orgasm may not give you an orgasm, but…
By N. L. Erickson-Gunther
I am a makeup artisan for NARS, and one thing I always emphasize to my clients it that NOTHING is for everyone, Orgasm blush included. If you are not employed to wearing blush, or only a little, then Orgasm will be flattering, but still only to a fairer woman. If you are more comfortable with makeup or color, then I commend colors that look to the naked eye as much more intense- astounding pigment means apply with a LIGHT touch: Exhibit A for a very reasonable caucasian or asian woman, Taos for a light-skinned black woman, a Latina or South Asian woman, and Taj Mahal for a darker-skinned black woman. Crazed may be applied by any individual of any skintone, as well as Deep Throat and Gilda, and Lovejoy is a pretty bronzer for a a very reasonable caucasian woman or a natural-looking blush for a darker skinned woman. Nico diffuses and softens anything (or tones down a rushed blush job), and Sin and Outlaw are two beauteous shimmery shades for fairer women. Universally, the pigment is full and outstandingly refined, and the application process- with no brush- is always a little awkward for those of us who travel (or put our makeup on in transit.)

Best Blushes to Date
By The Mariners Fan
As a makeup lover, I have to say this is the spotlight of NARS’ entire line. The blushes come in a range of flattering shades for each skin type. To find makeup that is universally flattering for closely each person in the world is hard to do. As an african american female (NC 45), I have been competent to find at least 5 shades that are perfect.
Taj Mahal: I believe that this is a ought to have for women of color. Its a more glorious golden orange and looks scary in the pan. All you would need is a little bit on the cheeks and it instantaneously warms up the skin.
Exhibit A: Another scary color in the pan but looks great on skin. It is a matte red and again, all you need is a touch.
Torrid: To me this is the blush that is Orgasm for women of color. Orgasm on darker skin looks like a pinkish highlighter and doesn’t deposit much color on the face. Torrid is a darker (darker than Orgasm) peachy pink color that I use to give my face a nice flush.
Mounia: A darker plum color with shimmer, looks outstanding on the darkest of girls, a great option for sultry or glamourous looks.
Taos: A darker dusty rose color with a lot of gold. This blush is a nice option for days I want to undertake something different.
Albatross: Not a blush but a highlighter, it goes on the tops of your cheekbones to define and spotlight that area. Looks white in pan but goes on the skin like a gold shade, gives rise to a candlelit glow to the face.
I would unquestionably say to undertake out at least one NARS’ blush as I’m sure you’ll likely find one that you love. They are exceedingly pigmented, which is why you only need the tinest amount, and long lasting. To me they’re worth each penny.

Nice blush but not spectacular
By concurrent1
Everything I read said that Nars Orgasm was the best blush ever, in the whole world and on and on… I ran out of blush so I got a Nars blush in the Orgasm color … Ok, so it is nice. The texture of the pressed powder is very fine, and it goes on with no problems or difficulties with a big sable brush. The compact is nice looking but it has no applicator, so if you travel make sure you pack an applicator for this.
I like the blush, but I don’t think I just HAVE to have it again. I actually like the Yves Saint Laurent Blush Variation 11, and the new YSL Touche Blush that has the applicator built into the bottle. I think I like the YSL merchandise a lot more than Nars. Nars have a tendancy to skimp on applicators – and make it difficult for you to use their merchandise if you travel. I have their eyeliner in a bottle with a discerned applicator – a pain to travel with too. (YSL productions also smell better than Nars products)
