Rare Beauty Debuts Soft Pinch Formula for Sculpting

Rare Beauty expands its Soft Pinch franchise with a new liquid contour launching at Sephora this January, translating its successful blush formula into a sculpting product. The vegan and cruelty-free contour arrives in seven carefully curated shades, ranging from Gentle (cool taupe) for fair skin tones to Sublime (cool brown) for deeper complexions. Building on the brand's commitment to inclusive beauty, each shade retails for $39.00 CAD and features the same weightless, buildable texture that made its liquid blush a bestseller.

The formula addresses common contouring challenges with a unique liquid texture that creates natural-looking dimension without appearing muddy or patchy. Its versatile application allows for seamless blending whether applied under or over other complexion products, while the pigment-rich formula requires minimal product for maximum impact.
