Soft Pinch Liquid Blush: Natural looking makeup or pinched cheeks?

If you’ve scrolled through Instagram or TikTok, I’m sure you’ve come across the forever viral, always sold out Rare Beauty Blush. Soft Pinch Liquid Blush quickly became a cult favorite because of its pigmented formula and long lasting wear. I will say, while the formula and colors are absolutely stunning, it isn’t the most user-friendly. Let me explain.

Promises vs. Performance: Weightless, airbrushed pigment.

Rare Beauty Blush is said to have a “soft, healthy flush” with all day wear. Because the weightless formula is so pigmented, a little goes a long way – and Rare Beauty describes it as “mistake-proof.” Containing a unique botanical blend of lotus, gardenia, and white water lily, this blush soothes and nourishes skin and is suitable for all skin types. It also blends beautifully over any other makeup, powder or liquid without disturbing the base layer for an all day wear. My favorite part? This blush comes in both dewy and matte finishes. 

Both a pro and a con, Rare Beauty Blush is extremely pigmented. One tiny dot (and trust me, one dot is plenty with this über pigmented formula!) on each side of my face is the perfect amount of color for all day vivid cheeks. Soft Pinch Blush has a near flawless 8+ hour wear time with minimal settling, fading, or accentuating skin texture.

You definitely have to blend immediately after applying, working one cheek at a time. I find that this liquid blush is versatile in application, blending beautifully with the fingers, a brush, or a sponge. Just make sure to blend ASAP and not let it sit for best results!

How It Compares: Is this the best liquid blush?

I must say, the Rare Beauty Blush is a beautiful formula, and I definitely recommend it. I wouldn’t call this blush “mistake-proof” as Rare Beauty does because the set time is so fast, but it is fairly easy to use and blends easily into the skin. Just make sure you blend immediately after applying and work one cheek at a time! It gives cheeks a soft, airbrushed glow with healthy color.
