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.

  • I use a lot of cleansers, and Glossier’s milky jelly cleanser is one of the more gentle ones that I turn to when my skin flares up. I have varying skin conditions from using retinol, and sometimes from cystic acne.

  • Glossier’s Lip Gloss is a game-changer for anyone who loves a natural, effortless look. It delivers just the right amount of glossy shine without being sticky or heavy. The formula feels hydrating and comfortable, leaving your lips soft and smooth all day long.

  • The milky jelly cleanser is my recent favorite face wash! It is gentle and nourishing for my sensitive skin. It is also affordable and make for a great gift!

  • I have several Glossier products -I love their skincare, colored makeup, not so much. Their skincare is very well formulated, they feel great on my skin and the cleanser, serum and moisturizer I have used are fragrance free so they did not irritate my skin. The eyeshadow I tried was a little patchy and not very pigmented, which was a shame because the light purple shade looks so pretty in the pan. I will continue to purchase their skincare and watch out for updates about their makeup reformulation.

  • I love this brand so much because all of their products are really good quality. I love how they all usually smell really good or feel good on the skin. I love using their clear gel sunscreen on my face every day it applies really nicely.

  • Who amongst us doesn't have the iconic pink plastic bag? Simple and straightforward skincare products for both sexes. Their stores are always so Instagram photo op friendly as well. My favorite is the cleanser.

  • Boy Brow has been a staple in my makeup routine forever. I mean, I don't have much to say about it that hasn't already been said except that it's a fan favorite for a reason. I have it in brown for when I want to enhance my brows a bit, and also clear for when I mostly just want to shape them but without the added pigment.

  • Glossier is such a good product. I remember using these when I first started out learning about make up. I especially love the perfume sense and anytime I take out my old smells they take me back to the good days

  • Cool packaging, great formulations and lots of vegan/cruelty free products. The cosmetics I have tried have all been top notch. I want to try the fragrances next. They understand the desire for minimal, subtle, high quality makeup.

  • Love the Glossier Cloud Paint! The color payoff is intense and a little goes a long way. There is a good assortment of colors to match any skin tone and makeup style too! This is a high quality product that's one of my new favorites!

  • I have been a long time fan of this brand, but I have noticed recently that the quality of some of the products has gotten worse. I repurchased the mascara and it became dried out within a month of using. I still love many of their other products - the "you" scent, boy brow, etc., and hope I just got unlucky!

  • BEST LIP GLOSS EVER! They really have high quality products and I’m confident that I will be buying from them for a long time. They have great products over all, great perfume and makeup as well. Highly recommend!

  • I fell in love with Glossier when I visited one of their stores in Washington, DC. Their products are reasonably priced and effective. I'm a huge fan of their milky jelly cleanser and want to try their brow products next.

  • I have tried their blush, and it’s just very natural and easy to use. The fact that this brand is clean and also have a really good price point. I would definitely recommend this.

  • I absolutely love this cleanser. It is so easy to use and seems to completely remove all makeup and impurities. It smells amazing, too. I can always trust Glossier to put out the best products. Highly recommend!

  • The brand has some hero products for sure. The boy brow is top quality and comes in nice shades, but the Balm.com is the best lip blam out there. I have it in 7 different flavors and each are true to the scent and just lovely flattering shades for all skin tones. Super moisturizing and I can't ever be without one!

  • Have tried a variety of products with mixed reviews. Some of the beauty products like the cloud paint, while innovative, are not standout. However, the moisturizers and face creams are super nice and make my skin very soft

  • I like a glossier make up up, its easy and look natural. as a person that does not wear a lot of make up i like the way their makeup looks
