🎨 Makeup Review Introduction
James Charles begins the video by admitting he was initially skeptical about Selena Gomez's beauty brand, Rare Beauty. However, after witnessing successful product launches and positive reviews, he has changed his mind. The video will be a mix of showcasing products he loves, first impressions of new products, and an honest review of the makeup routine using Rare Beauty products. He also mentions that this has been one of his most requested videos.
🧴 Foundation and Primer Application
James starts the makeup routine with Rare Beauty's 'Always an Optimist Illuminating Primer' and discusses his appreciation for the brand's positive messaging. He then applies the 'Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation' but finds the shade '200C' to be a mismatch. Despite this, he notes that the foundation has improved since his first experience with it. He follows up with the 'Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Stick' in 'Bright Side' and is pleased with its creamy formula and blending capabilities. James also uses the 'Soft Pinch Liquid Blush', which he highly praises, and applies the 'Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer', though he wishes it was thicker for better coverage. Lastly, he sets his base with the 'Always an Optimist Soft Radiance Setting Powder', but is disappointed with its radiant finish and color match.
🌟 Eyeshadow and Eyeliner Application
After addressing the setting powder issue and making adjustments, James moves on to the eyebrows using the 'Brow Harmony Shape and Fill Duo', which he finds convenient for on-the-go touch-ups. He then proceeds with the eyeshadow using the 'Discovery Palette', appreciating the cohesive naming scheme of the shades. James creates a simple, warm, smoky eye look, using shades like 'Happy', 'Love', and 'Hope'. He experiments with the glitter shade 'Splendor' but decides against it for a more cohesive look. The liner application with 'Perfect Strokes Matte Liquid Liner' impresses him with its precision and pigmentation, and he applies a simple winged look.
💋 Lip and Highlighter Finishing Touches
James tests the 'Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara', noting that it provides more length than volume, which he prefers. He then applies the viral 'Rare Beauty Highlighter' in 'Mesmerized', a champagne pink shade, and is amazed by its reflective, glow-from-within finish without a glittery appearance. For the lips, he uses the 'Rare Beauty Lip Oil', which he loves for its lightweight, creamy feel and non-sticky finish. Lastly, he sets his makeup with the 'Rare Beauty Setting Spray' and concludes the video with his final thoughts, highly recommending most of the products except for the setting powder.

thank you
hello you guys James Charles here and
welcome back to my YouTube channel today
I have a confession to make I was wrong
about a beauty brand when one celebrity
makeup brand in particular was announced
a couple of years ago honestly you guys
I'm gonna be real I was not convinced I
didn't think it made a lot of sense for
the person owning it I didn't know what
type of product she was going to release
or how it would actually work in the
beauty space but years later my mind has
been changed after seeing so many huge
successful launches after seeing
thousands of tick tocks reviewing
products even after trying a lot of
products myself and implementing them
into my daily makeup routine I can admit
it this doesn't happen very often Darren
even say it might be a rare occurrence
for me
but I was definitely wrong and in
today's YouTube video we're going to be
trying out a full face of Selena Gomez's
rare Beauty because spoiler alert it
actually slaps so this video today is
going to kind of be like a mixture of a
couple of different things it's going to
be a Showcase of products I already love
it's going to be a first impressions of
some new products that I haven't gotten
to try yet and of course an honest
review throughout the process so if you
want to see me do a full face of rare
beauty makeup let's get right into it
[Music]
[Applause]
all right you guys let's get right into
this makeup routine today first and
foremost if you guys are excited for
this you better go ahead and give it a
big thumbs up down below this has been
one of my most requested videos of all
time like I said every single time that
I even talk about a rare beauty product
in the video the comments are flooded so
I am giving I'm feeding you my I'm Mommy
and I'm I am feeding the children what
did he say let's get right into this
makeup routine first and foremost we are
going to start off with the rare Beauty
always an optimist Illuminating primer I
will say I and I stand behind my lights
on
I really like a lot of the rare beauty
