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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
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!!
Rare Beauty offers an undeniably impressive formula across its range. They have smooth, blendable, and highly pigmented products that perform beautifully on the skin. The color selection is stunning, with shades I think can fkattering and thoughtfully curated for a wide range of skin tones. However, where the brand falls slightly short, in my opinion, is in its packaging. While it's functional and recognizable, it lacks the luxurious feel one might expect at this price point. I was hoping for packaging that felt a bit more elevated. Overall, while the performance is there, the presentation leaves a bit to be desired.

I am always hesitant to buy celebrity makeup brands but had heard such good things about this one and was needing a new liquid blush anyways. So that said, I've only tried the liquid blush but the quality is excellent. It's super vibrant, buildable, and feels great on the skin. It blends beautifully with my foundation and there is no patchiness. I can't recommend the entire line because I've only used one item, but if the quality is this strong in the blush I imagine it's pretty consistent for all Rare Beauty! I also feel like it's going to last foreverrrrr based on the amount of product in the tube and how little I use each time because of the pigment strength.
I love most of the products I've tested so far, like many people here, I love the Soft Pinch Blush. I have a darker complexion, so finding blushes that are pigmented enough to show up on my skin can be (dare I say) rare. A little goes a long way and I'm keen to try more shades! Their Lip Soufflé Lip Cream is also amazing. I've repurchased the shade Inspire multiple times and it's my go to for an everyday soft red lippy. If you have darker lips, the pigment is beautiful and the colour blends out beautifully. I find the texture can be funny sometimes but it's not a big deal. The Tinted Lip oil & Always an Optimist didn't work well for me.
Not a fan of Selena but a huge fan of this line. Love the blush. So pigmented and great quality. You get your money's worth
I LOVE Rare Beauty's highlighters! They are so flattering on my skin tone! And their packaging is accessible!! AHHHH!!!
I love rare beauty. I have sensitive skin and nothing has broken me out! My favorite products are the liquid blush (shade happy) the contour stick and the liquid highlighter!
I have tried the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the color shade "Hope" and I love it. It gives that soft halo on your cheeks like you just tanned on the beach during the day, plus the tint is so full that you only need a tiny bit, so the product lasts long. I also have the Positive Light Liquid Luminizer in the color shade "Outshine", which I use to give some spotlights on my face. I love their products and will repurchase them.
Rare Beauty feels like its branding has gotten less coherent in recent years. The products are also, genuinely, average, regardless of price point. The packaging is great, and the formulations are ok. The blush overdoes itself, honestly - no one really needs a blush to last years and years. The brushes are great and very beginner friendly, and the primers/setting sprays are also great and versatile! However, all of the makeup products I've bought from them - I eventually stop using them a little early on because they're just... ok, and tried to figure out how to love them, and replace them earlier than I originally wanted to.
good product, blush is great but the packaging leaks a bit which ends in a lot of wasted product considering how little you need for each use. The product gathers and pools around the rim. Otherwise, great blush. Eyeliner brush was great but dried way faster than my other eyeliners
I have only tested the liquid blush in tint bliss but his incredible : he’s SUPER pigmented but also super natural The only negative point I see is that it’s dry quickly and it’s not super easy to blend it…
I love the blush and the lip oil, both of which last me all day with just one application. I'm such a fan.
I've tried a few liquid blushes in the past and they did not work for me but I love the rare beauty liquid blush! It is so easy to apply, blend and has good staying power.
I'm not a big or very experienced makeup wearer, but that said, the products I've tried have been easy to use and effective. The color range for lip/eye/cheek products skew mostly pink, from natural to higher impact. The brand is very approachable and reasonably priced.
I love the mascara. It elongates without clumping which is great. It feels light, and I haven’t had any trouble getting it off with makeup wipes. It lasts most of the day.
I have a liquid lipstick from here, and I swear it’s the best of its kind.
Have loved all of the products I've tried from this brand. I most recently have been using the concealer and really love the shade match - especially for darker skinned people. The products are super pigmented, so a little goes a long way (especially with the liquid blush / highlighters). The lipliner in Strong has become a daily staple as well as their liquid liner pen - I love eyeliners in this form so will be buying again.
I’ve tried a variety of different products from Rare Beauty and can’t think of a single one that I’ve disliked! They are great quality, great price, and have great pigmentation! I also love that most of the products are liquid or cream based which makes blending them super easy!
