Is Rare Beauty legit?
Short answer: yes, Rare Beauty is a real store, and our score is 3.4 out of 5. The main caveat: Trustpilot rating of 2.0 from about 120 reviews.
It sells blush, complexion, lip and eye makeup, body care and fragrance through its own website, rarebeauty.com. Public ratings: Trustpilot (rarebeauty.com) 2.0 (118). Returns: Returns within 30 days of placing the order for a refund; shipping isn't refunded.
Our take: legitimate, but read the downsides below before you buy.
Quality
Rare Beauty's store has 118 Trustpilot reviews averaging 2.0. Reviewers like the shades and describe the formulas as lightweight and easy to apply; complaints are mostly about refunds.
Price and value
Products cost about $14 to $30, and sets less, such as a 4-piece set at $39 instead of $65.
Shipping and returns
Orders of $50 or more ship free, process in one to three business days and arrive in three to five. Returns within 30 days of placing the order get a refund, but shipping isn't refunded and reviewers report delayed refunds.
Customer service
The profile is unclaimed, and reviewers say emails go unanswered. Sephora sells the full line with its own returns.
