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.

  • Used the balm dotcom. It was okay, like the design (that it is a tube), but sand and dirt from the bag are freaking under the closed cap of the tube with time. Balm itself is nice, no complaint.

  • Glossier is one of my favorite clean girl aesthetic brands. The cult items are cult for a reason. Personally I love the balm dot com, boy brow, and mascara. I love the option of bundling items for a discount and I find they are a nice happy medium between high-end brands and drugstore.

    Feedback

    I would love if the balm dot come came with a different kind of packaging. Having to scoop the product off with a finger and apply doesn’t make for the most sanitary application - especially on the go.

  • I have tried quite a few of their products. I love the light coverage and soft glowy finish most products provide.

    Feedback

    I’m not a huge fan of their skincare line.

  • I’ve used their milky cleanser and BHA toner for years now and keep going back! The products are clean and leave my skin feeling refreshed. Also a huge fan of their cloud paint and brow boy!

  • Glossier is one of the brands I use most on an everyday basis. I love certain products and use them daily - the stretch concealer, you perfume, cloud paint, but some other products are a pass for me in terms of quality and price point. I love their minimal (pink!!) branding, but it would not personally be worth it for just cute packaging.

    Feedback

    Certain products, especially their skincare line, are not particularly effective, so I'd love to see a reformulation for those.

  • I’ve been using glossier for 2 years now. I love the lip balms, the fragrance solid is a must and their lipsticks. The products last so long and make it completely worth the money.

  • I love the milky cleanser and the shiny serum! It makes my skin feel super hydrated.

    Feedback

    The cleanser has a smell that I don't love and the bronzer could be a little more pigmented.

  • I love love LOVE the Glossier You perfume. It is my signature sent and I have been committed for 3 years. I have tried the body oil and it was great, however it is not travel friendly because it leaks. The mascara is iffy I have noticed the tub drys up super fast.

    Feedback

    More travel friendly, packaging, and a roller bottle of the You perfume. I would also love to see a recycle program!

  • I’ve used some products that I love and others that were not worth it. I love the cloud paint creme blush, their balm dot com and their lipsticks feel very smooth. Not so happy about boy brow which was eh, you can get better brow products for way cheaper.

    Feedback

    The prices for some basic products are quite high.

  • I have multiple glossier products and I’m happy with all of them.

    Feedback

    I like that the makeup isn’t overly heavy, and allows for your natural features to be enhanced rather than changed.

  • Glossier products make very good gifts as their minimalistic products appeal to a wide range of people and feel luxurious. A few staples in my collection include their fragrance, the Balm Dot Com, and their Body Hero Dry Touch Oil Spray.

    Feedback

    The price point for some of their makeup, including the skin tint and concealer is a bit high for the quantity of product. Their fragrance and body care line is worth the price in my opinion.

  • Cool branding, but for the price it’s not great. The makeup doesn’t last and the skincare is drying.

    Feedback

    More pigment in makeup and more focus on hydration in skincare.

  • Love the perfume and makeup, the skincare wasn't my favorite.

    Feedback

    Skincare could be better quality.

  • I think the brand is great and the products create a nice subtle beauty. The packaging is trendy and they started somewhat of a beauty revolution.

    Feedback

    I don’t like that their products aren’t “clean.” Natural beauty looks and “clean” typically go hand in hand and I think they lose customers that way. I would rather use Kosas.

  • Love the setting spray and eye brow color! I will be repurchasing them!

  • My partner complains that my skin routine at night takes too long, but that's because I'm having a blast taking my time to enjoy all the Glossier products! I have tried all 3 serums - Super Pure is the best IMO - and I have a few moisturizers that I love as well. Glossier You is my new fragrance of choice.

    Feedback

    Shipping was very slow.

  • Glossier's perfume "You" was my go-to scent for years. I have purchased three bottles and keep going back for more. I do not wear makeup but use Boy Brow every single day. I struggle with foundation matching so I loved utilizing Glossier's G-Team, who will match your foundation tone if you email them a selfie!

  • I am a total sucker for anything Glossier puts out because I love it all. My favorite products are: the perfume, the balm, the mascara, the lidstar eyeshadows, and the boy brow, each of which I use every single day.

  • Appreciate the minimalist approach. Wasn’t blown away by the products.

  • It was really just ok. If glossiers prices where better this is would have been a 4/5. I payed 16 dollars for a balm dot calm tube that wasn’t even that great. it can be used on the cuticles which felt very nice but did nothing. maybes it’s my skin but overall not that great.

    could definitely use a price change, and a better formula.
