Hello everyone, welcome back. Thank you so much
for joining me. I'm very excited today because,
I have the Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable collection to review for you
all today. So we'll be dipping right into that. But first of all, if this is
your first time here on my channel, my name is Robert. I'm a professional makeup
artist here on YouTube and also in real life,
and it's my goal to help you become a Pro yourself or just someone who's
really good at makeup. So if that sounds like something you are interested in,
then please consider subscribing. Okay, let's get into it. So this is the Stay
Vulnerable collection. I'm extremely lucky that I am on Rare Beauty's
PR list. My first original review of Rare Beauty, was sent to me by
a friend in the states, because it's not available here in the UK just yet.
And I absolutely fell in love with the brand, and now I'm
super lucky that I get to receive PR from them. So I greatly appreciate it,
however, I can promise you a review from everyone's point of view, not just mine,
so yes. So, what I'm getting from the whole
collection, the whole vibe of this collection, is a natural
flush of the skin. So, I'm not expecting
higher pigmentation, I'm not expecting vivid color,
quite the opposite actually. I'm expecting muted tones,
flushes and creamier textures. So, saying creamier textures, we have the liquid
eyeshadow and the lip gloss and a...
and a blush. I still don't understand mirror, images. And
a blush that comes in this collection. And they're all kind of monochromatic
within their own little set. I actually haven't opened them and had look at the
colors yet, so let's go ahead and do that. Just a heads up, I don't swatch products
here on my channel. One, because my arms are really hairy, and
you don't really want to see a swatch on a hairy arm.
But also because you don't apply eye shadow with that amount of pressure to
your arm, as you do to your eyes. So I don't believe
it's a good, it's a good look at the kind of color
in the, in the pot, but not how it translates onto the skin.
So let's take a look at the Melting Blush shades. This is
'Nearly Apricot'. No fragrance in them, which is absolutely fine. I, this is, this
color is me. You know I love a good orangey, like
apricotty color. I want to touch it, but I'm not gonna do
it just yet. And with 'Nearly Apricot', we have the accompanying... accompanying?
Yeah. A liquid eyeshadow and the gloss also.
So these are also called 'Nearly Apricot'. 'Nearly Neutral', oh that sound...
oh, I quite like that, that kind of rosy, dusky rose
shade. Oh, now I'm stuck for choice. Okay. I do prefer the lip gloss and the liquid
eyeshadow in this shade, compared to 'Nearly Apricot'. I love 'Nearly Apricot'
blush, you can mix and match I guess. 'Nearly Rose', I don't like this pink,
I can't stand this color but I know there are loads of you out there, that
would absolutely adore this shade, and this kind of, oh I don't want to
touch them just yet because I want to do a first impression. Yeah, I know there's
people that will love this shade, and there's some people out there whose
skin tone this will look absolutely beautiful with
so 'Nearly Rose'. The glossy lip balm, sorry I've been calling it lip gloss, it's
glossy lip balm. And the liquid eye shadow, that's nice
actually. Oh, I'm so torn. Oh!
'Nearly Berry', oh my god, that's edible. Oh, and
I want to bite into that, look how stunning that is.
And then we have the glossy lip balm, and the liquid eyeshadow. This is a lot
lighter than I thought it would be with that shade. And then we have
'Nearly Mauve' which is this, I like this one too, you know.
I'm trying to decide which one to use. And we have the liquid eyeshadow and
the gloss that goes with that also. Sorry, I keep looking in my monitor, I'm trying
to get it so the light isn't shining, so you can see
it. And there's also an eyeshadow brush that comes with it also.
Ah, so it's almost like, so the metal at the back here is raised slightly and
then it dips down. So I'm guessing it, so you get that
pressure when you apply the shadow. So when I first used that
concealer brush, that came with the brand, with brands that have brushes in
their collections, I usually dismiss the brush, I'm like,
it's a brush. However that concealer brush is absolutely incredible, I really
like, again, the pressure it gives. It's almost fingertip pressure, so I'm
interested to try that brush alongside it. I've decided. I
think I'm gonna go for 'Nearly Apricot' which is this orangey
shade in the blush, and then I want to go for 'Nearly Neutral'
in the glossy balm. So in the liquid eyeshadows I'm going to
try 'Nearly Rose', which is this lighter pink.
And then, you know me and purple, I have to try 'Nearly Berry', and see if I can
create a kind of muted, smokey eye. Okay, so let's start with the
blush first. This is, I'm really excited to try this.
Okay, so it's very, it's very creamy. Wow but okay, so that's not, I was
expecting an almost... the texture is very similar to like,
it's not bad first of all, it's not a bad texture, it's actually better than I
thought it would be. I sometimes, with some cream blushes, I'm
a little bit like... Okay that's a lot stronger than I
thought it would be. Okay let's, okay let's, okay.
