7 Great Dupes For Selena Gomez's Rare Beauty Liquid Blush
Many fans of Selena Gomez's makeup looks enjoy products from Rare Beauty, the pop star's beauty brand. One beloved product from Rare Beauty is the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush. The light yet reliable blush is available in various hues, and shoppers can choose between matte and dewy options.
The product has a nearly five-star perfect rating with over 3,000 reviews, with pleased customers writing praises, including, "A little goes a long way. The product isn't sticky nor is it runny.