products and the names aren't bad okay I
love the idea of the positivity and the
encouraging messages but personally I
think it's a little bit cheesy that's
just me am I the am I just a hater
like now that we're all primed and ready
to go I'm gonna use my liquid touch
weightless Foundation I'm in the shade
200C I'm hoping this is going to be a
good match for me it does come with a
dofa applicator it's not a great match
for me not at all actually oopsie I feel
like I've gotten worse at shade matching
like I feel like we had a good couple of
years where I was really like on the
money every single time with accurate
foundations and now we've gone backwards
we're gonna have to make it work it's
the only foundation color that we got I
will be honest with you guys the rare
Beauty Foundation is one of the products
that I have already tried from the brand
it was a really long time ago when it
first came out but I do remember not
loving it the first time around so I'm
hoping that today is better honestly so
far it's looking pretty good so maybe it
was on me the first time okay now we're
gonna add a little bit of color to the
face using the warm wishes effortless
bronzer stick
I picked up the shade bright side today
which seems to be like the perfect
neutral Contour shade for me I'm really
excited because a lot of the other
Shades were actually sold out this is
the one that I wanted and it was there
so let's go right in oh that's a really
nice formula it's very creamy oh it's
blending really nicely oh my hair I need
a [ __ ] haircut now wow that blends
out so nicely that is like actually
crazy now I'm gonna go in with my happy
blood oh wait what the [ __ ] is this
actually called oh isn't it like the oh
it's the soft pinch liquid blushes
aren't they like a playful little like
[ __ ] gotcha you guys have seen me use
this in my videos many times I love
these blushes I think they are
incredible they are so highly pigmented
I really really like them and this is
probably my favorite product from the
rare Beauty line at least so far I could
I could have a new top Contender by the
end of this video who knows but these
are definitely amazing and now we're
gonna go in with our liquid touch
brightening concealer now the reason why
I'm doing this step in this order I just
glammed with my favorite makeup artist
of all time Louie's dollhouse a couple
of weeks ago and he had a really
interesting technique meat where oops
this color is going to be [ __ ] crazy
for me I was glad because one of my
favorite artists Louie's dollhouse and
he did the concealer like last in the
base routine which I thought was so
weird and when I asked him why he
explained that he liked to do the blush
first because then when you blend out
the concealer it kind of like creates a
light Veil over it which makes it look
like the blush is coming from within as
opposed to like caked on the cheekbones
and I just thought that was really
interesting technique that I never seen
before so we're gonna try it out for
ourselves today so far it's not my
favorite concealer that I've ever tried
I do wish it was a little bit thicker
and creamier I feel like because it is
so lightweight it's not giving me really
the coverage that I am looking for but
in person I'm still definitely seeing
some discoloration for my under eyes
coming through as well as like the cheek
especially the beard region I just got
laser yesterday so my facial hair is a
little bit crazy right now finally to
set this all in place our base routine
is about to be complete we are going to
use the get ready for this always an
optimist soft Radiance setting powder
I just it's just the red Beauty setting
powder whoa look at that inside of there
it's like a twisty thing oh whoa okay
interesting so you twist this way it's
covered and then you twist this and then
the holes for the powder are in there
every time that I have a setting powder
I literally take the sifter out all
together I like to be able to dunk a
powder puff and just grab a [ __ ] ton but
once again I recognize this brand is
really targeted towards the everyday
makeup girly so I'm not going to judge
on different preferences and we're just
going to go right in and set this in
place I definitely should have gotten
the lightest shade because this light
medium color is definitely too dark in
fact it's literally turning my under
eyes orange I don't know if you can see
it on camera but in person this looks
really really unflattering it's also I
know it says it's a Radiance setting
powder so it's not like I'm you know
Bamboozled by the effect by any means
but if I'm setting my face in place I
don't want Radiance I want it to be
fully matte and locked in and then I can
add radians later on with products like
highlighter like a reflective bronzer
