Along with being sensitive, my skin is a nice mixture of tones, primarily a strong pink undertone, which means finding the perfect blush to work with it is a little more difficult. I’ve heard very good things about the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks but I’ll be sticking with my favorite thing, Nars’ Orgasm.
Say wha? Orgasm? Heck yes!
After fashion magazines raved about it and Sephora named it “best of” for the last five years, I had to go in and try it. According to Sephora, it has pink and gold undertones and was deemed as “universally flattering” for all skin tones, which made me more curious to check it out. And trust me, once you try Orgasm, you don’t go back :) Pun intended.
How much it costs: $25
Where you can buy it: NARS counters, Sephora stores and online
What I like about it: The color really is flattering. Trust me, I didn’t want to believe it but it is. You can make it as sun kissed soft or pinched pink as you want and it lasts all day. It spreads evenly and works well with or without foundation on your skin. A Sephora makeup artist also told me you could use this as an eyeshadow if you wanted but I haven’t tried that….yet. It also lasts a really long time. Mine has lasted for over a year and while it’s wearing in parts, I don’t plan to replace it until I’m down to the VERY bottom
What I don’t like about it: It can be very tough to judge when too much is enough. In the beginning, I went out several times looking like a “woman of the night.” Because the color is so soft, it definitely requires some trial and error, but it’s worth it
There are tons of other blush shades to choose from too but I’ll be keeping Orgasm close to my chest…or pants pocket ;) The other colors I recommend checking out if you’re fair skinned like me is Deep Throat and Super Orgasm. Yes, lots of sexual words in this post :)
