Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Nars Orgasm Liquid Highlighter.
This liquid highlighter is part of this years’ NARS Orgasm Collection and it can be used mixed in with foundation or on its own.
This is the second year Nars comes out with a collection dedicated to the Orgasm shade, last year I got the Nars Afterglow Lip Balm which I can’t wait to use again this year.
You can get it from narscosmetics.com for 30$.
COLOUR
The shade Orgasm is pretty iconic for Nars, in case you are not familiar with it, it’s a peachy pink with a gold reflex that looks good on almost all skin tones.
PACKAGING
The packaging is rose gold perfection, everything from the box to the bottle is metallic rose gold, it is very heavy and very sturdy, I love it.
To open it you just twist the cap and the top pops up so you can use the pipette.
The bottle contains only 15ml of product and for that price is not worth it.
APPLICATION
The dropper is cute but maybe mine is slightly defective because it’s hard to click and I always end up squirting too much on my hand.
You can apply it with your fingers, or a brush or a sponge.
FORMULA
This product is terrible. The formula is incredibly oily and sheer, it’s not shiny at all. I’ve tried to apply it in many different ways and only one works.
- Mixed with foundation: from the photo you can see that since is so oily it doesn’t mix well with foundation, I’ve tried multiple ones and this is the result I always get.
- As highlighter: Same as the first method, once you put it on top of foundation it dissolves it creating a bald patch of skin, as you can see in the photo.
- Alone: sadly this method doesn’t work either because it’s not shiny enough to be noticeable. As you can see once is blended is completely sheer.
- Mixed with moisturizer: this is the only method that works for me and I really like the soft glow it gives to the skin once is blended out.
LASTING POWER
Since as soon as I put it on it ruined my make up, I couldn’t keep it on to test the lasting power.
RATINGS:
- Colour: 7/10
- Longevity: 3/10
- Application: 5/10
- Formula: 2/10
- Pigmentation: 5/10
- Packaging: 6/10
GRADE: D-
This liquid highlighter is terrible, the packaging is tricky to use and too tiny. The formula is bad and you can’t use it because it ruins the make up. I like it mixed with my face cream but the price is too high to use it only for that. Complete pass.

Thanks for the info! Which liquid highlighter do you recommend instead?
I like benefit ones!
Wow, great review! That highlighter looks really caky on, I would have give it a D too, if I were you!
Yeah I’d doesn’t look good right? Thank you for reading x
Oh, I was hoping this would be awesome! Definitely too expensive to mix, I agree. I usually like their products so that’s a shame <3
They are my favourite brand so I was quite upset ?
Thank you for your review of this product, I’ve been on the market for some highlighter and would hate to get one that doesn’t work well.
Yeah skip this one ?
Awww bummer I usually love NARS product, but I appreciate your honesty. That highlighter is too expensive not to be one of the best to buy on the market. I usually love highlighter, but based on your review, I won’t be looking into this one.
I’m glad it was helpful x
Loved the Orgasm blush but I guess I will have to pass on this one! Thanks for the honest review, you saved me from a regretful purchase haha!
You are welcome, yeah it’s totally not worth it x
I haven’t tried their products but I will be sure to stay clear now. Do you know any products from them that are good?
They are my favourite brand, so yeah, their blushes are amazing, the Laguna bronzer is incredible, the sheer glow foundation and I also love their lipglosses
Wow this sounds awful! Maybe you got a defective product? Oily highlighter sounds like a nightmare!
I’ve looked around and it seams to be the actual formula! Did you see how much it broke my make up. I literally panicked for a second the first time I’ve tried it
Yea, that’s shocking to be honest!
oh yes! Nars orgazm is fantastic! I absolutely love the brand. it sounds absolutely ideal to me. Nice post too dear!
Wow I love the formula and how shiny it is!! I would’ve bought it but I’m glad you shared your review!
I’m glad it was helpful x
i don’t use NARS, but this is kinda surprising! it looks pretty in the package, what a shame that it has so many negatives. as ALWAYS, i appreciate the honest review ?
So disappointing ?
Oh thanks for the honest review, maybe I should try other brands. Which one do you recommend..? ?
Definitely the Fenty ones or the Benefit ones 🙂
I honestly don’t know how I feel about a liquid highlighter. I tend to stick to my powders and this is even more reason to do so.
I wanted to try it for summer I’ll stick to powder too x
I totally thought this was nail polish and honestly I was like , “Wow that is a really great color”. The peachy pink with a gold reflex looked great for nail polish LOL. I am so sorry you did not like the highlighter. I am grateful we get to learn from experience. Awesome. D-. Got it. Stay away.
Ahahah D- might be run away haahha
LOL. Will do, gracias.
So sad this didn’t work out! I feel like I could get quickly obsessed with liquid highlighter!
Yeah same, especially now that it’s summer x
Yeah I agree with you. I think the compact powder blush one is better. It is too sheer and not good on the skin if the skin itself is not perfect.
The blush one is so much better, this one has such a weird formula!
