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.

Boy Brow - I swear by this product. If Boy Brow has zero fans I am dead. My brows stay put, look great, and when it's time to wash it off it comes off easily. Glossier You - even against more expensive perfumes, there's something that keeps me coming back to Glossier You. It's fresh, it's comforting, and more affordable than similar scents.
I have been using Glossier for years. I LOVE their products. I have a variety of makeup and their make up remover. I am a huge fan of their boy brow, which I have used in brown and clear. The brand and packaging is so fun. I was able to visit the store in LA and it was definitely an experience! Also love that the prices are affordable.
i tested some of their eye products and did not find them super monolid friendly. product transferred quite easily to my under eyes and would smudge on the top of my lid. i do enjoy their lip products but wish their eye products weren’t super oily.
When this brand first landed, it was the only thing that my daughter would buy (she was 13 at the time). Now three years later, she feels that the product does not live up to the hype. She is also more conscientious about her skincare routine, so feels that the products are more trendy than good for you. The products are slightly more than I would pay for a 'trendy' makeup item.
I love this skin tint I just wish it was more full coverage and that they had a more diverse shade range
Glossier is my new favorite cosmetic brand. Not gonna lie-I was skeptical about trying both their refillable deodorant and Balm Dot Coms but thank the lord I did. Their deodorant is the best deodorant I have ever tried; it lasts ALL DAY, smells incredible, and is sustainable due to its refillable nature. Their bday balm is delicious-same with their rose one. They should improve the mint one by making it come out in a lipgloss tube rather than just a regular tube.

Glossier is great but not mindblowing — their stuff is straightforward, easy to use, just the right amount of frills. I really like their boy brow (probably their most popular product) and their You perfume. I'm a fan but not a die-hard one.
While I love Glossier's packaging I don't find my self gravitating towards their products these days. I like their makeup better than their skincare but find that sometimes it doesn't last throughout the day as much as I'd like
Been a fan of these guys since before the brand launched. Love it slightly less now that they dropped the fun stickers and also now that I’m much more educated about ingredients etc.
Everyone and their mother has tried this brand at this point so I'm not sure what this review will add, but I will mostly just say that I find Glossier increasingly irrelevant and uninspiring. The Boy Brow will always be great, and the lip balm (in cherry) is one of my winter go-tos. Other than that I find most of the products unremarkable, marketing-over-substance, and attempting to fix problems that don't really exist. Definitely not eco-friendly.
I used to be a huge fan and my rating has gone down in the last 6 years. I have never tried the skincare so I'll start with that. I used to love the perfume, Glossier You, but then they changed the formula and it just is not as good. There are a few makeup products that I love- CloudPaint and the Balm Dot Com.
Absolutely love the perfume it’s my favorite product!
I have had mostly good experiences with Glossier and have tried so many products from them. I love their liquid eye shadow and lip glosses especially. My only issue I’ve had is the face serums make me breakout, but I do have very sensitive skin.

Consider marking of your items are noncomedogenic and if they aren’t, if it’s possible to make them.
Absolutely my favorite makeup and skincare brand! As someone who prefers the no-makeup-makeup-look, this brand nails that. I haven’t tried anything that I didn’t love but I use the balm dot com, the boy brow, and the cloud paint practically every day! Also one of the best customer service teams I have ever interacted with.
I've used many of Glossier's products, including the Milky Jelly cleanser, You fragrance, Balm.Com, etc. All of them are pretty great, but I feel like now there are so many other better options on the market I would go to first before going to Glossier. They are on the more expensive side, and as I've gotten older, they've felt younger and younger. Going to the LA store I was surrounded by teenagers, which is fine, but definitely not in line with their campaigns featuring people of all ages using their products.
Feedback
The You fragrance definitely smells different on other people, and may not always be pleasant. On my friends, it smelled really great and fresh, but when I tried it, we were all laughing and baffled because it just smelled like paper on me. Truly, fresh paper out of the printer smell. I would also say their products are on the more expensive side, and there are others out there that work just as good or better at a more affordable price. Feels like a lifestyle brand more than a genuine good products brand.
The branding and aesthetic are what drew me to follow the brand on social media as the skincare industry is so saturated.
Feedback
There needs to be more shade offerings and their scents don't last long after a few spritzs. It feels like they're charging customers based on hype and drops, which is part of the equation for attracting new and current customers, but that can't be all of a brand's DNA.
Standard quality make up and skin care, with chic packaging. Their balm dotcom is fancy vaseline... that I do love and prefer to regular vaseline. Their cloud paint blush is highly pigmented and last FOREVER (if you have tips on how I can use mine up dm me, it is a never ending tube). Their mascara creates a very clean "no makeup" look. Their body oil is really nice. Very hydrating and absorbs quickly. Their exfoliating bar does what it says it will. Is it worth the price? I personally won't be repurchasing. But I am glad I tried them.

The biggest obstacle for me is having to buy their product on their website. I hate having to pay for shipping for such small and low cost items. I wish there were more options to buy their products in person. I think Sephora may stock them soon.....
Skin care products are just okay, makeup products are affordable
I've tried the Glossier Futuredew. I love the look of the bottle! And really appreciate the ingredients: Jojoba, Grape Seed, Evening Primrose, and Rosehip Oils are suspended in a water-in-oil emulsionEvodia Rutaecarpa Extract: Fruit extract to visibly increase brightness. Sugarcane Squalane: 100% plant-based ingredient that helps lock in moisture. Light-Reflecting Minerals: Gives all skin tones an immediate glow that lasts all day.

I thought it was a tad sticky on my skin. That's all I did not like.

I've tried a ton of Glossier products. Overall I think they're nice! My brow gel lasted me a while, and the milky jelly cleanser definitely saved my skin. It's inclusive in branding and simple in message. Price points are fairly high though for very small sized products.

Don't send me a poster and a fancy box when I make an order. Branding is important, but sustainability is more important, and I definitely don't need a folded up poster of a retouched model's face.
