Rare Beauty wins strong reviews for high‑performing, highly pigmented staples—especially the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, bronzer sticks, highlighters, and a lightweight, breathable foundation that blends easily and flatters many tones—so yes, the brand works. Reviewers praise long wear, blendability, accessible packaging, and inclusive shades, while noting drawbacks like overly intense blush that’s tricky for beginners, occasional fading or clumping, shade undertone mismatches for very fair or cool skin, and some leaking or fragile packaging and short‑lived fragrances.

  • Every product I tried from rare beauty has been amazing. My favorites are definitely the liquid blush and the mascara. I love the packing and general concept of rare beauty, and the shade range seems pretty inclusive.

  • I have been using their concealer which is one of the first that is even close to my skin tone. I have heard rave reviews of the blush. Will try more esp given affordable price.

  • Liquid blush is so pigmented that you truly only need 1-3 dots per use! It lasts all day and comes in such an array of shades. I've also really enjoyed the lipsticks and am open to trying more of the products because of how happy I am with the ones I currently use.

  • Amazing blush! Super pigmented and stays on for a long time

    Feedback

    The texture of the blush is ever so slightly cakey but other than that, nothing to improve!

  • You cannot go wrong with any of their products. From the foundation to blushes, a little goes a long way. I also love the thought that went into the design of the products.

  • Worth all the hype. Not only are the products fantastic, but I admire Rare Beauty's mission to give back and fight the stigma surrounding mental health. I swear by the blushes, foundation, concealer and lip oils.

  • I own the liquid blush, liquid highlighter, and the mascara. The blush and highlighters are perfectly pigmented and last ages! The mascara is not my favorite due to becoming clumpy on the wand soon after opening. I love the brand’s mission and how much they give back to the community.

  • PRODUCTS & OVERVIEW: Perfect Strokes Mascara and Soft Pinch Blush. OVERVIEW: I really enjoyed both products overall and they are made of good quality. I used the mascara for the longest time but made the switch to Loreal Lash Paradise. IMO, they are very similar but Loreal is cheaper and doesn't dry out as fast. The blush was very nice and pigmented but it does not blend as well as it used too. I have seen that it tends to lose its pigment and blendability after a while. Again, I think the products are good but I am in a season of exploring other brands. WORTH THE PRICE? Maybe, it is cheaper than other high end brands and generally other brands on the market but if you're on a budget, NYX or ELF will do.

  • I love the mission behind this brand and I color pay off for their blushes are amazing.

  • I use the soft pinch blush and love it!!! Easy to apply with a brush or fingers. It’s all I’ve tried from the brand, but would recommend. A little goes a LONG way.

  • Liquid blush>>> blends beautifully under or over powders and is sooo pigmented so one product will last you a long time. Worth the money!

  • I'm actually quite happy with what I've tried from Rare Beauty. Their packaging is cute and super easy to use, nothing too fancy or stupid looking. I'm in love with their liquid blushes and highlighters. Im super excited to try more things from this brand.

  • I have four shades - Encourage, Grace, Hope, and Happy and they are all beautiful on my skin. A little goes a long way and they last all day!

  • Tried the blush and the tinted lip oil and it's super pigmented, high quality and it lasts very long. Worth the money.

  • Love their Blush, super pigmented even with a small amount. I support their brands mission. I recently tried the concealer but i feel like it doesn’t blend nicely to my skin. Overall, it is really worth the try.

  • Love this product!! Makes me glow, but less in a sparkly way more in a natural way. Could apply more to appear stronger

  • Love the mascara. It's my favorite and I can't find anything like it.

  • Too expensive and WAY TO CONCENTRATED!! Had to return the blushes because they made me look like a clown.

  • I’ve been using my liquid blush bday sample for the past two years and still got a long way to go. I love how long it has lasted me (definitely worth your money), but I find that it’s not the best for oily skin!

  • I mostly love the products I've tried, however the lip balm that I purchased I was not a fan. It tasty extremely funny, not sure if it was just mine or if they are all like that!
