If you love the Nars blush in “Orgasm”, but not its luxury price, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve rounded up the best Nars Orgasm Blush Dupes in this all-inclusive shopping guide.
As stunning as it is, the iconic blush may not suit every skin texture or budget. From holy grail drugstore dupes to similar alternatives that are still stunning, this amazing round-up will help you find your perfect dupe for Nars Orgasm.
When it comes to shopping for makeup, I love saving more than splurging. While Nars blush in Orgasm has been my splurge for years, I can’t resist a good dupe!
In theory, luxury makeup should out-perform drugstore brands in terms of formulation and overall user experience, but as most of us know, that’s not always the case.
While Orgasm has a loyal following, it’s not for everyone. Some wearers feel it enhances enlarged pores, settling into fine lines and wrinkles. Others might not want to spend so much money on a peach blush.
The great thing about dupes is that in addition to saving you money, they can sometimes be better than the original! My roundup of Nars Orgasm dupes are not only affordable, but most are so similar to the original it’s scary.
