NARS Orgasm Collection
What it is: When it comes to blush colours, it doesn’t get much more iconic than Orgasm from NARS.
The cult-classic shade, which is a pretty peachy-pink hue with a slight subtle undertone of gold, has inspired dozens of dupes — and more than a few lineups when it was first released.
Now the colour has expanded into a curated collection of pink beauty staples with the introduction of an Orgasm Liquid Blush and lipstick.
The liquid blush formula provides full colour payoff with one drop, giving skin a sheer pop of colour with a silky kiss of gold.
Infused with Monoi and Tamanu oils, the formulas transform skin as well as give it that telltale flush.
The lipstick gives lips a translucent hit of pink with a hint of a shine.
NARS has also re-released the tried-and-true pressed powder blush to mark the launch with a limited-edition compact.
What we say: You don’t have to be a diehard NARS fan to appreciate this collection (although it will obviously help).
The universally flattering blush shade really does work well on most (if not all) skin tones, so the trio of products in the pretty pink shade should prove popular with a wide range of beauty fans.
Our tester was especially taken with the liquid blush.
One pump applied to cheeks with a damp beauty blending sponge yielded a natural blush that was pretty — and perfect for summer.
The lightweight formula doesn’t feel heavy on skin and stays in place, even on a sunny day.
While you may not need yet another blush compact or lipstick in your beauty kit, this liquid blush format is worth taking the steps to procure just a few more makeup items in any (likely ever-growing) makeup cache.
