 Hey guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. For today's video, I am going to be doing a quick new mascara comparison between two of the most recent popular mascaras to have launched. We have the Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Universal Mascara. And then we have the Patrick Tau Major Volume Mascara. A lot of mascaras have seen to come out lately. I have a lot that are in my pile to eventually try. These were definitely the most popular and I ended up getting a lot of questions about which one is better. So that's what we're going to cover today. If you want to see that, then just keep watching. Hi guys, if you're new here, my name is Morgan. I am a product knowledge enthusiast. I just love knowing anything and everything about all the new makeup on the market, sharing my thoughts with you guys. And these are two brands that I am very interested and frequently cover on my channel. Full transparency. Both of these were sent to me in PR, but I'm just a little fish in a big sea. So obviously I'm going to be 100% honest with you guys on my thoughts. I did in a recent live actually test both of these side by side. However, it cut off. So I figured I'll just do a whole dedicated video on this because you guys did want to know which one was better or not. For a while, I've stayed away from mascara reviews as I have very, very short thin sparse lashes. And I just feel like my mascara reviews aren't with everybody else's who have better lashes in mind. Normally I can't give very good visuals because I'm not working with much. But so many of you guys have reached out that you have similar lashes to mine, so you wanted to know my thoughts. So while visually you might not be able to see, keep in mind it's not the mascara, it's my eyes. But anyways, let's get started. I've tested both of these mascaras thoroughly and both of the kind of videos where I featured them. They were brand new to me. I've had these both for about a week now. I've been testing them every day and they're a little bit more dried out now and used. So now I feel definitely comfortable at giving you guys my thoughts. And let's take a look at both of the mascaras first and foremost. So we are going to start off with the Rare Beauty mascara. This is $20 and it comes in the simple minimalistic kind of packaging. It is made in Italy and has 0.45 fluid ounces. Now the big marketing behind this one is that it's made for every single lash. Their claims for it are that it is volumizing, curling, lengthening and long wearing. Pretty much everything you want in a mascara. Let's take a look at the wand here. This is what it is going to look like. Hopefully we can get a good focus on that. It's a pretty fat mascara wand. So for somebody like me who has short lashes, especially on my lower lashes, I do have a hard time with the size of this wand. Let's take a look at the Patrick Till Major Volume Mascara now. This one is $29. So it is about a third of the price more. An additional $9. So this one is more expensive and mascaras are something honestly that you can get at the drugstore, you know? So the packaging is in line with the rest of his line. Absolutely beautiful. Let's take a look at the wand here. They have similar style of wands and let me just put them side by side for you to see. I noticed more product clumping up on the Rare Beauty wand. Can you see that? But they are quite similar in size. But the amount of product that goes onto the wand is really what is varying here. There's a slight more of an hourglass shape on the Rare Beauty mascara. But yeah, both of them have big wands. Now the claim of the Patrick Till, let me go over to it, is that it's volumizing. It's an ultra dramatic mascara that maximizes your lashes. But they don't really claim that this is necessarily lengthening. This one is just supposed to provide volume. So we're going to take a closer look at this. But the claims are a bit different here. I'm going to curl my lashes with the refer lash curler just to make sure you guys can see. Now my lashes used to be much more sparse and short than this. So I do realize at this point I don't have the shortest and the most sparse lashes. But still there's not too much layering, you know. I have used a lot of new lash for the last few years. And that's really improved the length and volume of my natural lashes. My lashes can't keep a curl for the life of them. So they will fall with both mascaras. So keep that in mind. The Rare Beauty is not curling to my personal lash. But it's a personal problem. I haven't come across a single mascara that's not waterproof that holds a curl. So we're going to start off with the Rare Beauty mascara on this eye. Everything that I'm wearing since you guys are up close and personal right now will be linked in the description box. We're going to start off on the lower lashes. You're going to get an ugly view of my faces