Reviews mention

  • Effortless, natural makeup effect
  • Beloved, compliment‑magnet fragrance
  • Lightweight, comfortable textures
  • Iconic, chic packaging
  • Sheer, low‑coverage bases
  • Inconsistent scent longevity
  • Occasional packaging fragility
  • Sticky gloss, drying lipstick

Glossier impresses in reviews for delivering easy, natural-looking makeup—standouts include Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, and the much‑praised Glossier You fragrance—while drawing criticism for ultra‑sheer coverage, inconsistent longevity, and packaging flaws. Reviews say the brand is good for “no‑makeup makeup” days and everyday scent, but skincare feels basic and shade range and recent reformulations (You, Balm Dotcom) disappoint some users.

    I don’t really think there needs to be any improvement

  • I've purchased from Glossier mulitple times. I like almost all of their products -- some more than others. I like that it's easy to apply, but it doesn't last all day for me.

    Feedback

    More fun colors and mascara that stays on all day!

  • I have been a Glossier user for several years. The milky jelly face wash is the best for my skin and I LOVE lash slick. Their body products are great and I really like the products I have!

  • I’ve only ever tried their moisturizer. The packaging is so cute and that’s what got me to purchase at first. But, product wise, the moisturizer didn’t really wow me. There are definitely some drugstore dermatologist approved moisturizer that I would choose over glossier’s. This being said, I have a few friends who are huge fans of glossier’s makeup line and I definitely need to give them a try before giving a review.

  • Never a dull experience with Glossier - have been using the products for ages; currently lash slick and lip gloss are a part of my usual routine. Brand stands the test of time.

    Always looking for brands with less plastic.

    Invested in Glossier
  • Some Glossier products have really stood the test of time -- their tubing mascara and their boy brow, for example. I recommend those without reservations. Others seem a little overhyped and overpriced like their skin tint and some of their lip/ eye products). I've never tried their skincare, so I can't speak to those.

  • I’ve tried just about every product from this brand and I genuinely feel that this is such a great brand for people who want to wear minimal makeup and have light, clean coverage.

  • Bubblewrap eye cream is hands down the best eye cream I've tried. Love everything from their packaging, products, and in-store experiences.

  • 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.

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

  • 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

    Influencer for Glossier
  • 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.
