  • Highly pigmented blush formula
  • Inclusive, thoughtful shade range
  • Elegant, accessible packaging
  • Blendable, lightweight textures
  • Mascara prone to fallout
  • Eyeliner dries or fades quickly
  • Perfume’s weak scent longevity
  • Blush difficult for beginners

Rare Beauty impresses in reviews for performance: highly pigmented blushes, blendable base products, and inclusive shade ranges deliver natural, long‑lasting results, while sleek, accessible packaging elevates routine. Weaknesses surface around certain formulas and usability—mascara fallout for some, liquid eyeliner drying or fading early, perfumes with short longevity, occasional leaking or bulky components, and the blush’s steep learning curve and potential to fade or cake on some skin types—making product selection key.

  • Extremely high quality products with lower pricing than many of their Sephora counterparts. Great packaging, shades for diverse skintones, trustworthy brand experience.

  • Rare Beauty has increased their prices lately. However, everything is still pretty affordable. The eyeliner is the BEST eyeliner I've ever used, and I wear eyeliner practically every day, so I've tried all kinds of brands. The applicator for the eyeliner is also amazing. I loved it so much I literally gave it to my mom the next day because I knew she would benefit from how easy the application is. I've tried the blush in the shade "Lucky," which is a bright pink. It's a LOVELY summery tone, but you have to be SO careful not to use too much. Definitely takes some trial and error to find the right balance for your skin tone and type. I also have the 4 in 1 mist and the beauty blender. The beauty blender is good. The mist is GREAT. The first time I used it, I noticed an instant brighter look. There is niacinamide in the spray and other good stuff, so I actually do think it is a beneficial spray for your skin. I use it before makeup, after makeup, and throughout the day. I wish the bottle was bigger because it does run out pretty quick. Haven't tried the concealers and foundations, although I've heard good things. The unboxing experience is great. The note from Selena was so sweet!

    I recommend this brand wholeheartedly, and I don't think you can go really wrong with anything on the website. Truly one of the the only celebrity makeup brands I actually think are worth it.

  • I LOVE RARE BEAUTY. From their concealer to mascara, liquid blush, and bronzer, each product melts into the skin so well and is very pigmented, which means you don't run out having to use a lot each time.

  • I have the bronzer and it’s great. I’ve used the Fenty one too but I think the Rare Beauty one is better for me because the formulation is creamier and therefore easier to blend in.

    The bronzer stick is a bit thick, so it’s harder to be precise for nose contour but I still think it’s great overall. The brand is relatively affordable which I appreciate. A little goes a long way!

  • I’ve used the eyeliner and brow pencil from Rare. The eyeliner was not my favorite as my eyes get pretty watery, and it didn’t hold up at all. The brow pencil was good on the gel side and I use that when going for a more natural/everyday look to hold brow hairs in place. The pencil side though didn’t allow me to make precise lines and wasn’t the best.

    I’ve gifted the liquid blush and my friend loves it! I would try more of the complexion products, but so far I’m not entirely impressed.

  • I have the blush, highlighter and mascara. The blush is so pigmented, a little goes a long way and you can build as much color as you want. The highlighter is not my favorite but it is still a really good product. This is the mascara I am into now, I feel like it lengthens my eyelashes and adds volume.

  • 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.