and stuff like that I don't want my
setting powder to be radiant because
then that's going to cause a lot of
problems and make my face look oily it
later on so this setting powder is
definitely not doing the job that I'd
want it to be doing I'm currently hating
how my face looks so I've made the
executive decision decision sorry I
[ __ ] caught it I caught it I don't
want to hear it I made the executive
decision to try to fix up my face a
little bit just because the first
products were so good the foundation
looked amazing the concealer looked
pretty good when I blended it out the
blush the Contour it was all really
working well together so we're going to
I'm going to fix it so that way the
final result is an accurate
representation of how good the products
actually are
minus the powder I went in with some
Contour we added some more liquid blush
used a different setting powder and I
think we got the face to an okay place
that accurately represents the beauty of
the brand okay we're gonna ignore that
setting powder pretend like it never
happened next product we have is the
Brows so this is oh wait brow Harmony
shape and fill Duo okay so this is what
the product looks like you open it up
like this and you see the things inside
oh [ __ ] look at this I think is this
correct look at this oh oh my God
you look so good oh my gosh that is the
craziest little okay so that she really
said let's make a product you can fit in
your purse for brows on the go I think
this one's supposed to be more like a
Pomade and this one's more of a powder
okay we're gonna
all right the Brows are all done I just
added a little bit of my
is this called Silk Touch concealer wait
liquid touch brightening concealer as an
island primer and I'm just going to
blend that in and we're going to get
started with the eyeshadow and today
we're going to be using the discovery
palette it is pretty cute it has some
like nice shades in there I'm gonna dip
into the shade happy first and it's like
this muted Dusty pink type of color and
I'm going to use a fluffy brush this is
going to be our crease shade I think I'm
just going to create like a warm simple
smokey eye today oh going on really
nicely though although I was kind of
making fun of the names a little bit
earlier and I said behind what I said I
do at least like that they are
consistent like this pink shade here
matches the pink blush happy very cute
we also have joy the eyeshadow which
matches the joy blush so I do like that
although some of the names are a little
crazy I do at least like that they're
keeping them cohesive throughout
different products so that way the
customers can kind of pick and choose
their favorites that they love and you
can create cute looks as well so I do
like that I'm gonna grab a little bit of
love which is like a kind of burnt warm
red shade and I'm gonna put this in the
outer corner I mean this middle glitter
shade is obviously stunning what is it
called it is called Splendor it's really
beautiful it's calling my name however
it's like a dark metallic like silvery
Brown which I honestly don't think will
be very flattering with this look like
this doesn't really make sense in the
color story here if I'm being completely
real yeah let's just okay I guess we're
just going to try it and say and hope
for the best here
oh no okay hold on I'm gonna use this
shade first this is the shade hope and
I'm gonna use this as like a cut crease
base and then I'm going to try topping
the glitter on top that might look a
little bit better now let's do a little
bit of Splendor on top
I don't know if I'm real I don't know if
I'm feeling this glitter formula which
is crazy because this like looks insane
in the pan but it just wasn't really
sticking to my eyelid and I feel like I
could go without this or just make it
like a full impact right like if I'm
gonna do a glitter [ __ ] I want glitter
all right that is one of my rare eyes
all complete I'm gonna go ahead and
throw it off camera quickly to get them
to match and I'll be right back to
finish off the rest of the luck I got
both eyes to match and I definitely
stand behind my thoughts on the palette
from before moving along to the liner
and mascara we have two more products to
try starting off with our perfect
Strokes matte liquid liner here is what
she looks like and I'm definitely
excited for this because I'm always in
the market for a new liquid liner we're
just gonna do a simple Wing oh wow the
body of the liner is actually really
really thick at its base as you guys can
see but the tip is so so tiny and
precise look at how like cute and tiny
that Wing is but it's still so sharp
okay off to a very good start let's
continue on okay I'm really impressed
okay now let's say a prayer and get the
other item match I am really really
