Physician's Formula Powder Palette Multi-Colored Blush in Blushing Neutral
What They Say:
- A beautiful mosaic of complementary hues to contour and accentuate cheekbones with soft color and discreet shimmer.
- It’s the perfect combination of colors that blend together to naturally enhance your cheekbones.
- The finest Italian talc provides a silky-smooth application that blends easily without streaking or irritating sensitive skin.
Jamie’s Thoughts: As a redhead, my experiences with blush have not always been pleasant – or should I say, pleasant to look at. Some blushes don’t do enough, while others are more visible than stage makeup. I was very happy to test out and review this particular product, knowing that Physicians Formula has an excellent reputation for expertly constructing pre-blended palettes.
This blush is fantastic – it isn’t overloaded with shimmering agents, it isn’t heavy (meaning that it looks natural and doesn’t settle into my medium-sized pores), and one can easily get a more dramatic effect with multiple applications. It has a warm glow to it, but nothing sparkly or super shiny, making it appropriate for all ages and skintones. It does fade a bit on those colder, winter days when I’m repeatedly wearing and removing my big scarf – but overall, the staying power is above average. It’s a foolproof blush, folks.
I also wanted to mention the packaging, and its ingenious twist on a traditional compact. The brush fits inside a vented storage chamber at the very bottom, the underside of the actual compact is a mirror, and it all snaps together in a petite, purse-friendly pod. While the brush provided is no match for my big, girly blush brush, it does the job and you can’t beat the convenience of having it housed inside the compact. Perfect for traveling, or for keeping inside your desk at work – all in all, I highly recommend it.
Price: $10.49 (Drugstore.com or pharmacy retailers nationwide)
