Physicians Formula Rosy Pink Butter Blush Review & Swatches
Rosy Pink
Physicians Formula Rosy Pink Butter Blush ($12.99 for 0.26 oz.) is a medium pink with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. There was just a hint of sheen to the finish when buffed and blended out on the skin but no distinctive shimmer particles. The texture was smooth to the touch but more firmly pressed in the pan, so it took a heavier hand or denser brush to pickup product well. It had semi-sheer, buildable coverage (up to semi-opaque) in a single layer. The powder blended out easily on the skin and lasted for eight hours on me.

Formula Overview
$12.99/0.26 oz. - $49.96 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "ultra-luxurious" and will "smooth skin texture, brighten skin tone, and deliver a gorgeous blushing glow." They are soft, smooth, and blendable with a silky texture that is easy to work with, though sometimes a denser brush is best to apply as the consistency is denser overall. The coverage is typically medium with some buildability, but the shades skew particularly light so they will be more suitable for lighter skin tones (and may not show up as well on me in reviews due to my coloring). The wear has been around eight hours on average for the formula. It has a heavy coconut-based scent that lingers and is noticeable on the face, not just in the pan.

I know this is a strange reaction, but the crinkly-surface molding of the product in the package makes these not appeal to me. Does anyone else have weird reactions like that to other things?
Donāt find it odd at all, though itās far more common with mouthfeel. People complain about mouth textures in foods all the time. Iām sure itās hard wired. Donāt get it, if the the ripple turns you off. Thatās part of why we have Christine for dupes. Donāt go all sensory disorder over this! This texture bothers plenty of people.
Wow! This looks great on you! I really like their blush shades however, I just can’t get past the scent. It’s a bit too much for my nose š
It works on you. It would work on my daughter. But I do not see this working (or barely showing up on my face) for me. UD X-Rated does, though! Looks like a light pink flush on me.
I like the Butter Blushes. This looks like a really pretty pink. I’ll have to put it on my “to get” list.
It looks beautiful on you. Such a pretty blush.
When I first saw the photo I thought this might be a dupe for the Dior Rosy Glow Healthy Glow Awakening Blush. (I know it is a favorite of some on this site.) I tried the Compare Any Two feature but could not find the Dior shade.
So, for anyone that has the Dior shade, what do you think, is this Physicians Formula shade close?
Thanks!
It really looks pretty on you! I have one pink from P.F. the onexwith little hearts and I do like their Formula very soft and natural. Iād like to find this one and try.
