I Tried Every Single Rare Beauty Product—These 7 Are Actually Worth the Hype

One thing’s for sure: Rare Beauty’s blush game is tough to beat Both of the blush formulas are so noteworthy, we couldn’t include just one and not the other. The powder blush acts like a flush and highlighter rolled into one thanks to its illustrious finish that draws attention to your beautiful face every time the light hits.

One Cosmo editor says: "The way this blush lifts my cheekbones should be studied. The baked texture is soft, so I can pick up a little product on my brush and dust it on without needing to majorly build up pigment. But I really love the luminous sheen it leaves without any glitters or shimmers. It gives my cheeks a glowy look that always garners compliments." — BETH GILLETTE, BEAUTY EDITOR

Rare Beauty’s clear brow gel has been a favorite of Cosmo editors for years, and the brand recently added six tinted shades to enhance our routines. Both formulas lift and define each individual hair without hardening or getting crusty by the end of the day. A quick swipe instantly sculpts brows, helping us to achieve a no makeup-makeup look in mere seconds.

One Cosmo editor says: “I somehow only discovered the OG Rare Beauty clear brow gel a few months ago, and it’s like Selena read my mind, because a few weeks later, Rare Beauty launched an array of tinted formulas. I truly use this every morning to sculpt my brows. With this, each hair stays in place all day, and it gives them nice definition. Plus, the tiny brush ensures that no excess tinted gel gets on my eyelids or forehead.” —JASMINE HYMAN, ASSISTANT BEAUTY EDITOR

Have you been searching for a mascara that is easily buildable without smudging or flaking throughout the day? Well, when you're ready, come and get it (nana na na). Rare's volumizing mascara does just that. While you can achieve very subtle, defined lashes in just a few strokes, continuing to layer will lift and separate, creating a more dramatic look.

One Cosmo editor says: "Applying mascara probably takes the longest out of everything in my makeup routine because I like to build the product up without clumping my lashes together, and Rare’s mascara seems to be made for exactly that. Also, I wore this mascara on a three-hour train ride after working a full eight-hour day, and when I got home and looked in the mirror, it hadn't budged.” —JL

Selena wasn’t kidding when she called this bronzer stick “effortless”; this is one of the best bronzers—period—for beginners because of how easily it glides and buffs. The stick format also gives you more control so you can swipe on exactly where you want it, blend, and go about your day.

One Cosmo editor says: “I love how creamy and blendable this bronzer stick is. I can quickly swipe it on my cheekbones and down the bridge of my nose and smooth it out with my fingers for an easy (and realistic) looking glow."—LAUREN BALSAMO, BEAUTY DIRECTOR

Everything Rare Beauty creates is meant to add a little joy into your life, and this perfume feels like sunshine even on the rainiest day. The warm, comforting scent swirls caramel with pistachios, vanilla, and tonka for a surprisingly elegant gourmand that can be worn through every era of your life.

One Cosmo editor says: “Before smelling this I had written off pretty much every gourmand perfume. However, Selena created a sweet scent that feels fun, flirty, and sophisticated—a rare combo in fragrance nowadays. Spritzing this gives me an instant mood boost, and I love that the full sized bottle is small enough to fit in most purses.”—MH
