"This blush is famous for a reason. It's got that golden glow underneath the pink and it's so healthy looking. It's really beautiful. Some things are classics for a reason, and some things stand the test of time for a reason. This included."

"NARS Orgasm Blush is my favorite blush in the whole wide world, and it's the one I'm currently wearing right now, but it's also the only blush I've ever worn, so there's that. I got it at a fun box that I buy, [...] not gifted to me prior to starting on YouTube however long ago, and I've also purchased and used it in the past. It's a really good blush, very complementary for a variety of different skin tones, lasts and looks great across multiple seasons, just a very bright and nice color."

"Now I'm coming in with my Nars Orgasm Blush. I don't need very much of this."

"I discovered this blush, it's classic from them. In my opinion, it looks good on everyone, it's a nice pink, and I get compliments on it whenever I wear it. Right now Sephora has a nice little gift set where you get a full size of the Afterglow Orgasm lip balm that I love, a little mini of the blush, and a small blush brush, so I think that's a great little gift set for someone who likes makeup, because this is a blush that goes over well and it's just so beautiful and I love it."

"The Nars Orgasm Blush, long before this recent renewed interest we'll say in makeup, I had used the Nars blush, and this blush in my opinion is universally complimentary across a wide array of skin tones. I think it looks great, it's a beautiful color. Recently at a YouTube event I went to, someone complimented me, what blush are you wearing, and I was like, oh, it's Nars Orgasm."

"The NARS Orgasm Blush, I really liked, that was a flattering color. [...] I'm not really a blush fan, but that was one product [...] I wore consistently for the duration of its life. I never repurchased it, only because I was too cheap and told myself I didn't need blush. [...] That product seems to be flattering across multiple skin tones and undertones, [...] I really think it is a very flattering color."

"I did have a rekindling of a love affair with an old favorite this year. That's the NARS Blush in Orgasm. I love it. I use this all the time. I find that powder blush, when you're in a hurry, it's so much easier than cream blush. Cream blush, you like have to concentrate on what you're doing to make it blend out right. Powder blush, it's like you go and you are out the door. So I did have a little rekindling of my love for this, and I've been using this quite a lot lately."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
