I compared it with some of my blushes. Happy Girls Are Pretty is the sheerest and lightest of them all. It’s like a dirty rose shade. Catrice Illuminating Blush in 010 I Am Nuts About You is brownish dirty mauve. It's the darkest of these shades and has the same matte, but sheer finish as the Essence. Maybelline Colorama blush in 101 is peach based pink with gold shimmer. It's as sheer as Essence, but the peachiest of them all. Artdeco Mineral Blusher in 24 Pink is the most classic pink with cool sheen to it. It's the shiniest of them all.
