I’m in Bedford, New York with a frosty little glass of white wine moment, and we’re doing what I love most: a trying-new-makeup video with a bunch of fresh launches. If you’re new here, hi—I’m Cate, and I’m an exclusively pro-choice creator, which means I only feature brands that support abortion rights. In this video I’m testing new makeup from Versed (they officially launched makeup!), Rare Beauty’s new blush formula, and the brand new Sarah Creal cream bronzer—plus I share a few tried-and-true staples I always end up reaching for. For base, I skip the Jones Road Just Enough Tinted Moisturizer because my shade (Fair Ivory) pulls too warm and too deep on my light, cool/pink skin right now. Instead, I try the Versed Multi-Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 in 2N and I’m genuinely impressed—it’s stretchy, light coverage, but still gives me that “in-between a skin tint and a foundation” vibe I always want. Then I go in with Tower 28 concealer (DTLA is my perfect match), test the Sarah Creal bronzer in shade 01 (spoiler: not as cool-toned as people think), and finish with my mascara MVP. The standout? Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Matte Bouncy Blush in Hope. It blends with barely any effort, sets down like a powder, and gives that blurred, airbrushed cheek without looking dry. I finish with Rhode Lip Shape in Lift and my current obsession: The Outset Lip Oasis in Dune—my “your lips but better” glossy lip mask that I’ve been wearing nonstop.