impressed with this liner I don't know
if it's because I just mentioned that I
needed a new favorite liquid liner but
this definitely just got added to the
list of contenders because that looks
amazing it's very black it's very
pigmented it didn't skip at all and look
at how sharp I was able to get those
points 10 out of 10. that was a good one
all right so for mascara today we're
gonna be using the rare Beauty perfect
Strokes Universal volumizing mascara
I've never tried this mascara before so
this is going to be another first
impression I have heard lots of great
reviews of this on social media so let's
go ahead and give it a try okay I am
really really liking this mascara I
completely disagree that this is a
volumizing mascara though I would
definitely say that this is giving me
more lengthening than it is volumizing
which I prefer that's not a bad thing
that it's not a bad thing this could be
a new favorite as well now that the eyes
are all done we're so close to the end
of this makeup routine and we're gonna
do a step next that I have not done in
quite a while and that is going to be a
highlighter normally I skip this all
together and I just like to use a kind
of liquid or cream blush on top of
everything to melt everything together
but this highlighter has been going so
viral on social media it has been insane
so I had to try it out and honestly I
can see why look at how [ __ ] pretty
that looks it literally looks like a
silk pillow luxurious expensive rich
person's pillow it's so pretty so so so
pretty I picked up the shade mesmerized
which is like a beautiful champagne pink
and I'm just going to grab a little
brush and we're going to go right in and
see how this wears on
the face
see I don't even wear highlighter
anymore I really don't care for it but
holy [ __ ] [ __ ] that is one of the
prettiest formulas that I've ever tried
in my life that looks so bomb it is
extremely reflective and pretty but
doesn't have that like glittery type of
look that so many highlighters do it
really does look like a glow from within
oh my God that is stunning holy [ __ ] we
are so close to the end you guys we have
a couple of different lip products to
choose from today now rare Beauty just
released these new lip oils I've already
done a review on my tech talk and
spoiler alert they're really
sorry about that I've been doing some
more research into these because the way
that the formula described was kind of
interesting it was like oh this is a gel
formula that turns into like a an oil
and everybody was like I don't know
about that and upon trying it I agreed
and there was a really interesting Tick
Tock that I saw theorizing somebody
suggested that they probably started
developing these about two years ago
when lip tint were super super trendy
but now that they are out of style and
lip oils are in they use the same exact
formula and just called it a lip oil
instead
conspiracy theory really really enjoyed
this product but a lip oil it is
definitely not but we also have you know
some lip liners and a regular just nice
matte lipstick so maybe I'll do a lip
liner first and then I'll do one of the
oils I'm gonna use the lip liner in the
shade fun the lip liner formula is okay
I am really really loving this color on
myself I think it looks so [ __ ]
pretty but the formula is a little bit
creamier than I would want it to be
personally I like a more drier lip liner
because I feel like it's going to stay a
lot better but I digress let's go in
with our rare Beauty lip oil I said this
my tech talk already but I'll reiterate
the same thought here I love this
formula it is really really nice it's
very lightweight but still somehow feels
extremely creamy which is like a weird
sensation
um it dries down to like a nice sort of
consistency it's not too sticky really
love overall and last but not least you
guys I'm gonna set my face in place
using the rare Beauty setting spray I'm
sure there's a crazy name attached to
this but I've had this one in my
collection for quite a long time now so
I don't have the box anymore and this is
my final makeup look with my full face
of rare Beauty I'm really excited to see
what you guys think down below so
definitely make sure you leave me a
comment but my final thoughts are that I
am really really impressed almost every
single product we tried today was really
really phenomenal and the only product
that I would absolutely not recommend
and would skip out on would have to be
at the rare Beauty setting powder I had
to do a lot of work to fix it up it
literally turned my concealer orange I
definitely would skip out on this one
there are a lot better setting powders
on the market but everything else
definitely gets a massive thumbs up for
me and speaking of thumbsing up I really
hope that you guys enjoyed today's video
