Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush - Bliss
by Rare Beauty · makeup
Editor's Take
Rare Beauty earns its reputation here: Trimethylsiloxysilicate locks down the color and Silica Silylate softens the finish, but the persistent silicone base leaves an environmental bill.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 8.8 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 8.5 / 10
- Clean Standards: 7.3 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 3.7 / 10
The Verdict
Dimethicone and Methyl Trimethicone spread easily and set quickly, while Trimethylsiloxysilicate gives the pigment serious staying power. Silica Silylate and the elastomer keep the finish blurred rather than waxy or heavy. The catch is environmental: persistent silicones and petroleum-derived microcrystalline wax make this a poor sustainability choice, even though its broader ingredient profile is respectable. For long-wear blush performance, it sits near the front of the shelf.
