Reviews mention

  • Effortless, intuitive application
  • Natural, dewy finishes
  • Compliment-magnet fragrance
  • Chic, memorable packaging
  • Sheer, low coverage base
  • Inconsistent pigment payoff
  • Fragrance longevity concerns
  • Fussy, fragile packaging

Glossier delivers a polished “no-makeup makeup” look, say reviews, with standouts like Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, Stretch Concealer, and the wildly complimented Glossier You perfume; however, skincare feels basic to many and several formulas or shade ranges, pigment, and longevity draw criticism. Reviews praise easy application, natural finishes, cute packaging, and store experiences, but note issues such as reformulations (especially Balm Dotcom and You), light coverage, packaging flaws, and inconsistent product hits, making it a brand best for minimal, effortless looks rather than full coverage.

  • Not the greatest fan of the cloud paint blush as it applies slightly streaky and looks oily if not set with powder, however, colors are nice

  • Doesn't live up to the hype. The concealers are on the bottom end of ones I've tried, both in coverage and durability. It also settles into your lines and creases to make you look older. The colors in their eyeliner and lipsticks are weak and hardly noticeable. Very little pigment. Even the perfume doesn't last very long, although it smells great when you first put it on. All in all, performance-wise, this cosmetic line is mediocre, at best. They are quick to ship and package it nicely, and have good customer service---so those are all pluses. But I've had better luck with products from drugstores than with Glossier.

  • I genuinely love this company. I find their products to be a great price point, cute packaging, and good quality. Unfortunately every lipstick I’ve ever had, the top has always cracked and eventually broken before I’ve even used half of the product :( so I hope they can get their packaging tweaked a bit. Other than that- their customer service is awesome. Super responsive and friendly!

  • I love the glossier perfume, hands down get so many compliments when I wear it!

  • I absolutely adore Glossier! Their products are designed so beautifully, and their makeup is stunning. It's definitely low-impact makeup, it's not ULTRA pigmented, or meant for heavy makeup days, but it's so great for a light look. It's so pretty, and everything feels really lovely when you use it. I would definitely rebuy. It is a bit more expensive than a budget makeup line, but definitely worth it.

  • Truly great products. Loving the cloud paint extensions.

  • I've been using various glossier products on and off since 2016. In this time I think the quality of the products has steadily declined, especially in their makeup products. I find them to be patchy, dry up quickly in the tube/packaging, and do not wear very long on my skin. This can be okay for people who want a very faint makeup look, but just doesn't quite work for me anymore. The skin care has never been very effective on my acne-prone sensitive skin, but it may be good for someone who does not have major skin concerns.

  • This scent is so fulfilling. I love the way it creates a uniquely me presence and it's light nature is irresistible. I always get compliments when I'm wearing it!!

  • I have been using Boy Brow for several years now, it truly is the best eyebrow mousse! I have dark blond hair and use the Blonde color. I keep my brows full and natural looking - Boy Brow holds the hair in place, but does not feel crunchy. The tiny brush prevents you from smearing product on your skin. I will note that it comes in a TINY little tube, so I end up using it up in 3-4 months with daily use. I have not had any issues with the product drying up in this time period, but it will dry up around 7-8 months. I use Perfecting Skin Tint in G12 - the second lightest shade. This product is VERY sheer - probably the sheerest tint on the market. I'd only recommend it if you already have very nice skin, and just want the tiniest amount of coverage to even out tone and to leave a natural finish. It feels nice and light on the skin, neither drying or moisturizing. I like the bottle it comes in - very easy to dispense, without dripping out too much product at a time. I do feel like it is very overpriced, but I have not found a good "dupe" for this yet.

  • Love SKIN IS IN. Products feel a little watered down in the past, but appreciate their ever-testing ethos. Boy brown and Brow flick is BIBLE.

  • Eu amei , o visso que deixou é incrível, ótimo produto ,gostaria de comprar mais vezes ❤️

    Friends with Glossier
  • It’s okay! I liked the packaging. The lipglosses quality was ok.

  • Love the cloud paint and a few other products. Not a huge fan of their scent but love how they listen to their community.

  • I love Glossier overall aesthetic and quality of products. I tested their Cloud paint cheek color and love it. Makes for a super elegant and natural look.

  • I love all things Glossier. I just tried the stretch concealer, I was afraid of the word “stretch” but what it does is eliminates lines and lasts all day. Thumbs UP

  • Tried a few things from Glossier but my favorite has to be the stretch concealer. It melts so nicely into the skin but still covers up my eye bags. I like the cloud paint too but it is pigmented, so a little goes a long way.

  • Best skin care I have ever tried, my skin is glowing after using it

  • I have used some of their skincare products, like the milky jelly cleanser, which was gentle to my skin. Not super outstanding, but the packaging is cute and youthful. The other products are not too expensive and seem to be very popular with minimalist beauty advocates. I also like their balm dot com lip gloss, which comes in different scents and tints.

  • lovely branding and excellent customer service!

  • I love the cheek stain and the mascara, but I want to particularly call out the mascara and what has changed in the last year, around the time they launched in Sephora.There is barely any mascara in the tube. I purchased TWO diff tubes both were almost dried out and nothing on the brush. I have seen a lot of mentions about this. It’s a shame. I do hope they realize this and rectify it because I really do like the brand. I know times are tough but it’s cheap to do it so drastically.
