Rare Beauty Site →Amazon →Ulta →Summary of Reviews
Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Mascara gives a very black, slightly thickening finish, but beauty content creator Alexandra Anele found it clumpy and says her lashes were already falling, calling it a "failed experiment." She dislikes the large, fluffy wand for both upper and lower lashes, noting it gets on the lash line without coating the lashes. Anele suggests it might work for people with naturally thin, long lashes, but otherwise recommends passing on it.

Positive
- “I've been loving this mascara from Rare Beauty. The wand is a little fat and a little large, so you just have to be careful not to make a mess, but what I love about it is it builds a lash quickly”12:48–12:53
- “You don't have to spend a whole lot of time building a lash. Like you get a good lash fast and it lasts”12:57–13:03
- “It doesn't flake. I don't have issues with it smudging”13:06–13:11
- “I took this to the Bahamas and it was the mascara that I wore to the beach, to the pool and at night. So great”13:08–13:15
- “For the mascara, I kind of like a little bit I don't know, just like a little bit more kind of natural, almost a messy look. Not messy in a bad way, but just like not perfected. Just natural”13:15–13:20
