Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Matte Liquid Liner — Black 0.9 mL, Fine Flexible Brush, Long-Wear Matte

Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Matte Liquid Liner in Black is a precision liquid eyeliner with a refined flexible brush tip that delivers smudge-resistant, matte black lines that stay put through the day.

This updated formula keeps the same rich, long-wearing black pigment you expect from Rare Beauty while introducing a redesigned fine brush for smoother ink flow and cleaner application. The liner is formulated vegan and cruelty-free, packaged in a compact tube ideal for travel or touch-ups, and engineered to draw both ultra-thin hairlines and sharper wings without streaking, flaking, or leaking when used as directed. For best results, shake well with the cap on before each use to redistribute the pigment and ensure consistent coverage.

How precise is the brush tip for creating thin lines or wings?

The improved flexible brush tip was redesigned to balance control with softness: it follows lashlines easily for thin, defined strokes and flexes for thicker winged looks when you apply more pressure. The tip’s fine point helps you place pigment exactly where you want it, reducing corrections and smudging during application.

• Fine, tapered brush for hairline accuracy
• Flexible bristles let you vary line thickness
• Consistent ink flow avoids patchy strokes

Will this liner hold up all day without smudging or flaking?

The formula is engineered to dry to a matte finish that resists smearing and minimizes transfer. While individual wear varies with skin type and environment, the liner’s texture and pigment concentration are intended to remain intact for typical daily wear without noticeable flaking.

• Matte finish reduces unwanted shine and transfer
• Quick-drying for minimal running after application
• Long-wearing pigment designed to resist smudge and streaks

Is this product suitable for sensitive eyes and ethical shoppers?

Formulated without animal-derived ingredients, this product is labeled vegan and produced cruelty-free, meeting the needs of shoppers who prefer ethically made cosmetics. If you have specific sensitivities, check ingredient lists and patch-test; the product is not presented as hypoallergenic in materials provided.

• Vegan formula—no animal-derived ingredients
• Cruelty-free brand practices
• Designed for everyday cosmetic wear, not medical use

How should I apply and care for the liner to get the best results?

Begin by shaking the tube with the cap securely on to mix the pigment evenly. Use gentle, steady strokes starting at the inner lashline and work outward; for wings, anchor the tip and sweep upward. Recap tightly after use to prevent drying, and store upright in a cool place.

• Always shake well with cap closed before application
• Apply thin strokes first; layer for intensity
• Close cap fully to preserve the brush and formula

It’s well suited for travel-ready routines and everyday looks where a smudge-resistant matte line is preferred.
