How it's used

Describes a healthy, vibrant complexion that suggests good fortune or vitality. It is often used as a compliment to someone who looks energetic or has recently experienced positive life events. Unlike simply saying someone looks healthy, this phrase carries a slightly formal or literary undertone despite being used in daily conversation.

Common phrases

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe someone who is simply blushing or flushed from heat, as the phrase specifically implies a healthy, auspicious, or prosperous glow rather than a temporary physical reaction.
