No wonder this product is considered an absolute classic in the makeup universe. Its rosy-coral shade with very subtle golden shimmer flatters every complexion and its awesome pigmentation allows it to stay put all day long, unlike all the other blushes I've tried so far (it's the only one that still shows traces on the skin until I perform my nighttime cleansing routine).
For those who like that kind of healthy radiance that looks so natural that nobody would say you have applied anything, this is a must. Blends nicely and just a couple of brushstrokes are enough.
Thus, although its high price might look like a drawback at first, it is instead a great investment as it can be used it virtually all makeup looks and a little package lasts for a really long time.

This is such a beautiful color blush. I have very fair skin, and this is wonderfully illuminating and gives a wonderful color. I have to say though, it's quite pricey, however I have used it exclusively for almost a year now and I'm not even close to hitting pan.

So pretty! It's more on the pink side on my skin but I wish it looked more coral, but it's very pretty nonetheless. It's very pigmented, easily blendable and gives you a healthy flush.

Price aside, this is a fantastic blush. It works well on my tan/light brown skin and I imagine that it would suit a fair few other complexions too.
It isn't drying and didn't cause me to develop a rash (my skin is super-sensitive). Also hasn't resulted in any pimples.
I found that it blends fantastically (I've never been the biggest fan of makeup brushes so I actually use my fingers to dab it on and blend - not the most hygienic method but I do wash my hands thoroughly before applying makeup while most make up brushes are washed only weekly).
The packaging is great. As some other reviewer noted, the rubbery exterior does seem to prevent the product breaking up so I've been able to carry it around in my makeup bag.
I considered taking off a point because I don't usually like glitter in my makeup but decided against it because, unlike a lot of other users, I didn't find it excessively glittery - I only notice it if i really look closely in a mirror, and the glitter does make me seem a bit 'glowy' which is nice.

It is pretty pricey - about $45 for a small container but that said, it gives me a healthy glow that no other blush really does, works well with my skin and blushes usually last me ages anyway. Will definitely be repurchasing and also looking into NARS highlighter and bronzer.

I was never a big fan of blush before but NARS Orgasm won me over! It looks very natural and I was surprised how much it made me glow. It is pricey, but a little bit really does go a long way (I skip the brush and dab & blend a bit with my fingertips) so it lasts awhile.

I love this shade, it really makes me look naturally flushed and glowing, in a good way. I had been looking around for drug store blushes that I liked, and after buying several, none compare to this. I just love the shade.

This is the most flattering blush I own. As a matter of fact, when I'm not sure what color of blush to wear, I reach for this. When one looks at me--very pale, but really florid as well--this blush shouldn't make sense on my face. However, whenever I wear it, I get tons of compliments about my skin. Even though I wear this blush a lot, I have had my container of it for years without hitting pan. I love this stuff!

This product had a lot of hype a couple years back and that was the main reason why I bought it but as soon as I did and I tried it on, I was disappointed. Everyone kept on saying that it was meant for all skin colours but I beg to differ. I am olive skinned and it didn't suit me at all. I've had it for four years, it was one of the first brand name blushes I've ever bought and I've only used it four or five times max. I was very unhappy with this product.

I bought this after reading the great reviews however, I don't really like this product. Its hard to build the color on my NC40 skin tone. Once the product is on it looks too sparkly because it has gold specs in it. I think I would have liked a more solid peachy color. I think this would work on more fair skin tones, I just don't think it works for my skin tone.

LOVE This colour, hate the texture. It isn't silky and is too shiny. Plus, it takes a while to build. What the heck, Nars? You're supposed to be a class act. I'll look for a dupe at MAC next time.

Side note: I like the packaging. I'm convinced the rubbery exterior protects the pressed powder from shattering - like a cell phone cover.

After reading all the hype about this blush, I had to purchase it. I was very excited when opening it, but to my disappointment, the blush looked very orange when I opened the box. I've got very pale skin, so I was afraid I'd get an ugly, orange look, but when I put it on, it immediately it looked wonderful. My cheeks were literally glowing, but it looked natural even without blending, and it wasn't orange at all. It has a perfect amount of glitter, not too much, not too little, and it looked great on my pale skin. I felt simply radiant, and couldn't help but keep looking in the mirror to see the wonderful glow I had. This is definitely one of my favourite blushes, and I definitely see why it's so hyped.

Although many people are completely in love with this product, it falls flat for me. It is just WAY too sparkly! Glitter is just not a good day look and I find if you have any bumps, dry skin, etc. it really accentuates them. The pigment is just not as high-quality as similarly priced blushes either. Not to mention, it is quite pricy for such a small compact.

I still have this after owning for two years because I usually would only layer a touch on top of my benetint for a night out or dinner/drinks. I didn't buy it for this purpose, but I really can't handle during the day. Which means for me, it really isn't worth it because it is too expensive for an "every now and then" application.

It's not a go-to blusher in my mind. If you are looking for a peachy powder blush and want a bit of sheen, I would go with tarte amazon clay blushes or MAC. I have found their peach colour is very comparable in tone. However they look natural: not too matte but not glittery.

I wasn't crazy about this blush at first but I then I started using it more frequently and I fell in love with it. It is the most beautiful cascading, coraly pink colour. I defiantly think that it looks high end on my face as, (this is just how it appears to me), it almost has myriads of different pink and warm tones. I'm not sure that the blush even does have different tones in it, I don't have it in front of me, but this is definitely how it turns out on my skin tone. Would recommend!

I tried this on in the store, and it barely picked up any pigment. When I blended it out on my hand, it looked sheer, sheer, sheer, and all I got was chunks of glitter. This an over-hyped, over-priced product that isn't much to really rave about. I have fair skin, and this barely showed up on me! When I packed on enough product, it looked very, very, orange, too orange in fact. Too orange and glittery. Plus, compared to some drugstore brands, the amount of product is a joke. It's not finely-milled either; it's gritty like sandpaper. Gritty and bumpy. Not a fan.

I don't get the hype with this blush. This is my first "high end" blush and it's just kind of blah. There is nothing great about it. It's not worth the price. Some of my drugstore blushes are better then this one.

I love, love this! I am a fair blonde and beauty counter salespeople always pair me up with a pink color so I end up looking like a doll. This was the case at Sephora but I stood up for myself and said 'Hey! How about Orgasm? I heard it looks good on any color skin!' and sure enough - it does! I have no reason to ever try a different shade again.

Very pretty blush. However it does not pick up enough pigment and when i finally get enough pigment it brings out the redness in my face really bad . When you blend it out well it does look rather pretty . I dont understand the hype but it would look pretty on anyone. I would not buy this again due to the price, not worth it to me
