And im not a fan of strip-pan blushes, i prefer the circle shape pans.. but it's not a monster deal i can live with it. Lol. I probably would not repurchase, simply because i like to try new products, and this pan will last a long time already!

OMG I just got this blush and I am in love! I used NARS Orgasm before this and decided to try the Mark brand since it was soooo cheap.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this blush! The color is so beautiful, I have ordered it for three of my friends. I had the NARS Orgasm and I have to say I love this blush more. You can't beat the price. I'm so glad I gave Avon a chance

NC25-30 with yellow undertone. Dupe for Orgasm so tried it. Peachy-pink on me. No glitter, just slight shimmer (don't like too much shimmer). Looks like natural flush rather than muddy. Orgasm screams obvious on me. Just a light hand works so the small pan will last a while. Very affordable but lots of other brands/shades to try so won't repurchase. Cons: have to buy the container to store it in or the blush will get battered. I use a proper blush brush rather than the one that the container comes with.

This is a very good dupe to NARS Orgasm blush; it's also very affordable. It has a nice amount of pigmentation and it doesn't go OTT as far as shimmer is concerned. This is a must-have, IMHO, especially if you want the Orgasm look without paying the price.

I absolutely adore this blush. I've always been a fan of mark because of their low price and high quality. It's peachy coral, quite shimmery, pigmented, last all day long for me. For $8, this blush worth every penny. The only thing I would hope for is a compact for this blush. I hate to put it in the clear fragile palette.

I want to say this is a pretty good dupe for NARS Orgasm blush because they look very similar. This is a very pretty blush and is very pigmented however it's a bit too sparkly for my taste and for my pale skin I would prefer a more rosey colored blush. I also wish Mark sold their blushes in compacts instead of cheap plastic containers. Overall this is a nice blush but just too sparkly for me.

My HG blush since Milani changed their Orgasm dupe.

Great color, peachy/pink with just the right amount of shimmer (probably less shimmer than Orgasm, or least less glitter than Orgasm). It doesn't take much and, at the price, it's really a bargain, especially compared to $28 for NARS.

I think this blush would go great on any skin tone, although darker complexions might have to use a little bit more of it for full effect. I've never had any problem with it irritating my cheeks, which Orgasm sometimes did (those harsh glitter flakes, I'm assuming).

I've tried several MARK blushes and loved them all, but this is my all-time favorite. I think anyone who likes Orgasm would like this product as well (and have enough money leftover for a couple of lip glosses, LOL).

Love Cameo Glo and Bronze Glo as contour since it is not so shimmery.

WOW, this is the best blush I've ever tried, not that I've tried that many, but enough to find this outstanding! I have fair skin and this color is just perfect for me! A little goes a long way, it shows up easily on my skin after first application, but at the same time, it's easy to control the amount of color, it's pretty fool proof and it blends really well. The color is so pretty, doesn't make me look pale, as some blushes tend to do. It has this perfect tone, not too cold, not too warm, just perfect. It makes my cheeks glow, I look awake, healthy and fresh in a natural way. I don't see the shimmer as shimmer on the cheeks (thank god, because I'm not into shimmer or glitter on my face!) I just see shine and glow! So cheap that it can't be true! Package is not the best, it's not very protecting and can easily break I think, but I guess that's how they can keep the price down? The price is unbelievable, so cheap! Good quality, better than the powder blushes I have from MAC, definately worth a try! I will buy again.

My favorite blush. I use it to highlight the apples of my cheek along with marks cameo blush in the hollows of my cheek. The shimmer is very pretty without being over powering. It translates to a beautiful glow when applied.
I like the consistency of the powder. It's silky smooth and applies easily.
Semi-dupe for NARS Orgasm. I actually like it better then NARS orgasm because it's not excessively pigmented. I don't like my blushes to be as pigmented as a eye shadow. It looks unnatural.

Love this blush from Mark! I purchased after reading the rave reviews on MUA and I must say, I agree 100%! I think I am the only one who doesn't care for the Nars Orgasim blush - way too sparkly for my skin. But Mark After Glo, now this is a shimmer blush I can get on board with! It's very subtle, perfect for the office! Go buy it, you won't regret it!

I will admit, I am a Mark junkie. If it's makeup, I'll buy it. I have every color of blush they make, and this is by FAR my favorite. On those days when I'm in a rush, it's a quick dusting of mineral powder, fill in my eyebrows a bit, a touch of mascara and this wonderful blush on cheeks AND eyes. It's a nice color...very subtle. And yet it really does wonders to brighten up a tired complexion. Highly recommended.

I was pretty stoked when I got this because I've never really given blush a proper chance after a couple bad goes with it, and now I can't believe I went ALL THIS TIME without freakin' blush.
Anywho, I find this particular blush very appealing on my pale skin. My boyfriend actually took notice without my having to ask him first how it looked. Success.
I find the color to be a nice peachy pink, but leaning more on the pink side. Definitely brightens up a pale pallor.
Considering I'd never really applied blush before, this was quite easy to apply without messing up, as it starts sheer with a light hand enabling it to be built up.
The shimmer is just right in my opinion (I don't like shimmery makeup). It doesn't look harsh in light changes. It stays put.
Give it a go.

This blush is amazing. Its my HG for shimmer blush a long with urban glo (from flip for it kit in urban neutrals) If you are into shimmer this is a must have. Not to much, not to little, just right:) It compares to Nars Orgasm but i prefer this one more, its complimentary to your skin rather than overpowering. This is also a more summer appropriate shade that i think would compliment any skin color.


Some people do not like the packaging but i don't mind it. You could get the custom color palette or do What i did. When i first bought this ages ago i ordered a flip for it color kit. Loved the eye shadows and the lip colors, but not the blush. I depoted the blush put in a magnet strip and voila! you can put any shade you want. Don't let the packaging scare you!

I really like the color of this blush. It's on the lighter side which I like and it gives you a beautiful glow, although for me it can be a little too glittery so I just put a little of my foundation over the blush so I still get the color, but not all the glitter. I definitely recommend this blush and I will buy again!
