Reviews mention

  • Effortless, buildable formulas
  • Compliment‑magnet signature fragrance
  • Iconic, intuitive packaging
  • Natural, seamless finishes
  • Sheer, short‑wear pigments
  • Inconsistent reformulation outcomes
  • Drying, quick‑spent mascara/brow
  • Fussy, fragile packaging

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.

  • My favorite cream blush ever. I use it year-round, sometimes on bare skin, and sometimes with more of a full face of makeup. Also works on lips and eyes for an overall glowy effect. Also a big fan of their eyebrow gel and concealer.

  • Body wash -- super smooth and good for sensitive skin Exfoliating solution -- helps keep my acne-prone skin clear Balm dotcom -- I prefer the non-tinted ones and find that the balm is good for chronic chapped lips I love the pink zip lock that the products are shipped in

  • For the longest time, I had only ever heard of Glossier. It wasn't at Sephora and I just remember hearing of it's cult status Boy Brow and Jelly cleanser. Only recently have I actually purchased and tried the brand. I cannot live without Future Dew. I apply it before or sometimes after my foundation and it adds just the right about of glow--not greasy or overly shiny--just healthy glow. I think i'm on my third bottle now. I also love balmdotcom. As a fiercely loyal Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask user, I couldn't fathom trying another balm, but I did and i'm truly living for the multi-functionality of balmdotcom. I love the flavors, but keep the original with me at all times to dab on my lips, dry skin, hair, anything! It's truly a multi-purpose balm. Their hydraulic acid serum is another one i'm about out of and will be repurchasing. The gel consistency of the serum both fascinates and entices me to use it daily. It feels fun to put on my skin. I haven't tried many of their products, but slowly I will! I'm sold on the brand and even though I didn't dig their aesthetic at first -- it is very cool girl--and I am definitely not one. I love their products.

    Feedback

    The brand felt a little intimidating/off-putting to me for years. Their culty cool-girl status made me feel a little insecure.

  • My favorite brow product will hands down always be the boy brow. The gloss is great too - it's not too stick but is just thick and long lasting enough. I haven't personally tried the You scent but have friends who love it.

  • Since 2019, Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, and Balm Dotcom have been the basis of my 'no makeup' look whether it's for the office, the farmer's market, or a night on the town with girls. I love the sleekness and simplicity of the marketing, and the products themself lend toward ease. As someone who is not confident with their makeup skills and prefers a more subdued look, I truly do enjoy their products. Cloud Paint Blush is super buildable, and the Boy Brow Volumizing Gel Pomade add a sleek, polished look to my everyday face without too much effort. I love the colors, glossiness, and taste (haha!) of the balm, and they are actually moisturizing. The only complaint I have is with the packaging for the Cloud Paint Blush as it sometimes oozes out too much product so beware!

  • I love my glossier You perfume, though from my understanding it’s been reformulated since my last purchase. It’s sexy but not too much and has a moderate wear time. The price is reasonable for a perfume and I bought it after loving the scent on someone else.

  • I love Glossier's cloud paint! A little goes a long way and because of that I have had mine for over a year! It adds such a nice color to my everyday routine and I love all of the different shades Glossier has for this product.

  • I’ve tried the lip balms and was not wowed by its performance. You could ultimately get the same results using Vaseline’s lip therapy. By all means purchase if you care more about the fragrance aspect. They offer a wide variety.

  • I have tried the Glossier Boy Brow, as well as the Milky cleanser. In stores, I have checked out a variety of their other products. In my opinion, it's not luxury product, but it is priced as such. It's just better branding then the typical mainstream pharmacy brands.

  • I loveee this brand! Makes my skin look so good with every single drop of it! I always have it in my purse with me. I take it everywhere I gooo

  • Loves this brand when it first came out, but now I prefer more premium brands such as Jones Road and Ilia as i think their products are superior (but i feel like glossier made an impact first)

  • I love their lip glosses, boy brow, blush, and fragrance. I have repurchased all.

  • Yo use la mascara de pestañas y me encanto como me las marco y arqueo el pincel. El acabado es hermoso y nada grumoso. La super recomiendo.

  • fell victim to the glossier marketing! i wish the balm dot coms had better applicators because i do love the wild fig color!

  • I received a sample of the glossier you perfume and this stood out to me as an amazing and subtle perfume that really adds depth to other scents when layered. I really love it and the spray is great but I loved the hard perfume they had.

  • I love love love Glossier, I have been using their foundation for a year now and it is my go to every day for a dewy, glowey, and beautiful natural look!

  • I love the look and feel of glossier. It’s feminine and minimalist. I’ve tried a few products including their highlighters, cleansers and lipsticks and love that everything feels very minimal and natural.

  • I have tried several products, and overall, I really like them. I'm not big into makeup, but the products are so simple and easy to use and their color selections allow me to use my favorite neutrals as well as try new colors and looks I haven't tried before. So far, my favorite products are Boy Brow, Lidstar, You perfume, Balm Dot Com, and Lash Slick.
