Glossier reviews and discussion

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.

  • Slow delivery to Canada, but some great products. Lash slick mascara: no clumping, zero smudging ( and I always get smudging) and long natural looking lashes. Boy brow: cult fav for a reason Cloud paint: best blush ever , sheer and blends well Balm.com: great for all dry spots

    Less great products : Perfecting skin tint: barely-there evening effect. Not worth close to $50 Brow flick : meh

  • I've used their products for awhile. I've purchased because of the strength of the brand and many of their testimonials, both paid and unpaid.

    I've found products lately (like Merit) that are higher quality for the same price point. I'm 26, and I feel like Glossier has developed into a brand made for a younger age group.

  • Have been following the growth of glossier for most of my teen years into my adulthood, it is crazy to see the lengths which they have grown and improved!

    Overall Glossier products are good, you just know the price you are getting into. If you can sacrifice a bit of coin, you will feel the most luxurious with just simple products. A few items I can interchange with cheaper dupes, but some things you just have to get straight from the source.

  • Love the whole brand experience, especially in-store

    Makeup products are not as good, lots of packaging that isn't necessary

  • The go to for no makeup makeup Cloud Paint: Its so pigmented that it takes a while to learn how much product to use. Easy to build and blend into the skin. The colors can be layered or mixed to customize Balm Dot Com: Vaseline like, not necessarily moisturizing, but it does add a nice hint of color to you lips or skin. You Perfume: I’m on my second bottle, it’s my everyday scent. I always get compliments on it. It’s light and pretty Boy Brow: I like it better after it dries out a bit. A solid tinted brown gel with great pigment

    The packaging, specifically the shipping, could be a little more sustainable

  • The lip colors are classic. Love them. Everyone adores the brow but it's not my favorite - I need a bit more volume.

  • I love their creamy cloud paint. The colors that I have tried always look beautiful on me, no matter the season and skin tone.

    Feedback

    I wish they had more colors.

  • Boybrow and Milky Jelly Cleanser are both fantastic.

    Feedback

    Wasn't a huge fan of the eyeshadow.

  • I am a HUGE fan of Glossier. I've loved almost every product I've tried from this brand, but would most highly recommend their Boy Brow, Balm Dot Com, Zit Stick and Highlighter.

  • I didn’t know how much of Glossier’s success was just hype when I first bought from them. But I’ve been really impressed. I love the Cloud Paint blushers, they’re so pretty and natural looking and last ages. I also like Boy Brow as it makes it super easy to polish up your brows in seconds.

    Feedback

    The design rubbed off the packaging pretty quickly. And the plastic zip bag seemed unnecessary.

  • These all smell amazing and don’t break the bank

  • I’ve been pretty happy with all the Glossier products I’ve tried: mascara, eye brow gel, and various lip products. I do enjoy their simple packaging and I honestly feel like most of the products do live up to the hype. But, the milk jelly cleanser dries my skin out and causes acne so I reccomend skipping that if you have acne prone skin.

  • I've been on the hunt for the perfect mascara that gives me natural, fluttery lashes without clumping or smudging—enter Glossier Lash Slick. 🌟 This little pink tube has become my ultimate lash companion, and I just had to share it with you all! It defines, lengthens, and enhances my lashes in such a subtle yet stunning way. Plus, it's water-resistant but still easy to remove at the end of the day. Perfect for those no-makeup makeup days or when you want your eyes to do all the talking.

  • its the best! this is for the days you want to look cute but don't want to go through a lot of effort. it highlights your natural beauty.

  • Love the mission of the company and the variety of clean and natural products. I have loved their lip products since the start of the brand. would recommend to others.

  • As many marketers feel, I am completely and utterly obsessed with the persona Glossier has cultivated throughout the marketplace. I love their use of representation, the pops of irresistible color and the simplicity of their products and messaging. I've tried so many things here it's hard to start, but I'll breakdown what was and wasn't worth the purchase: Perfume -- was utterly obsessed with the pocket-size perfume solid, smelt like a dream. I figured it was a no brainer to upgrade to the bottled liquid. I was sadly wrong. The smell was so far off and reminds me of bug spray. This was a sad disappointment as I was so impressed at first. Balm dot com - love the color and gloss it brings to my lips, but found it to be a bit irritating as someone with sensitive skin. a potential watch-out. milky jelly cleanser & daily perfecting cream - safe for my sensitive skin and feels clean and kind!

  • After I started using their exfoliating serum, I swear I have never had a bad breakout since. I used to get awful patches of breakouts, and this serum has just completely made that a thing of the past.

  • Love love Glossier! The cloud pain cheek colour and the boy brow have been my beauty staples for years. I always go back to using them. Both are extremely long lasting and high quality, love that they are so affordable too. Highly recommend! Prefer their makeup over skincare for sure.

  • I honestly love their stuff. but cant help but feel its marked up cetaphil

  • Used to be great but since they went into Sephora so many of their classic products (balm dotcom, priming moisturizer thick, glossier you perfume) have taken a turn for worse.
