Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush

Soft Pinch Liquid Blush from Rare Beauty became famous for one thing: how little you need. Most people say a single dot per cheek is enough.

Why so little

The formula is highly pigmented. That is good value, because a bottle lasts a long time, but it also means it is easy to use too much.

How to apply it

• One dot on the back of your hand, not on your face.
• Pick up a little with a finger, sponge or brush.
• Tap onto the cheek and blend upward at once.
• Add more only if you need it.

Starting on your hand gives you control. Dotting straight onto the cheek often leaves too much colour in one place.

Blend before it sets

Liquid blushes start to set quickly. Blend each cheek before moving to the next.

Over foundation

Liquid blush blends best over liquid or cream foundation, before powder. Over a lot of powder it can grab and look patchy.

Shades

There are dewy and matte versions, and each shade has its own Amazon listing. Check the finish and shade on the page.

Who it suits

Anyone who wants a natural flush that lasts, people with dry skin, and anyone who likes a product that goes a long way.

What it will not do

It will not forgive heavy hands. It will not be easy to blend over thick powder. And it will not suit people who prefer to build colour slowly with a brush.

The one people are searching for is the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush.
