About Rare Beauty
Founded in 2019 by Selena Gomez, Rare Beauty is a vegan and cruelty-free makeup brand that celebrates self-expression and natural beauty. First appearing on screens at just 10 years old, Selena’s beauty standards were distorted by filters and Photoshop. Now, through Rare Beauty, she's on a mission to champion self-acceptance. The brand's signature impact initiative, the Rare Impact Fund, is dedicated to raising $100 million over 10 years to expand access to mental health services and education for young people worldwide. Space NK is contributing to this initiative by donating 1% of Rare Beauty sales to the Rare Impact Fund.
Who is Rare Beauty for
Rare Beauty makeup is for anyone keen to celebrate individuality without masking what makes them unique. Featuring the weightless Rare Beauty foundation and the playful shades of the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, Selena Gomez’s makeup products are designed to ensure that using makeup is an enjoyable experience. Rare Beauty prioritises inclusivity through its extensive range of 48 foundation and concealer shades. The packaging is thoughtfully designed, featuring a sphere shape at the top of the applicators, making it user-friendly, especially for individuals with disabilities.
