Glossier earns praise in reviews for effortless, natural-looking makeup—standouts include Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, Stretch Concealer, and the widely loved Glossier You fragrance—while feedback flags inconsistent skincare efficacy, very sheer coverage, limited shade inclusivity, and packaging or formula issues (drying mascaras, leaky balms, cracked lipstick caps). Reviews call the brand good for “no-makeup makeup” days and easy application, but note hit-or-miss products, reformulation concerns, and perfume longevity as weaknesses.

lovely shade of red, lasts forever. definitely need to layer with moisture before and after as it's pretty matte. seems like they have been rebranding lately, excited to see what their next step will be.

Could not live without this concealer. As someone who doesn’t use much concealer or foundation, this is a perfect way to add a few touches. My only complaint is that it’s small! Still, it provides a lot for under eye bags and tiredness cover ups.

I have never tried a glossier brush before but given the quality of their makeup products, I was eager to try this stretch face brush! Unfortunately, I wasn’t all that impressed. My face got scratched when it brushed up against the plastic packaging. Hairs are already falling out of the brush too. Don’t waste your money… or scratch your face!

I like most of Glossier's products (especially the cleansers) and their affordability (relative). However, the skin tint does absolutely nothing. It feels very nice, doesn't pile up in creases, spreads smoothly and evenly, but once it's on, there's 0 difference visibly. So I can't recommend this product specifically.

Glossier has been a long-time favorite in both skincare and makeup for me. I’ve tried a ton of their products over the years, and the standouts are their eyeliners for their formula and rich pigment, as well as Balm Dotcom for everyday use. I just picked up the Magnolia Bakery collab and the bag chain, and I’m hoping they keep the collabs coming. Their branding is on point, I still love the signature pink bubble wrap pouches, and the in-store experience feels fun and welcoming. All around, a brand I keep coming back to.

To be honest, I don’t really get the hype around this brand. I was gifted the future due oil serum hybrid, but I’m scared to use it because acne prone skin should not be using oil on their face because it clogs your pores.

I’ve searched far and wide for a replacement, but I always come back to boy brow. It gels your brows without getting crispy, and I like that it’s tinted. I just wish it was larger - it runs out fast for the price.

I’ve used the blush and bronzer, which basically have the same formulation (the blush is significantly more pigmented), and the finish is so natural but also adaptable to more glam looks. They are underrated products I believe everyone should have.

My first brand experience was in Glossier's Melrose Ave store in LA. What a dreamland for beauty aficionados. The packaging is girlie yet sexy, screaming "take me home" to me. I've tried the lip gloss and hand cream, and gifted the lip balm duo. Lovely little things that everyone needs to have at least one.

I’ve had the perfume- beautiful fresh musky and cool girl vibes. But the true queens are the bronzer and blush, the pigment is incomparable (Not even rare beauty) and if you only used it without any other makeup it would look completely natural.

I'm a long time user of the boy brow from Glossier. It's the perfect hybrid of a gel and a wax and is the finishing look for me and a non-negotiable in my routine. If I could only pick one product to have on before leaving the house, this would be it!

it's really good. I'd heard that people were really unhappy with the new formulation, but I really like it still. very well balanced and pretty long lasting. It also projects very nicely while not being too overpowering.

Don’t love glossier skincare but use the mascara every day! Both the brown and black are really nice. It’s the perfect wear to work mascara because it gives buildable coverage without getting chunky and clumping together. I don’t love the experience of going to the store now because it’s full of teens, but I order online.

I've been shopping with Glossier since the early days and have seen it go from being the "it girl" brand of the 2010s to something much less distinctive in the market. However, the products I've called out here have stood the test of time for me as the absolute easiest options to get ready with that I know I can trust. The Gen G lipstick in Fuzz is always in my bag because it goes with everything, and the Lidstar in Cub is what I use on 70% of the days I wear makeup. They're fantastic for a sheer wash of color that (at least on my skin) lasts most of the day and can basically be applied without looking in the mirror. Similarly, after trying every option under the sun, I always return to Balm Dotcom and Boy Brow because they are just foolproof. They may not be the only cool option anymore, but the products hold up and I'll continue buying them. PS - the solid perfume is overlooked as an amazing gift. The packaging is luxurious metal/magnetic and I love carrying it with me in my bag.

I always appreciating the marketing and creativity that Glossier brings, and their products are usually great too. I think they're not heavy duty as far as major coverage (from what I've used so far) but it suits my purposes well :) I also think the balm dot coms are great fun, with fun flavors to boot. The milky cleanser also smells like rasmalai and I'm obsessed with that.

Pretty good. It sometimes goes on a little bit too thick and can be a pain to even out without it going everywhere but that does not happen to ofter. When it works, it is great and gives my eyebrows a fullness!

The brown option is nice for a casual every day makeup look. If you are looking for a dramatic lash you will be disappointed but this is for just a little extra kiss of color and length. I have repurchased several times over the years now.

This blush is just plain fun to apply, and looks more natural than powder blush. The color is pigmented, so it doesn't take much product. You can start with a tiny dot and blend/layer from there. I love the paint tube packaging!

I really wanted to love the Glossier Neroli Body Oil — the packaging is gorgeous and the scent is soft and refreshing — but the formula just isn’t for me. It goes on thick and takes a long time to sink in, so instead of feeling moisturized, I end up feeling greasy and sticky. Even after giving it plenty of time, it still feels like it’s sitting on top of my skin rather than absorbing, which makes it uncomfortable to wear. I also find myself worrying about it staining my clothes or sheets if I don’t wait forever before getting dressed, which isn’t practical for everyday use. For the price point, I was hoping for something that felt more nourishing and lightweight. While the fragrance and design are lovely, the performance just doesn’t live up to what I expect in a body oil, so I wouldn’t repurchase this one.

I'm a long-time Glossier fan, although I find myself purchasing them less since the Balm Dotcom reformulation. (And then re-reformulation?) I still use my remaining Balm Dotcoms as they're moisturizing and have the perfect amount of scent, but I'm not a fan of the new applicator, which gets pretty messy. I also love the peppery fresh scent of Glossier You, although I haven't splurged on the full-size yet. But I love the convenience and cute packaging of the solid perfume version.
