NARS Orgasm Edge Talc-Free Powder Blush is a new matte shade of the beloved and cult-favorite shade Orgasm. I’m pretty sure everyone has been waiting forever for NARS to finally release Orgasm in a shimmer-free formula and we’re finally getting that with NARS Orgasm Edge. I wasn’t going to pick this up as I love Orgasm as it is and I do prefer shimmer finish blushes but I decided what the heck, why not, I’ll try it. Just a heads up but with this new Talc-Free formula the original Orgasm shade is a lot different than it once was. So, if you do love the shade and it’s available to you at a department store you might want to grab a backup as the shade has changed!
As for Orgasm Edge, well, it’s not really a peachy pink as described by NARS but the application does surprise!
NARS has completely revamped the entire Powder Blush Collection and reformulated the blush! They also removed a bunch of a shades and added some new ones! The blush is $34 and 0.17 oz in size. It’s been a while but I believe the original blushes were $30 and 0.16 oz so the price hasn’t increased dramatically and the size didn’t go down thankfully.
If you’re wondering why NARS decided to reformulated and why they removed talc I can’t be exactly sure. I do know in recent years a few brands of makeup have tested positive for asbestos as talc can be contaminated with it. In NARS case, I’m not sure if they are just taking extra precaution...
