Reviews mention

  • Effortless, natural finishes
  • Compliment‑magnet fragrance
  • Long‑lasting brow gel
  • Buildable, seamless blush
  • Sheer coverage complexion
  • Inconsistent scent longevity
  • Fussy, fragile packaging
  • Limited shade inclusivity

Glossier earns praise in reviews for effortless, “no‑makeup makeup” staples—Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, Stretch Concealer, and the cult Glossier You fragrance—delivering natural, dewy finishes that draw constant compliments. Reviews also flag weaknesses: very sheer coverage, mixed skincare efficacy, packaging hiccups (leaking tubes, fragile caps), limited shade inclusivity, and scent or longevity concerns with You and some eye products; several note reformulations that feel less hydrating or shorter‑wearing.

  • I love this brand. By far the best rye and eyebrow products i’ve used for a natural look.

    Feedback

    Wish they had more brick and mortar stores!

  • Own the skin tint, cloud paint blush, and concealer. Loved every single product as they provided the perfect amount of elevation to my natural self. My favorite product is the cloud paint as I've had it for about 5 years now and is still my favorite blush out of my collection. The blush compliments all skin tones and is perfectly pigmented and never patchy. The concealer and skin tint don't offer much coverage, but rather awaken my skin to feel brighter and more even.

    Feedback

    I would recommend using a little bit of powder when using the skin tint as it feels greasy by the end of the day.

  • The best mascara in.the.world.

    Feedback

    They discontinue some products often, so if you love something that's not a basic, buy 2!

  • The packaging is incredible and fun. I love the balm dot com! And the glosses!

    Feedback

    Maybe updating packaging and keeping current would be beneficial

  • I ordered two balm dot coms & a mascara! The balm dot com is a go to gift idea for me- I give them out for birthdays and special occasions! The mascara was pretty good, but the best part is the wand! I ran out of my last Glossier mascara, but cleaned out the container & wand and use it to brush out my eyelashes!

  • I’ve been using Glossier for more than 5 years. Favorites are the brow gel, cloud paint, and matte lipstick. Shades are diverse and packaging is very thoughtful. It’s affordable and high quality.

    It’s currently only available through their website. Look forward to it expanding to stores.

  • I love the products! They work great and I’ve never had any issues what so ever.

  • Had a more dewy moisturizer from them I absolutely loved, it was kind of slimy feeling but great once it sunk into skin!

  • I first found out about this brand by one of my old roommates in college. She would always smell SO DANG GOOD. She told me she uses glossier, the perfume and the rub on perfume. She told me that it smells different on everyone as it brings out your natural scent. I was very intrigued so despite the expensive price for the perfume, I went ahead and purchased it. My money was well spent with this perfume! I do agree that it did smell a little different than what I remember it smelling like when my roommate had it but thats the beauty of this product. Its very light but also vibrant in a way. I always receive compliments when I wear it too! 10/10 purchase

    The only thing that i think needs improvement is the price of the small bottle of perfume.

  • I love their foundation but I wish it had more coverage. Overall the viscosity and texture is really good. I found the perfect shade match

  • This is is one of my favorite brand. The products does exactly what they say it would do, no lie. I recommend this brand, and every product.

  • Glossier offers accessible easy-to-use skincare essentials and makeup products. Primarily focused on providing skincare the brand is perfect for people with an interest in beauty whilst retaining a natural look. I have purchased Glossier products both online and in-store; I was impressed by the clear labelling and information provided on both occasions.

  • I really enjoy these products. I think they have a very light easy feel to them. I don't think they are all particularly amazing, but they have a consistency to them I enjoy.

    Feedback

    I think having a better skin care line up can go along way. American beauty products just don't do a good job of explaining why a specific ingredient can be good for your skin and that's a real lack.

  • I have used the priming moisturiser, rose water jelly cleanser and balm dot com. Can't say that I am a fan of the cleanser but the moisturiser and lip balm were fantastic. A little on the expensive side for drugstore quality products but the branding of Glossier is unparalleled.

    Feedback

    Quality of products overall. Unfortunately, there are far superior products out there at a fairer price.

  • Absolutely wonderful! Feels so clean, truly a "further you're wearing makeup" kind of makeup. I particularly love their lip balms!

  • The brow gel and lip balm are absolutely go to’s for me, the quality is great!!

    Feedback

    We don’t need a plastic travel bag with every order, I think this is slightly wasteful

  • I regularly buy Glossier makeup, and have loved almost everything I’ve tried. I particularly love the Lash Slick mascara, because I like a drier formula that enhances every lash. I use the Lavender Balm Dotcom as my daily lip moisturizer. The Cloud Paint blush is beautiful, and you only need a tiny amount to get a lot of pigment.

    Feedback

    The formula for Boy Brow could be improved. I use this daily, and always find it difficult to apply. It dries out quickly and because a little clumpy, and I always have to run a clean brow wand over it to remove the clumps. I do wish they offered more frequent sales.

  • Honestly this brand is great. I'm 30 and my holy grail concealer, lip balm, perfume, blush and brow gel all come from Glossier, despite being a real makeup love and trying dozens of other brands. Can't help it, they just work the best for me, my skin and desired look. Not to mention I've been stopped at least 5 times by random strangers asking what perfume I'm wearing.

    Feedback

    Not much, to be honest. Brand is pretty perfect. Would love to see a lipliner.

  • Their products are always hit-or-miss for me. I don’t think most of the skincare is worth the money- it’s good, but you can get the same thing for cheaper at other brands. Their mascara, Boy Brow, and Cloudpaint are all-time favorites of mine, but the brow pen dried out extremely quickly and the concealer was oily, even for my dry skin. The products that work well are 100% worth the money and are perfect for a natural look, but other things are comparable to drugstore products in terms of quality.

    Feedback

    Quality control across products, offering more sales/lower prices (even when they drastically cut down on packaging, which is great, prices stayed the same), and more colorful options! Bring back Play!!

  • The “no makeup, makeup look” really describes it will. I have 3 of the lidstar liquid eye highlighter and I love them, they are subtle color, though you can layer to get more. I’ve purchased their mascara 3 times, which is a record for me. It’s very natural and hugely important to me, not clumpy AT ALL. But if you are looking for a majorly dramatic mascara it’s not for you, it’s subtle accentuation. I also have the “boy brow” which is almost like mascara for the eyebrows. I have very fine, pale eyebrows and have tried tons of products. This one is my favorite because it looks natural, it just accentuates what’s there and is not very noticeable unless you get very heavy in application, which you can.

    The mascara starts to dry out in the tube a little more quickly than I would like.
