Rare Beauty recently dropped their Positive Light Luminizing Lip Gloss, and the shade Glimmer instantly caught my eye. I recently shared my first impressions on TikTok (linked below!), but I wanted to break it down here for anyone curious about how this gloss actually performs – from texture to wear.

Shade: Glimmer

Glimmer is a rose gold with champagne and rose gold pearl. It adds a touch of color and glow without being too bold. There’s a noticeable hint of pigment, but it’s not overwhelming – perfect for those who love a your-lips-but-better look with a glossy shimmer finish. This shade pairs beautifully with neutral-toned lip liners, but it also looks stunning on its own for a soft, fresh vibe.

Texture & Feel

The texture is slightly sticky, but not in a way that feels annoying or heavy. It feels hydrating both while wearing it and even after it fades.

Despite the shimmer, there’s no gritty feel, which is a major win. And if you’re someone who’s sensitive to strong scents and flavors – I’m happy to report there’s no noticeable taste or scent here.

Wear Time & Reapplication

I got a few hours of wear before I felt like I needed to reapply. As it fades, it leaves a soft shimmer behind, but not in a messy or uneven way – more like a subtle sparkle. If you’re wearing it throughout the day, I’d recommend keeping it in your bag for a quick refresh.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for a gloss that feels luxe, looks radiant, and layers beautifully, I definitely recommend checking out Glimmer. It’s perfect for everyday wear, or as a topper to compliment your favorite lipstick or liner combo. The finish is soft, shiny, and wearable — everything you’d expect from Rare Beauty.
