When Selena Gomez launched Rare Beauty in 2020, she made one promise: makeup that makes you feel good without hiding what makes you unique. For Pakistani women — who have long struggled to find international makeup shades that suit South Asian skin tones without looking ashy, orange, or overly pink — Rare Beauty hit different. The brand's emphasis on skin-like finishes, genuinely inclusive shade ranges, and mental health advocacy has built a devoted Pakistani following that grows every month. This is your complete guide to what to buy, which shades to choose, and where to get originals.

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
The product that put Rare Beauty on the global map — and the most searched Rare Beauty product in Pakistan. A single drop blends out to give the most natural, fresh-flushed cheek imaginable.

The formula contains niacinamide and is non-comedogenic — rare for a blush.

Rare Beauty Positive Light Liquid Luminizer
A liquid highlighter that delivers a soft, reflective glow without visible glitter or chunky shimmer — the kind of inner radiance that looks like great skin rather than applied product.

Rare Beauty application tips for Pakistan's climate
- Soft Pinch Liquid Blush: Use ONE drop only — it is extremely pigmented and a little goes a long way. Build up if needed but start with less than you think you need
- Apply blush with a damp beauty blender for the most skin-like, natural finish in Pakistan's humidity
- The 4-in-1 Setting Mist dramatically extends Rare Beauty's wear time in Pakistan's heat — hold 20cm from face, spray in a figure-of-8 motion and let air dry
- Layer the Lip Oil over a ColourPop Lippie Pencil in a matching shade for a fuller-looking, longer-lasting colour result
- Store liquid products away from direct heat — Pakistan's summer temperatures can alter the formula consistency over time
