#7 in Best Eye Makeup

What the gurus are saying

Gurus overwhelmingly praise the mascara for its volumizing power and formula, with several calling it a daily favorite and noting strong performance on multiple coats. The main divide centers on the brush: some find it too large and difficult to control, leading to clumping and messy application on lower lashes, while others appreciate how it helps define lashes with natural spacing. Length tends to be the weaker point compared to volume.

"The mascara is a no for me. I don't like the wand. It's too big and fluffy. If you have really skinny lashes that have a lot of length and you're looking for volume, it seems to provide volume, but on my lashes, it just kind of got clumpy. I do like that it's super black. The brown color is fine. But I just don't like it. It gave me a very messy application on my lower lash line. I have much better mascaras that I use. It's definitely a pass for me on the mascara."

"The brush is huge for this size cap. A little difficult to control it. I think it gives enough volume, but it really didn't offer any lengthening because I feel like my lashes look really stumpy. The Rare Beauty is giving more volume."

"I like the Rare Beauty mascara. Her lashes are very like they have space in between her lashes and it helps. Sometimes the mascara for Christina will clump the spaces and will connect the lash too much."

"Oh yeah, that's pretty darn nice. We're going to go in with coat number two, see if we can really maximize length. It feels curling. Wow, okay, holy cow, that is fabulous."

"I was actually planning on using some falsies but after building up the mascara like a lot, especially on this outer corner, I think I might skip falsies. I think it looks good as is."

"Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Mascara is a new favorite of mine. I actually only got the trial size, like a little sample size, and I used that thing so quick. It was my daily go-to every single day. I took it on vacation with me. I love that mascara. I got every last bit of that mascara before it was completely dried up, so really a huge fan. It's such a good mascara. It's a solid formula but it volumizes."
