To begin with, Rare Beauty is the new makeup brand from Selena Gomez. Since the brand launched, in September, more and more, products have been released. As a result, the brand continues to grow. And, Rare Beauty is growing into a complete line of unique makeup essentials. Recently, Rare Beauty released the Stay Vulnerable Melting Blush. In fact, cream blush is becoming more popular by the minute. For example, Nars recently released a unique, creamy Air Matte Blush. Even more, the new Rare Beauty Melting Blush had me at “Melting!” Also, the blush looked really cool in the photos I saw online. Finally, I didn’t need a lot of persuasion to purchase this blush. The reason is, blush is my favorite makeup!
You can find the Stay Vulnerable Melting Blush at Sephora and on the Rare Beauty Website. Also, the Stay Vulnerable Melting Blush Creme (0.17 oz/ 5g) costs $21.
The Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Melting Blush Packaging
First, the Rare Beauty Blush compact fits in the palm of your hand. Also, the shiny, pinky-mauve case looks very retro. 
Rare Beauty is written in gold, on the lid of the compact. To open the compact, just pull the lid up. However, the compact has a magnetic closure.
Therefore, to close, start to push down on the lid. Then, the magnet grabs the lid, and clicks it closed.
Inside, underneath the lid, a small mirror is framed with gold . On the other side, melting cream blush is also framed in gold. Although the gold frames look beautiful, they have a purpose. And, the purpose is the gold rims are the magnetic closure for the palette.
The center of the man dips down, so that the blush looks like it is popping out of the pan. Also, the palette is made with the dip where the blush is, so that the blush doesn’t interfere with the magnetic closure! Very clever!
The Formula For the Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Melting Blush
NEARLY BERRY INGREDIENTS
Let’s start with the fact that the melting cream blush formula is the first-of-its-kind. First, the water-resistant formula combines pigments with a non-greasy blend of weightless oils and spherical powders for a natural flush. Above all, the blush formula is mistake-proof. In other words, you can’t mess up.
NEARLY MAUVE INGREDIENTS
The reason is, the ultra-lightweight, liquid-like cream melts when it makes contact with your skin. Then, it blends to a smooth, satin finish. Best of all, the blush doesn’t cake, crease, or clog pores.
The Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Melting Blush Shades
First, the Melting Blush comes in five shades. I purchased two shades. The three shades I didn’t purchase are Nearly Neutral, a soft, neutral pink shade, and Nearly Rose, a true pink shade. The shades I purchased are: Nearly Berry and Nearly Mauve.

My Final Thoughts on The Selena Gomez Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Melting Blush…..
First things first, the Melting Blush is easy to apply with your fingers. However, if you prefer using a brush, choose one with dense, stiff bristles. Also, the brush should be synthetic. Even more, if you want a natural flush of color, you only need one layer of blush. Although, if you want more color payoff, then all you need to do is continue layering the blush. At first, the blush feels emollient, and it glides easily onto the skin. Once it hits your face, the blush melts into your skin.
ON THE LEFT SWATCH NEARLY MAUVE, ON THE RIGHT SWATCH NEARLY BERRY
Finally, if you are a beginner, this mistake-proof blush is perfect for you. Also, if you are a pro, you will love the lightweight, barely there feel, weightless finish and great color payoff of this blush.
