Physicians Formula Natural Happy Booster ($11.99 for 0.24 oz.) is a light-medium pink with strong, warm undertones–it’s not quite coral, but it’s warm enough that it starts to approach that territory. It had a soft, luminous finish that’s glow-y without being frosty. NARS Realm of the Senses #1 is darker, less shimmery. Physicians Formula Warm is actually very similar to this; it is just slightly warmer. Tom Ford Frantic Pink is lighter. Chanel Fleur de Lotus is less pink, more coral. See comparison swatches.

The texture is fairly soft, finely-milled, and applies evenly and smoothly over the skin. It’s a product that blends out beautifully and easily without any trouble–it also gets more and more glow-y as the powder is blended with the skin. There is a very small amount of sparkle in the product, so because there is not much of it, I did not see a lot of translate onto skin, which meant they did not have a chance to emphasize pores or imperfections in the skin’s texture. The formula is designed to give more of a softer iridescence with some color, which is exactly what it does; boosts the natural cheek color while adding a luminous sheen.  My only concern would be for those with deeper complexions, as it may not show up well. Natural wore well for eight full hours, and after nine hours, I started to see some signs of fading. The powder is violet-scented, but I didn’t notice the scent once applied.

My cousin gave me one of these to keep at work as a backup. I have a medium-tan skintone (leaning more tan/olive) and this actually shows up pretty well on me! I don’t imagine anyone darker than me will have too much trouble with it showing 🙂

Pretty. Before I was really into makeup, I had three blushes. A Physician’s Formula one and 2 Cover Girl ones. I remember the PF one being my favorite and hitting pan on it. I think it was called Blushing Natural. It didn’t have the heart like this one, but I think the color wasn’t too different.

I bought this when it first came out and love it, as well as the other shades it comes in. Also love the fact that the design isn’t just overspray.