Oh okay, no, it blends out absolutely fine. So I like to use my
blush up around this area here, like to give my face a little bit of a lift.
All right, okay. Well for me, for someone who doesn't like
that much color at all, this is a very fine layer of that blush, and that is
absolutely fine for me. However, I do know there are some people
out there who love a good flush of blush, so let's see
how much we can pile this up and how much we can build
the color.
I'm also very interested to see, I have a lot of skin texture
at the moment, so it's kind of interesting to see how it's gonna sit.
Okay, so this side to me, to me is a little bit more neutral,
which is my preferred way to apply. And this side
is a little bit more intense, which I also don't mind.
I don't think it's necessarily buildable, like you don't get full, full
pigmentation but that is the point of a product, so it
absolutely claims to do what it does. so that's good. And you know what, it's
undetectable on the skin, it isn't sitting in any texture
at all. I do prefer this side, I do prefer less,
so I'm gonna have to buff this in. Sorry everyone.
This is what I mean, this is the perfect collection for me, because full coverage,
full color on my face... on my eyes, absolutely fine. But on my
face, I do like, I do like a wash of color. Yeah, I actually really like
that texture. So I was expecting the texture to be a little bit more
stickier when I saw the product. You know what,
the name kind of says it perfectly, it's almost like when you touch it,
the layer you're touching is melting.
Yeah, really hard to describe. I need to read a thesaurus and look up some more
describing words. But yeah, absolutely happy with the blush.
I think that's really, really nice and subtle,
and I'm hoping you can see it on camera, because I can see it in real life, and it
looks perfect for me. Absolutely perfect. So
let's try the lip color, this is the Glossy Lip Balm.
So the name again, suggests to me it's not so much of a intense gloss, it's more
of a balm.
It's really comfortable, the color isn't what I was expecting.
You know what, I want to try this. Let me try it 'Nearly Apricot' and see.
You know what, my lips are so red. This is a texture I haven't felt before,
I'm going to be honest, so I'm a little bit stumped.
It is like lip balm but watery lip balm, not uncomfortable, not uncomfortable by
any means at all. Yeah, I like it. It's hard to describe but I do
like it. Again, I'm a nude person, I don't like color on
my lips, so that's, that's nice to me. Yeah, I'm going to let it sit for a bit,
and see how, how that goes. Okay, I just have to run off there for a
few minutes, I'm really out of breath. Okay, I'm sorry you can hear
crunching, it's really loud, but that's my dog. So what I'm gonna do
is, I'm gonna sit here quietly, and create a look with these, and then
discuss afterwards, okay. So 'Nearly Rose' first.
These actually blend out really, really nicely.
Okay, so a little disclaimer here, I just
had to leave for about half an hour, so I kind of forgot where I was with the
eyes but I was trying to build up the 'Nearly Berry' on the outside corners to
get like a deeper corner. But I keep needing to remember that's
not the aim of the products. I'm feeling very,
the products feel very Korean-esque, in terms of like washes of color,
and that kind of muted tone, which I'm a fan of in general.
But can we talk about... how it hasn't creased.
I've been gone for half an hour, I have very oily eyelids, I did have a
eyeshadow primer on, I had the e.l.f Putty Primer on
before, so maybe that's helped. But these eyeshadows do claim to be long lasting.
As someone who has very greasy, greasy lids,
half an hour is a good time without it creasing.
I'm gonna keep it on longer by the time I finish this video, it probably
would have been on for an hour, so we'll get a good
view on what's happening there. Gloss is still on, gloss still feels very
comfortable on the lip. I actually forgot it was there, and I've been drinking
since, so let me put on a little bit more. I actually think, I'm actually glad I
changed the color, this 'Nearly Apricot' is a really, really
nice color. One thing I do just want to mention
quickly, I don't think I spoke about the brush. I personally didn't find the
brush very useful, I don't know if you saw, I grabbed another
two blending brushes, just because the brush is great for applying the product
initially, and kind of blending it out a little bit.
But in terms of, sorry, blending out to the lid but in terms of actually
blending through the socket, I didn't really find it that useful.
Even trying to flip it on its side, a little bit thicker maybe but then if
it was thicker, it wouldn't be good at kind of smoothing out the product on the lid.
So I don't really think the brush is necessary. Was it a good brush? Yes. Is it
necessary for applying this product in particular? Not really.
Other brushes work absolutely fine.
Very muted, I tell you what though, I do
like Rare Beauty's lip products. I just love
the textures, and the softness of the actual product
itself. I wonder if, you know what, I'm gonna go in with a different color blush
on top, because I really did like the 'Nearly
Neutral' which was this one, and I want to darken up
the top areas here. So I can get that like a little bit more sculpted look, and
then I think I'm going to go in with a little bit of a highlighter from Rare
Beauty, and some lashes, and kind of be done with
the look really.
