Megan Skiendiel is a member of the girl group KATSEYE, and on November 5, 2026 she became the face of a limited-edition eyewear collection from Rare Beauty and Warby Parker. The five frames are colored after shades of Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush. This guide to Megan, Rare Beauty and Warby Parker covers which frame matches which shade, where each item is sold, and the closest blush shades and drugstore alternatives you can shop.
Two things to know up front. Megan is the paid campaign face for this commercial partnership, so the campaign is advertising, not an independent review. And Soft Pinch belongs to Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty, where Gomez is the brand founder, so she is not a neutral reviewer of these frames either. None of those brands or people paid for or endorse this article, though Opeau may earn a commission from Amazon links. Opeau has no paid partnership with Megan, KATSEYE, Rare Beauty, Selena Gomez or Warby Parker. Everything below is researched from press coverage and brand pages, not from hands-on use.
Quick answer
- The glasses are sold at Warby Parker only (website, app and stores), from $95 up to $145.
- Frame-to-shade map: Franny = Resilience, Elwell = Encourage, Millie = Worth, Gillian = Hope, Albie = Faith.
- Soft Pinch Liquid Blush is sold at rarebeauty.com, Sephora and Ulta; some shades are also on Amazon, often from third-party sellers.
- Closest Amazon options: Hope and Encourage pair with frames in similar tones (not exact color matches); Believe and Grace are nearby alternatives, not campaign shades.
- Cheaper stand-ins: Laura Geller and Milani powder blushes. Formulas differ from Soft Pinch.
What’s confirmed (and what isn’t)
Several outlets covered the launch on November 5. Here is what the reporting supports and what it does not.
| Claim | Status | Source (date) |
|---|---|---|
| Collection live at Warby Parker (site, app, stores) | Confirmed | Variety, Billboard (Nov 5, 2026) |
| Five frame names and Soft Pinch shade inspiration | Confirmed | Variety, Billboard, WWD, Hypebae (Nov 5, 2026) |
| Prices from $95 up to $145 | Confirmed | Hypebae; Variety says starting at $95; Hypebae/Warby list Albie at $145 (Nov 5, 2026) |
| Megan’s first solo campaign | Confirmed | Billboard, WWD (Nov 5, 2026) |
| Warby Parker donation to the Rare Impact Fund; Buy a Pair, Give a Pair continues | Confirmed | Variety, WWD (Nov 5, 2026) |
| Exact blush finish Megan wears in each campaign photo, or her everyday shade | Not confirmed | Not stated in any source we read |
| Amazon Soft Pinch sellers are Rare Beauty authorized | Not guaranteed; often third-party | Check seller, condition and expiry yourself |
WWD reports the collaboration was “nearly two years in the making,” per Rare Beauty’s Chrystina Woody Train. It also describes Megan, 20, as chosen for her “expressive, color-forward style,” which is the brands’ own statement.
The five Soft Pinch-inspired frames
Each frame takes its color from one Soft Pinch shade. Style notes below are paraphrased from the press; descriptions vary slightly between outlets, and the shade pairings are the same in all four. Each pair comes with a cream-colored case and a painterly lens cloth, according to Variety.
| Frame | Soft Pinch shade inspiration | Style notes from press | Where to buy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Franny | Resilience (warm chestnut) | Rounded cat-eye silhouette; Billboard lists it from $95 | Warby Parker site |
| Elwell | Encourage (soft neutral pink) | Vintage-inspired frame with neutral pink lenses; Billboard lists it from $95 | Warby Parker site |
| Millie | Worth (true rose) | Sculptural, rounded sunglasses in a rose-colored finish; Billboard lists $95 | Warby Parker site |
| Gillian | Hope (nude mauve) | Oversized optical frame with slim rims; Billboard lists $95 | Warby Parker site |
| Albie | Faith (deep berry) | Minimalist metal frame with deep berry lenses; Hypebae and Warby list it at $145 | Warby Parker site |
Browse them all on the Warby Parker Rare Beauty collection. The frames are not sold on Amazon, and we link no Amazon listings for them. Warby Parker has also made a donation to the Rare Impact Fund, which works on youth mental health resources, and continues its Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program.
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush: the color story
Variety calls Soft Pinch Liquid Blush a signature Rare Beauty product, “known for its highly pigmented formula and expansive range of shades.” Rare Beauty’s product page lists 16 shades in matte and dewy finishes and a list price of $25. Of the five shades behind the frames, Hope (nude mauve), Encourage (soft neutral pink), Worth (true rose) and Resilience (warm chestnut) are dewy, while Faith (deep berry) is matte. Resilience was listed as new on the brand page when we checked on November 5 and 6.
The brand says the blush lasts up to 12 hours and contains a botanical blend, and describes it as vegan and cruelty-free. Those are Rare Beauty’s claims; we have not tested wear time and can’t confirm them.
How to shop the blush shades
Billboard says the blush is sold at Rare Beauty’s website, Sephora and Ulta, online and in stores. That is the safest route for the full range. Our November 6 check found clean Amazon US pages for Hope, Encourage, Believe and Grace. Several Amazon sellers are third-party, so check who ships the item, its condition and the expiry date before ordering.
- Gillian shade (Hope): Hope is on Amazon. Believe, a true mauve, is a nearby bonus option but is not a campaign shade.
- Elwell shade (Encourage): Encourage is on Amazon.
- Millie shade (Worth): Amazon has Worth only as Soft Pinch Matte Bouncy Blush, a different format from the dewy Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Worth. Get the liquid at Rare Beauty, Sephora or Ulta if you want the one the frame is based on.
- Albie shade (Faith): Faith is a deep berry matte on the brand site. If you don’t find it on Amazon, shop it at Rare Beauty, Sephora or Ulta. Grace, a bright rose mauve matte, is a nearby Amazon option, not the same shade.
- Franny shade (Resilience): We found no clean Amazon liquid listing, so look at the brand, Sephora or Ulta.
Drugstore alternatives
If you want the pink-to-berry cheek look without the Rare Beauty price, a Laura Geller baked blush and a Milani powder blush are easy to find. Neither is a dupe: formulas, finishes and shade ranges differ from Soft Pinch, so check swatches before buying. Our Rare Beauty liquid blush dupes guide goes deeper on liquid formulas.
