I think this blush is beautiful on my fair skin. If I use a light hand it adds a pretty warmth to my cheeks, or if I want a more dramatic look, I can build it up. Normally I dislike blushes with shimmer in them as they tend to accentuate my large pores, but I don't find that this one does. I do think that if you have any acne on your cheeks, the blush tends to accentuate it. I usually go over any spots with a dab of concealer though, so it isn't much of an issue for me. I have very acne-prone skin, and after wearing this almost every day for the past two months, I haven't broken out. I feel like there is a lot of product in the pan. I wear makeup about six days a week and it appears there is still a lot of product left.

This blusher has lasted me almost a year, and I use it almost every day. Not a bad thing to say, it stays on all day, doesn't break me out and for the duration it lasts I'd say dirt cheap!

I like the sparkles, it lightens the face, and in this blush, its barely noticeable.
It is great to use day and night. I have fair skin and this peachy color adds touch of pinkish just as much as I want.
The price is little in the high side, if the price is less, it will be my best blush.
All in all I like it and recommend it for younger women

After a year of everyday use, I just started to hit pan. I will most definitely repurchase this. I'm also looking into possibly buying another color instead. 'Deep throat' most definitely caught my attention. Haha. Anyway, this has last me a long time and I've gotten compliments on it and I never get compliments on my skin/makeup. I don't have horrible skin by any means, but I just never thought that I'd get compliments on my "beautiful flushed cheeks".

I will not buy a dupe of this color, the NARS formula stays beautiful for 12 hours. I've never had to reapply. To me, this line of blushes are definitely worth the cost.

I swapped for this and it is absolutely sublime. The shimmer is barely noticeable and it is a beautiful peachy-pink. I am very fair and this is not too bright at all, though it looks bright gold-pink in the pan. Awkward when my grandma asked what blush I was wearing though :/

Such a sexy and sophisticated product that works very well. I received this blush as a birthday present and I can't thank my friend enough. I only use this when i'm going somewhere worthy of putting on a lot of makeup and it really completes my look. I use a MAC blush brush and pat a tiny amount onto the brush and dab onto my cheekbones. It cant be over powering so if you want a mild look then only add a little.

I understand all the fuss about this blush, it is very flattering (on the right skin tone) however the reputation of being Universally flattering is not true at all!


I think I was misled by makeupalley reviews because the majority of people making them have medium - dark complexions.


I am very fair, usually a 01-02 in all brands and this blush look awful on me, for several reasons.


1. I am way too pale for the shade and it looks very harsh on me


2. It is not super great on people with cool undertones (me)


3. It has too much sparkle for my taste (however it still depends on your skin tone - it looked Fantastic on my mother who have a darker complexion and yellow undertones)


I would recommend very pale people (and people with pink/cool undertones who does not wear this very well) to get NARS deep throat as:


Orgasm = A mix of pink and peach, with bold golden shimmer and warm undertones.


Deep throat = Like Orgasm, yet the intensity is turned down a notch and the gold shimmer is a lot softer and less "yellow" in my opinion.


My final verdict:

If you are lucky enough to have a medium-dark complexion Orgasm is for you, otherwise get Deep throat <3

I love this blush.

Over Christmas, I put it on half the women in my family, and it looked better on all of them than the blushes they were currently using. I know that was enough to convert at least my mom, who now uses it daily.

I guess the shimmer is controversial. Personally, I love it. I have light-medium skin and I never-ever notice any sparkliness, just a natural glow. My mom is in her fifties and would look silly with sparkles, but this just warms her right up.

My best blush ever, i have medium skintone and i get tan quickly but even summertime in looks great, very natural, i people ask me which blush i used everytime i use it. I use it with Laguna bronzer for contour lately and i think this way it enhances the look absolutely. I got it with the Orgasm gloss and when they are used together it forms a complete look all around your face. I love it..

It is a lot more shimmery than I thought it would be. I like shimmer on my lips and sometimes on my eye but not on my face, but that's just my personal preference. After you apply it you need to blend it pretty quickly. Overall it stays on all day and has a very pretty color. But I do find myself using blushes that I got from Wallgreens more.

This blush is way over-hyped. Sure it's a cute color but it so totally dupable it's ridiculous. I splurged on this because I felt like I was missing out but after I had it a few months I never reached for it again. It just sits ion my vanity collecting dust. I just prefer so many other blushes over this one. I'm most upset I spent so much for a blush when I use my cheaper ones everyday. On top of that I opened it one day and it had shattered into pieces, what a waste for something I didn't even love. Won't repurchase.

I really, really like this blush, and I'm extremely picky about blushes. It's a beautiful color, both in the pan and on my NC25 skin. I could see this looking good on just about anyone. It isn't very shimmery on my skin, and it looks very natural. I would repurchase this, but it seems unlikely that I'll hit pan anytime in the foreseeable future. I'm still looking for my HG blush, but this will definitely do in the meantime!

I absolutley love this blush! I bought the NARS orgam/laguna blush bronzer duo. The two together are so pretty! This blush is great! The color pay off is wonderful and I love the color! It has a very slight shimmer or sheen to it, but doesn't come off glitterly! The color is a peachy pink and looks wonderful on light/medium skin tones like mine! I can't say enough great things about this blush! It stays on all day and has wonderful texture. The only downfall is that it is very expensive! You get what you pay for though. All in all it is a grade A blush

Probably one of the most well-known blushes in the makeup community and for a good reason too!
This is my go to non-matte blush. Gives a rosy glow - can be used for blush as well as contouring.
Extremely versatile and can be used for many different looks.
Lasts for ages as it is very pigmented and a little bit goes a long way.

This is probably this most well known blush in all of the beauty community. I have to say that i can't honestly find a flaw with this blush. It has a smooth texture, it is very pigmented has a great balance of cool and warm undertones to work on a variety of skin colours and it has a beautiful sheen so it can act as a subtle highlight as well. It has a descent longevity, it lasts on my dry skin about 6-7 hours before fading. I don't think that this is my favourite NARS blush but it is definitely a go-to blush when i'm looking to perk up my complexion any time of the year. I recommend this blush to everyone.

I do not mind the $29 price tag (Nars blushes are now $29). they last for YEARS.

Orgasm is a try before you buy blush. LOVE IT.

hands down, one of the best blushes out there.

Pretty color, but way too shimmery for me. I prefer Korres Blush in Peach. It is the same color but does not have the sparkles.

This is an absolutely gorgeous colour, I love the way it goes on and really suits my pale skin. It is a bit expensive but worth the money. For MUAs with Mac Pro an illamasqua discount I'd recommend illamasquas blusher in lover and highlighting with Mac pigment in melon.. Quite similar! All round one if the best blushers out there.. Absolutely hate Nars packaging though!

WORST BLUSH EVER! The sparkles are awful. Why does NARS insist on putting glitter in their blushes?!
