Makeup aficionados rejoice — our queen Selena Gomez‘s Rare Beauty line is finally available Down Under! Her hugely hyped range, which was released in the US last year, is available at Australian Sephora stores from today.
The brand features 14 collections and a whopping 133 products, and the Rare Beauty ethos is to offer products with adjustable coverage levels and a weightless finish — so it’s makeup that’s not about covering up what makes you unique. Aww, we love that kind of wholesome mission.
Founder and creator Selena Gomez said of Rare Beauty upon its launch last year:
“I’m so excited to release beauty products that not only feel great, but also celebrate what makes each of us rare. These products aren’t about being someone else, it’s about being who you are, whether that’s rocking a full face of bold makeup or barely any makeup at all. Makeup is something to enjoy, it’s not something you need. I want every person to feel beautiful exactly as they are.”
Okay, stop it. This is too much.
Some of the most hotly-anticipated products of the Rare Beauty range are the Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation, which comes in a range of 32 shades and will set you back $49, as well as the gorj Soft Pinch Liquid Blush which is priced at $34.
We’re also gonna need every single Rare Beauty product Sel has on her stunning face here, starting with the iconic red lip — which is the Lip Soufflé Matte Lip Cream in the shade Inspire (and priced at $34 here in Aus).
Seriously, we are adding the entire product list to cart ASAP. Peep our top picks below.
