Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Yup! This one is on the list as well 🙂 If you haven’t, you can add vote to strengthen its place on the list!
Lisha Light-Medium, Yellow undertones. Combination skin. »Nars Orgasm has been on my lust list for such a long time! Springsheen looks pretty close but I think the closest dupe of Nars Orgasm is Sleek Rose Gold!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »That one is also on The Dupe List (there are 20 or 30 dupes!)! 🙂 If you haven’t, you can add vote to strengthen its place on the list!
Christine Light-Medium, Yellow undertones. Dry skin. »Thanks for posting this Christine. I recently picked up Deep Throat, which I see is a dupe…now I can skip this 🙂
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Deep Throat is definitely like the darker version of Orgasm!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Can’t say I have that!
marinars orgasm, the only blush I wear and still own the very first one though I’ve hit pan *__* it just looks so damn good on me D; can’t imagine wearing anything else *_*
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »It’s a very pretty color!
mineChristine I could not find comments on rouge g gracia 66 post so asking here. Which blush would you reccomened to go with this lipstick? I just got it yesterday and love it.
JJ Light, Pink, slight pink undertones. Combination skin. »The Balm hot mama blush is very similar, actually hot mama is exactly what I was hoping orgasm would be.
JJ Light, Pink, slight pink undertones. Combination skin. »If anyone is interested in trying Hot Mama Blush, they should check out Khols.com or their local store, they currently have a set with Hot Mama blush, Sexy Mama setting powder, and Bahama Mama bronzer for $38 in which all three are full size.
Lauren Fair, Pink undertones. Normal skin. »I added Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek Blush in Feather as a dupe. Not sure if you added it or not (for some reason only 2 full pages of your dupes are showing up for this product on my Mac) – but I think it’s pretty close. I find Orgasm to be a bit too shimmery for daytime, and I love using The Balm’s Frat Boy blush as an alternative without the shimmer overload that I tend to get from Orgasm.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Feather wasn’t listed! I just approved your submission 🙂 It won’t actually let you submit if we have it on the list! xoThanks for adding it!
Judith Fair, Yellow, moderately yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I had belle bamba as a deluxe sample and I really didn’t like it on me. Too red for my skin tone which is too bad because it’s a lovely shade.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »It has a much subtler shimmer and is a darker pink, so I could see it turning red on some!
fancie Deep Dark, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Springsheen and Dolce Pink are so pretty!!
GraceI don’t have Bella Bamba, but I do have Sugarbomb, and I find Sugarbomb quite close to Orgasm as well.. I actually use Sugarbomb more than Orgasm as Orgasm has gone rock solid so doesn’t transfer to brush very well, kinda odd that happened.. not sure if I got a bad batch or maybe it’s an indication it needs to be thrown out… lol probably the latter as it is a few years old.. but haven’t reached pan and feel like it’d be a waste…
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Sugarbomb is on the list! I think Sugarbomb is similar but definitely depends on your skin tone as Sugarbomb is a lighter version to me so if you have more medium or darker skin, it might show up differently!Sometimes with powders, if you double-dip (essentially), oils from your brush/skin can transfer to the powder and harden over time. You could try taking a clean paper towel and brushing it across the top layer of the blush.
Erin Fairest, Neutral undertones. Combination skin. »I love that shade, it’s about as warm as I dare go!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I hope you’ll submit it to the Dupe List! xo
Shayni Medium-Tan, Yellow, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Oily skin. »Orgasm doesn’t really show up on my medium-olive skin (Face Atelier Tan, MUFE F&B #34), except as glitters. For me, Bella Bamba is so completely different from Orgasm I wouldn’t have thought to compare the two.; but they certainly look almost interchangeable in the photos! On me Bella Bamba is a dense, raspberry pink, while Orgasm is a sort of sheer-nude.Flirt Peek-a-Blush in Urge reminds me a lot of Orgasm. And Cargo Blu-Ray Blush.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Deep Throat might work better on your skin tone, as Orgasm tends to fall short on medium-dark and darker skin tones.
