My connection with Orgasm blush runs hot as well as cold. I’ve used it, however not much lately. sometimes I feel like it’s as well shimmery for me, like whenever I’m using a great amount of base makeup, ’cause then all I see are PORES, PORES, PORES!

But lately, since I’ve been doing the whole very little base/no base thing, which is what I did over the Memorial Day weekend, I have a higher appreciation for Orgasm. It’s wonderful on bare skin or on top of a very little base, like a tinted moisturizer.

All weekend long I used under-eye concealer as well as truly nothing else on the rest of my deal with to even out my skin, as well as with this blush, I discover that the less you’re using under it, the better, since when the shimmer isn’t sitting on top of foundation or concealer or powder, it doesn’t highlight pores as much it does otherwise, so what you mainly see is the peachy pink color, which just looks so fresh as well as youthful.

(Keep tellin’ yourself that, Karen, LOL!) as well as that’s when I totally get the magic of NARS Orgasm. So, yeah, I’m feeling the large blush a great deal this year — however only on bare skin! If you’re a makeup minimalist, you’ll like it.

By the way, if you have this blush sitting around however don’t wear it frequently since you feel like it’s as well shimmery, try buffing it down like crazy with a clean blush clean after you apply it. A powder blush works too, as does a skunk brush. any type of huge deal with clean with a fluffy head should work. The buffing disperses most of the golden shimmer, so all that gets left behind is the peachy pink (just be mindful of not buffing away your foundation as well as concealer, if you’re using them).

The balm is shiny, smooth as well as quite moisturizing (although, if my lips were additional flaky, I’d reach for my tube of hourglass Lip Oil in a heartbeat instead), as well as it doesn’t taste or odor like anything. My lips are pigmented, as well as it looks more peach than gold on me. It likewise looks much more intense right after I apply it than it does a bit later.

Dontcha like the increased gold?
It’s about half as intense after five minutes, by which time I’m able to see a great deal of my natural lip color, together with great deals of shine, however I believe that’s the point — it’s a balm, after all.

I like it sufficient to have kept it in my handbag all weekend long, as well as I couldn’t assist however reapply it over as well as over again, since it feels so darned good.

It’s a bit overpriced…but I can see myself utilizing every last drop.

Approved, however only for the minimalists who like a bit color.
