Glossier impresses in reviews for delivering easy, natural-looking makeup—standouts include Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, and the much‑praised Glossier You fragrance—while drawing criticism for ultra‑sheer coverage, inconsistent longevity, and packaging flaws. Reviews say the brand is good for “no‑makeup makeup” days and everyday scent, but skincare feels basic and shade range and recent reformulations (You, Balm Dotcom) disappoint some users.

  • Glossier makes easy-to-use products for days when you want a no makeup look. Lash slick mascara and boy brow are my favorite products and I’ve had good luck with the milky gel cleanser too.

  • Glossier is a brand that I have consistently bought from for the past 4 years. Their products are perfect for a natural makeup look. When I wear my Glossier makeup products, my skin is left feeling light and glowing. I also am a fan of their perfume. It is a great stand alone sent for day to day, but it also layers really well with some of my more expensive perfumes. Overall, Glossier has become one of my top makeup and skincare brands.

  • I loved all the products that I tried. I will be recommending this brand to all of my people!

  • I have only used a lipstick from this line, but I have to say it was impressive. Maybe because I was expecting complete trash like most natural-ish make-up products I have tried out in the past. Psst.. ( there have been A LOT )! The product I used of theirs was a chubby, pencil looking lip tint. Think I got it in a boxie charm or birch box type service; ended up using the whole thing down to a nub. I'm a super pale chick in her early 40's. The shade was very flattering with my complexion. It also had a nice velvety consistency that stayed put and lasted a surprisingly long time. The wear off was also flattering, it complemented my skin tone so well, didn't get that blow- up doll smile. Conclusion: After using only one product in their vast line, It was a solid 2 thumbs up from this picky make-up monster! The product actually did what it claimed it could do, which in my own personal experience, is a rarity these days. If you're on the fence about ordering from this company, gone an' give em' the ol' college try, you most likely won't be disappointed.

  • I loved the shopping experience, the store was amazing, branding too but unfortunatelly once I used the product daily I was really dissapointed, they definetely need to improve the formula of "Boy Brow" because it wasn't resistant at all, also that brush was not helping.

  • i’m absolutely obsessed with the glossier boy brown in clear! I use it literally everyday & it’s doesn’t flake like many i’ve tried before.

  • I have 1 of the cloud paints, I have loved it so far and want to continue to try more things from this brand.

  • The perfume is one of my favorites! Loved the balms also until the formula changed I find now they aren’t as hydrating.

  • This review is for Glossier You the fragrance which I am obsessed with. If you like clean girl aesthetic skin scents that are universally appealing you will love this. I always get compliments when I wear this and love how it smells. I have both the spray and solid versions. The packaging is beautiful for both. My only complaint about the solid fragrance is it is quite heavy if you want to carry it in your purse but the quality of the packaging is beautiful.

  • All of the products have been very gentle on my sensitive skin.

  • While I've tried a couple of products that haven't been for me, many of them have become a part of my daily routine. Boy brow and their concealer in particular are non-negotiable for me. I've also had nothing but positive experiences with their customer service. My most recent order somehow got stuck in the USPS system, and Glossier sent out a new order, at no cost to me, on the same day I reached out about the issue.

  • Late to the Generation G game, but loving Cake at the moment <3 amazing subtle peachy matte without overdoing it.

  • The products are very hit-or-miss for me. I have tried a wide range of them. The packaging is great, but I often didn't feel like the product was worth the price. The make-up tends to not last very long during the day. I think the only products I would consider re-purchasing is the sunscreen and perfume. I think you are really buying the "experience" and exclusivity glossier has created when you buy the products.

  • i've only tried their cloud paint blush and i'm obsessed with everything about it. the color (storm) is perfect and i love how easy it is to blend and build the pigment! i tested their perfume while at the la store and regret not going back to get it because it wore so beautifully on me throughout the day! i'm definitely a fan and am excited to try more of their products

  • I have such a hard time finding perfumes that I actually like enough to wear because there’s always something about every scent I try that I don’t like. But when I tried Glossier You, I loved it so much I couldn’t stop smelling it on myself. It’s absolutely amazing! I always get compliments every single time I wear it, even at the end of the day when I can’t really smell it on myself anymore. This will forever be my absolute favorite perfume.

  • Very beautiful bottled design however I've been a bit sensitive to the ingredients.

  • I personally have tried their Lash Slick mascara and their perfume. LOVE the mascara as I prefer a wand with plastic or rubber bristles to separate my lashes. Not the best for volume, but great for a natural everyday look. The perfume is also absolutely amazing. Smells slightly different on everyone, lasts for a long time, and has a slightly sweet, slightly floral, and very unique smell to it. 10/10!

  • I love the glossier products! They are easy to use and have great packaging and simple instructions. Their perfume smells AMAZING and pairs so well with my everyday life. The toner was a little harsh on my skin, but I think it would get used to it over time and help with my texture.
