How shimmery is "Orgasm" blush?

Thread Starter 
I used to use MAC blush in Style, which is a Frost formulation. I really like the color, but noticed that the frosty/shimmery-ness of it tends to accentuate my acne scarring, as I hear is quite common. I really want to get Orgasm, but I'm worried I might have the same problem.

Any input on this? If it is highly shimmery, any thoughts about Amour, which is also listed as "peachy pink," but without shimmer?

Re: How shimmery is "Orgasm" blush?

when i first read this, I was like, "orgasm isn't shimmery" so I went and looked at it, and I guess in the pan it is a little shimmery,but when I wear it I don't notice it. so, I piled it on the back of my hand and held it under all my different lights, the sparkles did transfer to my skin but I really had to pack it on there....and I definitely don't see it settling in lines or scars, etc....it is far less shimmery than a frost formulation.....
it is one of my favorite blushes, I always buy it in the duo with laguna bronzer..it's one of those things I buy over and over.....=)

Many of the NARS blushes that look shimmery in the compact look natural on the skin if you spank the brush before buffing it on your cheeks . I think Amour is a fresher, prettier and more natural colour on most people. Orgasm is very pale and if you are not very pale, its just a highlighter on many people. Amour has a nice flush to it.

Orgasm doesn't look overly shimmery on my skin. I would compare it to the Sheertone Shimmer blushes by MAC. It's enough to give you a glow without looking too sparkly. I heard Super Orgasm was a lot more shimmery.

Super Orgasm is more shimmery but the shimmers fall off the brush, it has more pigmentation.

I fully understand your meaning of magnifying your acne scars and pores as I do have the same problem with most MAC glittery blush. But I'm fine with Orgasm as the shimmer is very subtle and the glitters are not chunky at all.

I'm wearing Orgasm right now and even though it looks shimmery and sparkly on the pan, it just gives a beautiful colour to my cheeks without any obvious shimmery.
It's really gorgeous, at least on my pale skin so I would totally recommend it
Amour is next on my list...

I LOVE amour.

It has the perfect peachy, bronzy color that gives me a little "sunkissed" look. I absolutely love Amour!

Nars Orgasm blush definitely looks shimmery in the pan but I just use a Mac 187 to stipple a little on the apples of my cheeks then lightly buff it in and it comes out a very light and natural flush. I don't notice any glitter at all. When I first bought it I layered it on way to dark and hated it so I stopped using it for a while. I recently took it out of the drawer and tried again with a lighter hand. Now I love it and use it almost every day.

I'm ok with everything said above Plus, I also have tiny acne scars and they don't seem to be affected by Orgasm's glitter...
