Glossier earns mixed reviews: the brand excels at effortless “no-makeup makeup” with standouts like Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, Stretch Concealer, and the Glossier You fragrance, but several users find the skincare average and some makeup too sheer to last. Reviews praise easy, finger-friendly application, flattering shades, and iconic packaging, while noting weaknesses such as reformulations (Balm Dotcom, You), limited coverage and pigment, mascara/brow products drying quickly, packaging flaws, and scent or longevity concerns with You.

I absolutely adore the Glossier Monochromes Eyeshadow Trios. Not only do you get an awesome eyeshadow that doesn't have a lot of fall out, but you get three different options (matte, satin, and a sparkle-metallic) that are all perfect for daily options and for going out. Will be repurchasing and grabbing other colors! I have used a couple of the Balm Dotcom lip balms from Glossier as well. I don't think they actually hydrate and tend to make my lips feel drier after using it. Super fun color options, but not your best option if you're searching for something that will actually keep your lips hydrated.

I have been a long time Glossier stan and I use their perfume everyday along with some of their other products. The perfume is my go to for a reason, the scent is subtle but I have received a lot of compliments on it! Some of the other products, like the balm dot coms and the lipsticks are more hit or miss for me, the packaging for the lipstick I currently have completely broke and would not close after a couple of uses, making it impossible to take on the go and the balm dot com is not as moisturizing as I find other lip balms to be. I do love visiting Glossier stores in DC, Chicago and NYC.
I love the scent of all these products. Great value and cute packaging!
Glossier's Cloud Paint is a makeup must-have! The dreamy, blendable formula gives cheeks a natural, radiant flush. It's like a soft, rosy kiss for your face. Perfect for that effortless, dewy look.
Glossier is a good brand to purchase if you are looking for that subtle “clean girl” aesthetic. The products they offer are simple but clean and they work beautifully. My favorite product is the “Balm Dot Com” the product name speaks for itself with 9 different flavors to choose from from mint to birthday cake. I love that the balm is vegan and cruelty free while also being soothing and conditioning. Highly recommend this product!

Glossier is one of those brands that I think is majorly over-hyped. I have bought a few products from there (boy brow gel, balm dotcom lip balm) and they're fine, but nothing to write home about. I got the lip balm in original, and there was a slightly weird smell to the product in both tubes I had bought. The boy brow definitely does it's job, but I already have full brows so I don't mess with my eyebrows much. I've been to their showroom/store in NYC too and tested out their products but again, wasn't overwhelmingly impressed. There's nothing wrong with Glossier, they seem to be great at marketing, there are just other brands I prefer more.

I started with Boy Brow maybe 5 years ago and still use it religiously. I've tried other brow gels, I know Benefit has a good one that I've also used and liked, but I keep coming back to Boy Brow because it applies so consistently and cleanly, wears all day, doesn't smudge, and is a super dark black. It's perfect for the no-makeup makeup look. I also love Glossier's daily moisturizer. It's so smooth, layers well, and doesn't pill under makeup.

Very cute and simple, does the job but I wouldn't recommend to spend to much money on this brand because their skincare don't really work. Some of their makeup such as lipsticks and fondations are good, but that's it. Honesty not a big fan
Boybrow is my go-to eyebrow product. I've been using glossier for years, and that and the Generation G for a perfect blurry lip are my top products. I've never had an allergic reaction, despite sensitive skin, so go Glossier!
I bought some Glossier products when I visited America and I loved them. I wish we could get them in Australia. The stretch balm concealer is so good. Natural looking, easy to apply, feels nice on and blends right in. Love the branding and packaging too.
Glossier is a popular and affordable beauty brand. Its budget-friendly prices make it accessible to many, which is a big plus. However, one downside is the excessive waste generated by the brand's packaging. While it has a minimalistic design, Glossier could do more to address the issue of sustainability. They also often change formulas of the products so there is not much of a consistantcy

the new formulation of YOU is not bad, but definitely not what it used to be. Still love the smell!
I got the Ultralip High Shine Lipstick from Glossier and love it! The color doesn't last as long as I'd like but keeps my lips more hydrated and doesn't feel sticky like some lipsticks. Love that they're in Sephora now too!
Great brand if you want an elevated basic, as I don't really think any of their products are remarkable or do anything to set themselves apart. I have and use lidstar and the bodyhero like daily, and while they both accomplish their job its nothing special. The in store experience is definitely fun and their scents do smell good, I wish they just lasted longer.

Some of their products are nothing special/not good, but a handful are favorites of mine that I've purchased multiple times: the Body Hero body wash, the Cloud Paint blushes, the Ultralip, and the Balm Dotcom. I tend to find that their makeup is better than their skincare. I also got the solid You perfume, which eventually went stale.

Love this brand overall!! I got the Glossier You rollerball perfume and it smells amazing - peppery, and almost unisex! My only issue is that it’s a little pricey for a small rollerball, but I love it so much. I’ll definitely buy again.
Not only are Glossier’s products super Instagram worthy but they also are effective and beautiful. I started with the balm dot com and now have multiple Glossier products as staples in my routine. The pigments are beautiful and the makeup wears beautifully. The skincare products are also great- although I’ve not tried it all. Also, I love that they now sell at Sephora so I can try products in person!
I steal this from my girl ALL the time. All the products are gas. Sometimes I look at the website just for fun because it is nice to look at it. I would buy all of it if I could. I just love the product but I think I love the brand even more. Long live brands. I love em.
Love the make up products I've tried so far. I really like that they are subtle to enhance your beauty for that no make up look. I prefer to keep it natural but these make up products feel so fun and are in such flattering colors. the pinks are my favorite!
Glossier defined a generation of beauty products. I love the aesthetic. Some of my favorite products include the Boy Brow gel and the lip balm. Unfortunately, the recent re formulation of the Balm Dotcom has made the product less moisturising (-1 star for changing my fave).
