Why the original costs what it does

Soft Pinch is genuinely good — a tiny dot of intensely-pigmented liquid blendable into a natural flush — and the viral hype keeps it at $23. The catch redditors flag is that the formula and effect are closely matched by a drugstore liquid blush at a third of the price.

FAQ

Is e.l.f. Camo Liquid Blush a real Rare Beauty dupe?
Redditors who own both put them side-by-side constantly — same high-pigment, long-wear liquid formula and one-tiny-dot application, for about $8 vs $23. The only difference flagged is a subtle shimmer in some e.l.f. shades versus Rare Beauty's more matte finish.
How do I apply liquid blush without overdoing it?
Both are very pigmented — use a single small dot, dab onto the cheek, and blend fast with fingers or a damp sponge. It's easier to build up than to tone down.
