Hi everybody—I'm Cass, and that right there is Oadie. In this video we’re putting some color on these cheeks with the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Dewy Liquid Blush in the shade Encourage (a soft neutral pink). I got this as one of my choices in my Ipsy Extra for October 2025, and I was so excited because I’ve been trying their lip oils and I knew I had to try the blush sooner or later… and boom, it showed up. It retails for $25, which is kind of pricey, but it feels in line with Rare Beauty. I swatch it, then I try it on using only my fingers—no brush, no sponge—because I wanted to see how “mistake-proof” it really is. Let me tell you: they are not kidding about the pigment. They say “one dot,” and one dot is powerful (Oadie had jokes about me looking like I got slapped in the face). Once I blended it out, I actually really liked the finish, and I even prefer it over powder blush because it looks more skin-like. My biggest takeaway: a little goes a LONG way, so be careful, but if you love blush, Encourage is absolutely up your alley.
