The way I fell in love with the Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette when I was younger happened with the NARS Orgasm blush. Orgasm is just a stunning, OG warm-toned peachy pink with golden shimmers, and I couldn’t be more excited about the NARS Liquid Blush version of the best-selling NARS shade.
After the NARS Liquid Blush went viral on TikTok, I was also 100% sure I needed this one in my collection. But… is it worth the hype?
- The formula is pigmented
- It’s buildable if you want more color
- It blends easily into the skin
- Stays on all-day
- The pump easily loosens up
- NARS isn’t cruelty-free
- Quite expensive
Even though I always loved NARS as a brand, I didn’t own many products for years. My most recent purchase was the NARS Voyageur Eyeshadow Palette, until a couple of weeks ago. I’m not sure what happened, but I think I fell in love with NARS all over again and my collection grew exponentially lol.
Now I have a lot of their blushes, base products, and lip products so expect more NARS reviews in the future lol. However, today we’re focusing on the NARS Liquid Blush I got in the shade Orgasm. There are 5 different shades in total, but I had to get the OG shade, of course.
What Is The NARS Liquid Blush
The NARS Liquid Blush effortlessly glides on the skin for a lasting, natural-looking glow. A uniquely buildable and blendable formula allows you to create your perfect cheek color by using anywhere from one drop to a complete pump. Ideal for mixing textures: layer over powder blush for high-impact color, or apply first for a diffused effect. Includes Monoi and Tamanu oils, known for extra moisture and resilience.
Benefits
- A silky weightless fluid that creates a natural-looking, second-skin finish.
- A veil of color on the skin creates a healthy glow.
- A buildable formula that blends effortlessly for foolproof applications.
How To Use
- For the best results, shake well before use;
- Dispense anywhere from one drop to a complete pump of the Liquid Blush;
- Apply with your fingertips or a wet sponge for a natural, effortless effect;
- To intensify color and add dimension, layer any other blush shade over the Liquid Blush;
- It can be worn under or over foundation for a range of effects.
Do not twist it open. To open, pull the cap straight off. Twisting may cause the enclosed pump to be removed along with the cap. To close securely and ensure the product will not leak, place the cap over the pump and turn clockwise.
Things To Note

NARS Liquid Blush Orgasm Review & Swatches
The Liquid Blush in Orgasm is a stunning warm peachy pink with golden shimmers, which is hard to capture in a photo, but if you look closely, you can tell. This results in a gorgeous peachy pink flush of color on the face with a dewy, luminous but natural finish. And I adore this look!
Application
The formula is very thin and runny, so you must be careful. On top of that, you don’t need much, so it’s better to start with one little drop. I don’t even think I ever used one complete pump, to be honest, as the pigment is similar to the Rare Beauty Liquid Blush, and so you want to be careful (however, that one is even more pigmented, lol).
Just start with a little bit, apply it to your hand, dab your wet sponge in it, and then apply it to the face. This is my preferred way of application, as I love how natural the finish looks, but the fingers work well too.
Formula
I just absolutely adore this liquid blush; it’s truly unique, in my opinion. The formula is so lightweight, thin, and easy to apply. It blends into the skin so quickly and so beautifully. Since I dabbed the product into the skin, I never had my foundation beneath it moving around or looking patchy; I don’t know how it would look if you used swiping motions.
I also tried a brush but didn’t swipe either; I like to dab because that’s the best way to apply cream or liquid products on top of a foundation anyway. But like I said, I never experienced anything terrible when applying the liquid blush.
Longevity
I never experienced problems building up the pigment if I wanted more color payoff. On top of that, it stays on all day and still looks perfectly fine at the end of the day. Even without setting it with any powder. Even after a humid, sweaty day! It’s bulletproof, for sure. It also looks super pretty with another blush on top; I like to use Orgasm powder blush or any other blush with a soft shimmer, so it stays looking dewy. Matte powder blush is also a perfect option to use, it’ll only lessen the sparkles in the liquid blush a little bit.
Packaging
I would say that the only disadvantage could be the pump because I noticed that even though I pull off the cap, I probably twist it slightly, too, without really knowing it. After a couple of times doing this, the pump started to loosen, which I noticed on time but could end up a bit messier if I didn’t notice.
Alternatives
Final Verdict
If you’re looking for a liquid blush with a dewy finish, you need the NARS Liquid Blush in Orgasm in your collection! It’s genuinely one of the prettiest and most comfortable cream/liquid blush I’ve tried. It stays on incredibly and looks just as incredible all day. I couldn’t recommend this more!

This sounds like a beautiful formula! I don’t love the Orgasm shade as much as their other blushes so good to hear there are a few other options! xx
