NARS Cosmetics Blush in Orgasm 4.8g is the brand's most iconic single product — a peachy-pink powder blush with a fine golden shimmer that mimics the natural flush of warm cheeks. Originally launched in 1999, Orgasm has stayed in continuous bestseller lists for over two decades because of one thing: it suits an unusually wide range of skin tones thanks to its golden undertone, which lets the shade read as a flattering glow rather than a fixed pink. About NARS NARS Cosmetics was founded in 1994 in New York by French makeup artist François Nars, with the original 12 lipsticks shot for Vogue by Mario Sorrenti. Five years on, the launch of Orgasm Blush quietly redefined the powder blush category and went on to become arguably the most-imitated single makeup product of the early 2000s. The blush range has since grown into a full collection — Orgasm Lip Gloss, Liquid Blush, Cheek Palette and Illuminator — but the original powder blush remains the anchor of the line. Key features Iconic shade — a peachy pink with subtle golden shimmer, designed to flatter a wide range of skin tones from fair to deep. Silky, micronised powder formula — buttery-smooth texture that blends easily without patchiness. Buildable colour — sheer on first sweep, layerable for a more pronounced flush. Shimmer finish — soft, skin-like luminosity rather than glittery sparkle. Long-lasting wear — designed to hold colour and finish through a full day. Helps blur the look of imperfections with its softening micropowder texture. Who it's for Orgasm is widely considered one of the closest things to a universal blush — it's flattering across most fair, light and medium skin tones, and works on warmer deep complexions where it tends to pull as a glowing peachy bronze. If your skin runs cool and pale, you may want to apply with a light hand to keep the warmth balanced. A good pick for anyone wanting a single all-day, all-occasion blush that suits day, evening and special-occasion makeup looks. How to use Tap a fluffy blush brush into the powder and shake off any excess. Smile to find the apples of the cheeks, then sweep the brush along the cheekbones, blending upwards towards the temples. Build a second light layer if you want a more pronounced flush. Pair with a matching Orgasm lip product for a coordinated look, or layer over a cream blush for extra dimension. Set with a light dusting of translucent powder if you want a longer-wearing finish on oily skin types.