Maybe that's, a kind of a key to building up the
color in this product, is to leave it for a little bit, maybe not a whole half an
hour but kind of let it set, and then go on top. But it's definitely,
it's almost like it's kept its natural finish, like
it's natural shine. I'm just going over with the brush I used to do my
foundation with to soften it up a little bit. I'm really
impressed with these eyeshadows, I actually really, really like how soft
they are, and I can't feel them at all on my lids. They don't feel dry,
crusty, crumbly. Feels like skin actually, and no creasing.
Again, I don't know if that's because I had the base on before
but. So I'm going to take the Liquid Luminizer, and this isn't part of this
collection, it's part of the original release.
In 'Enchant', this is such an incredible highlighter.
When I used this in my video, again go and watch that first time
using the brand, I teared up.
It just looks like shine, it doesn't look like
color. It's not too intense. You know, it snowed here
in the south of England yesterday morning, and because I'm on the top, top
level of my house, all I can hear is the snow
like melting, and falling off the roofs. But it sounds like my whole house is
falling down. Nice, I'm feeling fresh skinned.
Okay, I'm gonna put on some lashes and then I'll be right back with you.
Okay well, this is the finished look using the Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable
collection. I really, really like it. I'm, I'm still getting no creasing, it's a
really nice wash of color. Yeah, it's great. The lip product is
extremely comfortable, the blush is exactly what it says on the
tin, it's a flush of color that looks extremely natural on the skin.
Now, if you do like your full coverage products, this may not be
the collection for you in any way. And I know people's versions of
intense color, intensity is different. For me, this is enough blush, whereas I know
for other people they wouldn't dream of going out with so
little blush on, you know. However, I think there are some really incredible new
textures in here. The blush has a very unique, I haven't
really felt it before, texture that sits really comfortably,
looks really nice, looks like skin. However the winner from this whole
collection is the eyeshadow for me. For something,
you know how I am with creasing on the lid. I hate creasing on the lid,
concealer on the lid, I absolutely hate it. This sits so well. I can imagine this,
this is such a Summer texture, you know. It's not too much, it's not too
heavy, it doesn't feel like makeup but it has that intensity. I would love
to see a deep brown, maybe a deeper burgundy,
and maybe some shimmer shades in this formula. I think this is a winning
formula, that they should be very proud of. I
think it's really nice. The Glossy Lip Balm
is really nice, I like minimal color. Let me just put on 'Nearly Berry' so you can
see when it has a little bit more color to it.
Oh, even that, oh I love that like bleeding lip look.
Yeah, see how it like, could be your lip color, you know. I do like
nothing on my lip. This is fine actually, the berry may be,
even still, a little bit too much for me, personally, you know. I like nude vaseline.
No, I hate vaseline lip balm, you know or clear gloss, I think I
prefer. But the texture is so comfortable, the
nudes are really nice, that 'Nearly Apricot'
my favorite. My favorite lip color from this collection. I'm actually really,
really impressed. I expected to find, I don't know why
because I was impressed when it first launched. I expected to find
formulas and textures that I was very familiar with, especially with the
liquid eyeshadow. I thought it would crease. The blush I thought maybe a
little bit more tacky, a little bit more stickier,
absolutely not. And again, there's something from
this collection that I consider now one of my staples...
adore it. That's going in my tray, used to be on my trolley, now it's my tray. I'm
just fascinated with the liquid eyeshadow, like I've been
sitting here for what, I've been recording for 17 minutes,
and before, I was recording for a certain amount of time. Not one crease, and I
crease. I'm greasy. I'm going to take off these
lashes, and I'm going to remove everything,
and I'm actually going to sit with this eyeshadow on. I'll go and do like
house things, and I'm gonna keep it on for
a little bit longer, because like I say, greasy, and then I'll just
film on my phone quickly and just show you if it's still creased up. It is
12:25 now, 1:09 oh. Oh my god, what was that flashing light?
I'm being spied on. And this is how the eyeshadows have held out.
They look fine, no real creasing at all. I've got a bit of lash glue on my eyelid there,
it has come away slightly from here but that's where the lash glue was, and I
peeled off my lashes. Yeah, it's held out really well. I'm
really, really impressed. It's been a long time since I put it on.
This is really, really impressive for me. I have very greasy lids,
so yeah, a little update there for you. I absolutely loved that collection. Thank
you so much to Rare Beauty for sending it to me.
This, I really, really like this brand. I have yet to fault this brand
so keep it up, keep up the good work. Everyone involved in this should be
extremely proud of the products they're creating.
I like it, I really, really like, I don't know what else to say.
Yeah, thank you so, so much for joining me. Let me know if you've tried any of this,
let me know if you've had any issues with the eye
shadow, and maybe we can discuss and see what everyone else is doing.
Let me know if you have any favorite products from this collection or Rare
Beauty in general. Give this video a big thumbs up if you
liked it, and please consider subscribing and I will see you very soon, bye.