Abigail WeightmanI have been after Nars Orgasm for a while now put never plucked up the courage to spend so much on a blush, plus I actually don’t own anything from Nars either. What’s going on there!? Any slightly cheaper dupes you know of??XX
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Hi Abigail,Did you check The Dupe List? There are tons of dupes available, and you can sort by price. The post above showed two cheaper dupes as well.
AudreyNZYou must have great fun finding dupes for this blush, Christine. What about the Balm Hot Mama? Is it close enough a dupe? That’s what I ended up with after a lengthy net search:D
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I don’t think I have Hot Mama, sorry!
Helena Fair, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin. »I submitted Lancôme’s Mandarin Sky (you reviewed it here: http://www.temptalia.com/lancome-shimmer-mandarin-sky-blush-review-photos-swatches) as a dupe; I don’t own Orgasm but I love Mandarin Sky! It’s probably the more dramatic, strongly-scented sister. It also has .02 oz more product for the same price, but is harder to find.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks, Helena! 😀 Added this!
Ankita Medium, Neutral undertones. Combination skin. »Thanks for this Christine! NYX Powder blush in Pinched is supposed to be a dupe as well. I don’t own Orgasm as I found it too shimmery on my skin tone but I can’t resist thinking of it every time someone talks about it!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I believe Pinched is on the full Dupe List (you can view more by clicking “view more” above), but I don’t have it myself!
Sylirael Light-Medium, Pink undertones. Combination skin. »This is so interesting! I really love looking at dupes, and seeing how similar or different they are – not for any financial/purchasing reason, necessarily, just to have a look at the colours and textures.Hazard of being a colour/pigment chemist, I guess 😛
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Me too!I didn’t know you were a color/pigment chemist! What!
Rachel Light-Medium, Yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »This is so awesome and helpful! Thank you so much!
minimei have nc 20- nc 25 skin don’t have orgasm but i have springsheen. it’s ok but i find it too sheer, i have to build it up and it has too much shimmer. i also have peachykeen which i like better. is peachykeen closer to deep throat or to orgasm? i would like to try a nars blush and don’t know which, although i shouldn’t because i have to many blushes. untill now my fave blush brands are dior and chanel
minimeforgot to say that i love frivole from chanel. i wouldn’t have thought to wear such a shade until a couple of years ago when i got a limited edition soleil tan de chanel corail bronze summer 2011 (the one with 4 stripes) and fell in love with the coral shade. i used to use just that shade separately as a blush
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Peachykeen is a little darker than Springsheen, I think, but not by a lot. I think it’s pretty close to both Orgasm/Deep Throat – Deep Throat doesn’t have as strong of a gold shimmer as Orgasm, so it appears darker and pinker applied. Maybe something like Dolce Vita or Amour?
Tabitha Medium, Olive undertones. Combination skin. »I have Bella Bamba love it and it lasts ages. I’ve had it for about 3 years now.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Those Box o’ Powders last awhile!
Jade Light, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Christine! Bare Minerals The Natural High is not on there, unless I’m very much mistaken!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »This relationship exists, but for some reason it’s not showing on the NARS Orgasm page (it shows on bareMinerals The Natural High’s dupe page, though, but the reverse relationship exists), so we’ll be looking into this today!Thank you!
JadeWelcome! 🙂 I know it’s a personal favourite of yours too – I LOVE the formula, but the shade itself can be a bit much on me, too pink? Or something!
NirvanaHi Christine, woulod you recommend Nars Orgasm or Mac Fleur Power for an NC 42 as an everyday blush? Thanks in advance:)
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Fleur Power would show up better.
Faiza Medium, Yellow undertones. Combination skin. »the balm hot mama is also considered as a strong dupe of Nars Orgasm around blogosphere..
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Sorry, I don’t think I have this! I can only vet dupes if I actually see the two, you know? Users can submit ones they know, though!