here. I already made a mess because if you have short lashes like myself down here, huge wand. Not very good. I'd reach to other wands for my lower lashes. So here's one coat. You can see it did out a little bit of length here. Let's do one coat up here. I have this pesky lash that literally goes down. Okay, so here is one coat. I mean, it looks really good right now. Not very volumizing, but it definitely did out a little bit of length. Let's go into the Patrick Taugh now. I do find that the bristles of the Patrick Taugh seem to be just a smidge longer, which makes it a little bit easier to reach my lower lashes. So this is slightly easier to apply, but very minuscule differences. So here's with one coat on my lower lashes. Let's do a coat up here. What do you think? I think that the Rare Beauty is holding the curl better. It does seem that the Patrick Taugh is a bit heavier. Honestly, with this first layer, I kind of prefer the Rare Beauty. They look very similar, but the Rare Beauty is giving me just a little bit more. So let's go in with the second coat. From my experience, these mascaras definitely change with the second coat. Let's start off with the Rare Beauty. Now that I have that first coat on, it's easier to build that second coat. This mascara is working better than I've ever used it before, honestly. It really is building the length like crazy. My lashes look a little spidery. This is the first time that I've experienced it with this mascara because previously I found that no matter how much I layered it on, it didn't get a little bit clumpy. We're starting to get to that point, but it really is building up length really nice. Let's do a second coat of the Patrick Taugh. All right, you guys, for me, the second coat, and this has been continuous with all of my other uses of this mascara. The second coat is what brings the magic of this mascara. I think it looks way less clumpy. It's definitely not as lengthening as the Rare Beauty. However, it didn't claim to be lengthening. My lashes look nice and full and black. While the Rare Beauty gave me length that I didn't have before, I prefer how the Patrick Taugh builds and I prefer how the Patrick Taugh looks. Going into this review, I knew I prefer the Patrick Taugh mascara. I think the Rare Beauty is a little bit more lightweight on the lashes. It's a little bit better for everyday wear and it does give that little bit of length. But in terms of me, as much as I like length, like I would prefer a lengthening mascara for my bottom, I really do enjoy the volume that the Patrick Taugh gives me and I feel like the Patrick Taugh builds a little bit better. That being said, both mascaras are really great with building. I'm going to do a third coat. Normally I wouldn't do a third coat, but for the sake of the review, I want to see if the Rare Beauty is going to start getting clumpy. Cause this is odd. I've never experienced the slight spider lashes that I'm getting here. The length though, but it's given me spiders and I haven't had that before with this. Mascaras change over time. I definitely prefer the application and the wand of the Patrick Taugh. You guys are getting really cute faces right now. You see how the Patrick Taugh is just building better. I still have each lash really defined and it's giving me that volume. The third coat is a little bit crazy. This is not what I would do for my everyday wear, but I did want to do a comparison for you so you can see which mascara would be best for you. My personal thoughts, if you already have long, big, full lashes to begin with, you just need a coat of mascara. I would recommend the Rare Beauty. If you're looking for volume and definition, I recommend the Patrick Taugh. Based on my preferences for my short lashes, I'm preferring Patrick Taugh. Even though I wish I had some more length with this, I just feel like the definition that it adds is so much more flattering to my lashes because I don't have the most lashes and it doesn't look really messy. Keep in mind lengthening mascaras on my sparse lashes because I don't have much to work with. It's very easy for mascaras to get spidery like this. So definition is a little bit more valuable to me because I have less hairs, if that makes sense. So there you go. Those are my comparisons of the two mascaras. Let me know which side you prefer three coats in. The Rare Beauty or the Patrick Taugh. I hope this video was helpful to you. By the way, as far as wear time, neither of these I've experienced flaking from, which is a problem with the type of mascaras that I like because I like them drier. They flake a lot. These two so far haven't flaked on me. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video and found it helpful. If you aren't subscribed to my channel already, I would love it if you would consider taking this time to do so. And I will see you all in the next one. I guys have a good one.
