Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush - Bliss
by Rare Beauty · makeup
Editor's Take
Bliss earns its cult status on wear and blendability, but the silicone-heavy base is the opposite of clean standards, however soft the finish looks.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 8.5 / 10
- Modern Tech: 8.0 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 2.8 / 10
- Sustainability: 5.9 / 10
The Verdict
With an efficacy score of 8.5, this sits in the Strong band for Efficacy, and Trimethylsiloxysilicate gives the pigment convincing longwear. Technology lands in the Highly Advanced band, with Methyl Trimethicone setting quickly and Silica Silylate helping blur and suspend color evenly. Clean is firmly in the Poor band, while sustainability falls into the Lower Sustainability Fit band because the persistent silicone base and microcrystalline wax carry real environmental trade-offs. A strong pick for quick-setting, all-day blush, not a clean-formula showcase.
