Rare Beauty Collaboration | Clean Beauty Makeup Artist

As a clean beauty makeup artist, I had the luck of collaborating with Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. Rare Beauty is an American cosmetics company founded by singer and actress Selena Gomez.

Launched on September 3, 2020, the brand takes its name from Gomez’s third studio album, Rare (2020). Rare Beauty is sold through its official website and Sephora stores in multiple regions.

I have received a full set of makeup, including foundations, concealers, blushes, mascara, eye shadows and setting powders for my makeup kit. I love using them on my clients because Rare Beauty products are formulated with a mix of natural and synthetic ingredients. While they are vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free, they also incorporate synthetic ingredients for effectiveness. Some key natural ingredients include niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, peach flower extract, and ashwagandha.

On my commercial and fashion shoots I work with all skin types and different skin sensitivities so having a beauty brand that really understands customers needs and develop the right makeup formulas has been a huge help as a Los Angeles based professional makeup artist.

Rare Beauty stands out as a makeup brand founded on inclusivity, authenticity, and mental health advocacy, redefining what “luxury” means in the beauty industry. It focuses on celebrating individuality and making makeup feel good, not about hiding what makes you unique. The brand’s mission extends beyond products, aiming to destigmatize mental illness through initiatives like the Rare Impact Fund.

I had an amazing time collaborating with the Rare Beauty as a Los Angeles clean beauty makeup artist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them in the future.
