Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Dewy Liquid Blush (Grateful) - 7.5mL

• The “Soft Pinch Liquid Blush” line from Rare Beauty is described as:

  “A weightless liquid blush that delivers high-impact colour with just one dot, blending seamlessly for a pinch-perfect flush that lasts up to 12 hours.” 

• Specifically, the shade Grateful is listed as a true red (dewy finish) in this collection. 

• The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and infused with a botanical blend of lotus, gardenia & white water lily to soothe and nourish skin. 

• Suitable for layering over liquid, cream or powder foundations without disturbing them. 

 Key Benefits

• Vibrant flush: The true red tone of Grateful gives a bold, sophisticated blush — good for visuals where you want noticeable cheek colour rather than subtle flush.

• Dewy finish: Because it's the “Dewy” version, it gives a radiant, almost lit-from-within look, which on camera/model imagery can translate to skin with life and dimension (rather than flat matte).

• Highly pigmented & efficient: The formula claims that “just one dot” gives high impact—makes it efficient for model kits, multiple uses, and quick on-set application. 

• Universal layering: Works over different base formulas (liquid, powder, cream) and for all skin types. Good when working with varied models/skin tones. 

• Brand-fit for your visual work: Since you’re focused on premium beauty-lifestyle visuals, multi-skin-tone model imagery and high-quality product shots, this blush aligns with that aesthetic (versatile, high-finish, impactful).

 How to Use

Here’s how you might apply it, tailored to your workflow (model shoots / brand imagery / product photography):

1. Prep skin: Ensure foundation/concealer is applied and skin is smooth (especially around cheeks) so that the blush blends seamlessly.

2. Apply: Use the doe-foot applicator and place a small amount (1-2 dots) of Grateful on each cheek—on the apples or where you want the flush. The brand suggests exactly this: “Use the doe-foot applicator and place 1–2 dots on each cheek.” 

3. Blend: Use your fingertips, a dense blush brush or a sponge to gently pat and diffuse the colour outward/upward so it looks natural on skin. Because the shade is bold red, blending is key to avoid harsh edges.

4. Build if needed: For stronger looks (e.g., editorial/model imagery) you can build another layer—but less is often more especially when photography is high-res.

5. Check under lighting: Since your visuals likely involve studio/flash + daylight + mobile capture, test how the red tone reads under your actual lighting setup to ensure it appears as intended (not too intense or patchy).

6. Touch-ups / kit use: For on-the-go or multiple looks per day, carry this blush in your kit. Because the formula is pigmented, a little goes a long way.

7. Optional lip use: Some users also use richly pigmented liquid blushes like this as a lip tint in model looks or quick tweaks (especially true for bold red tone) — could be a useful multipurpose trick in your kit.
