Selena Gomez's makeup brand and the eyewear favorite just dropped five limited-edition frames, each inspired by a Soft Pinch Liquid Blush shade. Frames run $95 to $145.
Somebody finally asked what a liquid blush would look like if you could wear it on your face all day without smudging, and the answer is a pair of glasses. Warby Parker x Rare Beauty is a limited-edition, five-piece eyewear collection from the frame brand and Selena Gomez’s makeup line, and every style takes its cue from a shade of Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush.
The collab, in plain terms
Five frames, five blush shades, one-to-one. That’s the whole elegant idea. Instead of a generic “pink collection,” each pair is tied to a specific color from the Soft Pinch lineup, so if you already have a favorite shade in your makeup bag, you can go looking for its matching glasses.
The campaign stars Megan Skiendiel of Katseye, pictured in the Gillian frames, which are inspired by the shade Hope. Warby Parker also made a donation in support of the Rare Impact Fund, which gives the launch a charitable thread alongside the pretty one.
Who it’s for, and how to shop
This is for the person whose beauty routine and accessory drawer are basically the same conversation: Rare Beauty loyalists, Soft Pinch devotees, and anyone who thinks a frame should coordinate with a flushed cheek. It also suits people who like their collabs wearable on a Tuesday rather than saved for a shelf.
Frames cost $95 to $145 each and are sold at warbyparker.com. The collection is limited edition, so if one shade has your name on it, don’t schedule your decision for next month.
The rest of the week’s drops
The pairing appears in Fashionista’s Weekly Drop Watch for the week of Nov. 6, and the neighbors are worth a look. On the fashion side, Anine Bing and Tecovas teamed up on a collection described as “born from the spirit of the American West set against the streets of Paris.” It includes The Loretta, a boot with a 17-inch shaft and snip toe, and The Jamie, a round-toe classic with an 11-inch shaft, plus two cowboy hats and two belts. Prices run $180 to $525.
Christopher John Rogers brought his eye for pattern and color to The Rug Company with 10 designs priced from $2,050 to $5,750. Frame introduced a 13-piece Equestrian Collection of tailored jackets, denim shirting, suede pants and horse-adorned knits, from $298 to $2,498. Hart worked with influencer Julia Berolzheimer on an eight-piece jewelry collection of charms, talismans and gemstone accents, $55 to $375, and Jenny Bird’s New Estate collection is pitched as “your nonna’s rhinestones, modernized by JB.”
Over in beauty, Ouai and Heaven Mayhem made a fragrance-and-jewelry hybrid: vase-shaped Amulet Necklaces that hold perfume. The Rue St-Honoré version leans gardenia, violet, ylang ylang and white musk. The Ibiza version goes for cocoa, tonka bean, vanilla and rum, and comes with a black tassel. They’re $125 each.
Willy Chavarria partnered with Mexico City fragrance house Xinú on a black-vessel version of the FlordeMusgo candle, finished with a custom medallion and presented in a black-on-black wool cocoon, for $120. Soft Services followed its Theraplush overnight hand treatment with Deskside ($58), a daytime hand hydrator in a refillable vessel, in a Lumelo scent or fragrance-free.
Hair got its moment too. T3’s CeraBounce ($130) is a heated round brush with a 1½-inch barrel. Nancy Twine’s Soulstice added The Wet Comb ($24), The Dry Comb ($26) and The Styling Pin ($18). Phlur’s Cashmere Frost hair and body mist, built around iced bergamot, almond and cashmere woods, costs $39 for 8 oz or $26 for 3 oz. And Dibs Beauty paired a burgundy check Duo Brush Face with MacKenzie-Childs’ Gold Check Capiz Vanity Tray for a $100 holiday set.
Still, if the week has a headline act for anyone who loves a good color story, it’s the one that lets you match your glasses to your blush.
