Good for a dewy look

I got this and the nars highlighting powder in albatross, and I have to say it's a close fight over which is better, but the powder wins by a hair. This is more dewy looking (making it a must for those with dry skin and those who like the dewy look, and since I have oily skin, it's difficult but not unworkable) and better for a no makeup makeup look, but being a liquid, it is slightly harder to work with and easy to overdo. Once you get past the learning curve, though, it's absolutely lovely.

Great on my cheekbones!

Love this as a highlighter. As the other girls have said, a little bit definitely goes a long way! I I have this in Orgasm but am thinking about adding Laguna to my collection. Can't wait to try this out over the summer :)

Awesome! I love this illuminator! It last so long because you only need the smallest amount of product to get a prefect healthy glow! I have dry skin so I put it on the tops on my cheek bones and a little down my Cupid's bow and it gives me a nice dewy finish! If you have very oily skin it may not be a great product because it will only add on to any shine, although if you have a matte-ifying powder to put on before I think that this product would work wonders! Nars always has a wide range of shades to fit everyone so you can certainly find one that will fit your skin tone! It's my favorite highlighter, I like it much better than high beam or sun beam by benefit because it also gives you a nice tint of color ! If your on the hunt for a GREAT highlighter and are willing to spend a little extra money in a high end one I would HIGHLY recommend this!

stunning

I absolutely love this product. I apply it as a blush because I'm Hispanic with skin on the darker side and it gives me a really cute glow. It looks great all year around. Also looks really good in pictures. I like this better than the powder because my cheeks lack moisture and this product makes me look dewy.

Summer Glowing Skin!

I love this! I've just recently ventured into highlighting my face, and I got a sample of the NARS Illuminator. This works great! It gives the perfect glow to the skin without looking at all shimmery. By the end of the day I don't notice any shimmer particles traveling in areas it isn't supposed to. It really sinks into my skin. This shade works great with my fair skin too. I thought it was too pink, but it blending into no color pigmentation, just shine. I'll be using this all summer.

AMAZING SHINE

I put this on my high points before i put my foundation on, and it's AMAZING! Gives me the perfect dewy-looking finish and doesn't make your skin look completely oily. Only complaint I have is that about 4-5 hours after wearing this my skin doesn't have the same effect it did right after I put it on. But overall, I will be re-purchasing this!

Iconic

I'm obsessed with trying new beauty products whenever I get the chance, and I usually discover a new 'favorite' every single month. So when I find a product I love so much I can't fathom replacing it, I know it's a good one. NARS Orgasm Illuminator is hands-down the best luminizing gel I've ever found. The universally-flattering shade instantly brightens your complexion while smoothing the look of imperfections. It glides on easily (no streaking) and wears true for hours, and best of all, looks entirely believable. Many brands try to recreate the iconic Orgasm formula, but in my mind, none have come close to rivaling NARS' amazing creation. A must-wear product.

I bought this product out of curiosity and really did not expect it to be amazing. Well, I was wrong. I have used it daily ever since. Copacabana is sheer perfection. It is perfect for giving just a little bit of light to the face and it does an amazing job of keeping me looking awake rather than zombie-like. I mix it in with my foundation or use a stippling brush to apply a little to my cheek bones or all over my face. After applying, people have commented on the healthy glow and rested look it... x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Great Illuminator!

I love this product as a all-over face illuminator, but not so much as a highlighter. It gives me a bronzy glow that I can't get from my powder bronzers. You won't regret making this purchase! It stays on great with or without a primer under it!
