  • 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.

  • Tried the liquid eyeliner and it wasn't for me. Pigment was strong but not long lasting, I had noticed after 2-3 hours it would start to come off. The eyeliner itself also started to dry out quicker than other brands I had tried.

  • I only have a blush and highlighter and I’m obsessed. The shade mesmerize is a stunning liquid highlighter and hope is a stunning blush shade. I have also tried the eye brightener too. I need to try other products. I love everything Selena stands for and her inclusivity.

  • Out of the multiple Rare products I've tried, there's only 1 I haven't liked - the melting cream blush. That said, I absolutely adore the soft pinch liquid blush, the bronzer stick, and the tinted lip oil. All fantastic products that I will continue to repurchase.

  • This brand sells my favorite blush. I will not walk out the door without this on my face. I have had the same blush for over a year and I still have half the container left. I am so impressed with this brand.

  • Rare beauty has really high pigmented lip and blush products. I love that their lip oil is long lasting and does not leave my lips feeling chapped. The formula is high quality and comes in flattering colors.

  • This is my new favorite foundation I love it as I am getting back into makeup after not wearing makeup for years. It does not feel like I want anything and it has great coverage and the color quality is amazing.

  • They’re blushing their products go on, so smooth and soft unnoticeable great application

  • Rare Beauty has quickly become one of my favorite makeup brands! I love how inclusive they are, offering a wide range of shades that cater to every skin tone. The products are so easy to use, and the formula is always lightweight and buildable, giving me a natural yet polished look. The blushes are especially amazing—so pigmented and blendable. Rare Beauty makes me feel confident and empowered, and I love how it celebrates individuality in beauty!

  • I’ve only tried the travel size liquid blush but I like the product so far! Just a few dots does the trick, and I love the shade of peach that Joy is. I’m open to trying their other products, what else is good? :)

  • I love Rare Beauty's mission and products. I feel that the value is very high. You get a lot of product with great performance for good prices. They also have a wide product offering which is nice. They have amazing formulas and a great shade range on most products.

  • I have been using their foundation for years. Obviously their blush is a staple, and for good reason. But, if you haven't tried their foundation, I definitely recommend it because of the wide shade range, affordable price point, and applicator.

  • Rare Beauty has quickly become a standout brand in the beauty industry. With its inclusive range of products that celebrate diversity, Rare Beauty emphasizes natural beauty and self-acceptance. The foundation is particularly impressive, offering good coverage while feeling lightweight on the skin. The liquid blushes are a must-have, delivering a beautiful flush that blends effortlessly. Plus, the packaging is both sleek and functional. Overall, Rare Beauty successfully combines quality, innovation, and a positive message, making it a brand worth trying for anyone who loves makeup.

  • I have three Rare Beauty blushes- one cream and two powder. All 3 are SUPER pigmented and have an incredible color payoff. You do need to be careful when applying because a little bit goes a long way! Overall love the colors and they are long lasting. They also have a beautiful shimmer. I look forward to trying other Rare Beauty products soon!

    Received a free product from Rare Beauty
  • I am a huge fan of rare beauty products, I just recently bought my first product from them. While shopping and Sephora recently I went ahead and picked up one of her highlighters. The shine and shimmer that this highlighter offers is unlike any highlighter I've ever used. Plus who doesn't love Selena Gomez? I'm also a big fan of her blush wands, along with her foundation and concealer that is also shade inclusive.

  • Rare Beauty is definitely one of the fastest growing beauty brands I’ve ever come across (and for good reason). My biggest pros and cons for the brand would be… PRO: shade range, price point, color range (lip products) great makeup brushes CON: complexion products are not great for sensitive skin types Overall, would recommend to anyone looking to try new beauty products at a decent price point.

  • I was surprised with how good this brand is. The concealer stick and loose powder were easy to use and enhanced my skin. I want to try some of the other products from this brand.

  • I have tried Rare Beauties liquid blushes, highlight, concealer, foundation, and setting powder and the only product that truly impressed me was the powder. The Good: The powders packaging is THE BEST. I love that the powder's contained until you slide open the sifter. As someone that regularly brings their makeup to do on the go, this has been a game changer. Additionally, the shade selection is decent. I am on the "easier" end of the spectrum with very fair skin and yellow/neutral undertones and was able to make their shade selection work. The Meh: The blushes are meant to be super pigmented but I feel like as soon as I start to blend, they dissipate into thin air. I have a mini trio set so that may be the issue, but I'm not impressed. I was originally stoked with the highlight but was bummed when I realized it was glittery rather than just having a nice glow-y sheen. The foundation and concealer are both super drying on my skin, no matter how well prepped my skin is. Big bummer.

  • ive only tried their Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the shade Bliss is so far and i love it! it's a soft baby pink and the product itself is great. a little goes a loooonggg way and the packaging is so cute!

  • I have the cream blush (NOT the viral liquid one!) and the golden highlighter. I love both of these products so much! I love the cute little compact for the cream blush and the shade range it comes in I prefer to the liquid blush. I also find it super easy to use and blend by hand - I bought this one also because I saw a review recommending cream vs liquid blushes in general for ppl who have less makeup experience! aka me haha. I want to try more of her products!!
