Let me start by saying, this blush is a game-changer. The NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush in Orgasm is like a magic potion for your cheeks. It gives that perfect 'just pinched' flush that looks natural yet radiant. I’ve tried countless blushes over the years, but this one stands out for its blendability and longevity.

The texture is lightweight and feels almost like a serum—super hydrating thanks to the Sodium Hyaluronate. I have combination skin, and this doesn’t cling to dry patches or slide off oily areas. It layers beautifully, whether I’m going for a subtle daytime look or building it up for evening glam.

What I love most is the versatility. You can apply it with fingers (my go-to for quick mornings), a brush, or even a sponge. It blends effortlessly, no streaking or patchiness. And the shade? *Chef’s kiss.* Orgasm is a universally flattering mauve-pink with golden micro-shimmer that catches the light just right—not glittery, just glow-y.

Now, let’s talk staying power. This blush doesn’t quit. I’ve worn it through humid summer days and late-night dinners, and it stays put without fading or transferring. For reference, my skin is fair with neutral undertones, and the color adapts beautifully—never too bold or washed out.

A few downsides? If you prefer ultra-pigmented blushes that pack a punch in one swipe, this might feel too sheer initially (though it’s buildable). Also, while the shimmer is subtle, those with very textured skin might want to test first. And yes—it’s pricey, but a little goes a long way.

Pro tip: Pair it with the matching lip balm for a monochromatic vibe that screams ‘I woke up like this.’ Trust me, you’ll feel (and look) effortlessly gorgeous.
