Surratt Beauty La Vie En Rose Artistique Blush ($32.00 for 0.20 oz.) is described as a “soft rose.” It’s a medium, pink-plum with warm undertones and a satin finish. MAC Animal Instincts (LE, $21.00) is darker, cooler-toned. Hourglass Mood Exposure (P, $35.00) is warmer. Urban Decay Fetish (LE) is darker. NARS G-Spot (P, $39.00) is darker, more shimmery, cream. Illamasqua Allure (P, $26.00) is much warmer. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

This is the kind of shade that is easy to wear on light to medium skin tones but may get lost on deeper complexions. It isn’t too warm or reddish, and it has a subdued quality to it, so it is easily worn as a sheer layer of color or applied with more true-to-pan color. It had a soft, silky texture that felt almost like a cream blush, though it was definitely a powder product. La Vie En Rose seemed less pigmented than other shades I’ve tested in the Surratt range, though it had decent, buildable color coverage. It has a satin-matte finish that gets more luminous as it is buffed and worked into the skin, but it never looks shimmery or frosted, so it doesn’t emphasize pores or skin imperfections. The color wore well for eight and a half hours before it started to fade along the edges.

Of all the Surratt blushers you’ve shown us, this is by far the loveliest with your complexion. It’s a believable flush of soft, warm color that takes your natural beauty to a whole new level. Lovely!

This is the one I got. I love it and would like to get a few more. I’m looking forward to your eye shadow reviews. I won’t give my opinion yet. Lol

Plummy neutrals like this have recently caught on with me in a big way. I’ve had HG Mood Exposure on my hit list forever, but took it off my wishlist when I picked up BECCA beach tint shimmer in Raspberry Opal which pulls plummy on me and looks similar to Mood Exposure. I’m thinking THIS might be the one I pick up from Surratt: a powder version with less shimmer. So happy to find one in this formula that isn’t covered ‘to the nines’ in my stash.

Me too! I don’t think there are many blushes that have just made me go “Ooooh” like that, you know? They look so pretty and naturally radiant.
