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.

  • Expensive for what you get, but hot girl minimalist makeup/skincare brand. Skincare isn't the best for sensitive skin, but I love the makeup and the oil body wash. They are definitely more mainstream now, so you can find anything. My fave products are the cloud paint (classic, though I wish staying power was better) and the Body Hero body wash.

  • I think I will always buy boy, Bro. Especially now that some of my eyebrows are getting gray. It keeps my brows in place all day long.

  • Remember when the founder of this company was that intern on The Hills?

  • Glossier products are such a hit or miss for me. I've tried so many over the past 5 or so years, and here's where I stand with the products I've tried. I love boy brow so much and have repurchased dozens of times (I even keep a few stocked up at home so I never run out). I like cloud paint (so pigmented, so one tube last forever) and I like the You perfume but I likely won't repurchased (I can't leave the house wearing it without someone recognizing the scent, so it's lost its uniqueness imo). I'm completely indifferent on skywash, lidstar, and the brow flick. All fine, but forgettable. I disliked the milky jelly cleanser (so drying) and *hated* superdew (looks terrible on my skin and should not be labeled as a serum imo - you're better off skipping and using a bit of vaseline to create a dewy look).

    Received a free product from Glossier
  • I have been using glossier since the dawn of the brand. My favorite multiple repurchased items are - glossier you perfume -the body hero wash - hand lotion -multiple eye liner colors - lash slick. The list goes on. I love glossier and I think they changed the game for skin care and minimal makeup. The branding has been on point from day one. If you haven't tried them yet ; you should ASAP!

  • I’ve been a fan since the very first launch and my list of favorites continues to grow

  • I know people hate the new balm dot com formula, but honestly I don't think's that bad! it still hydrates decently and isn't too thick (although I'd be lying if I said the old formula wasn't better). scent wise their perfume is simple and elegant. obviously on the pricier side, but I am a sucker for aesthetically pleasing packaging...

  • I’ve tried the skin tint and expected it to have a bit more coverage, but did not. It does give a nice “glass skin” finish - however I have a bit more textured skin so I use it only on days when I want a true no makeup look

  • I really like Glossier. All of their products work super well and I can always find something I like. Cool vibe

  • I own a lot of their products cause I cannot resist their packaging...You perfume, mascara and balm dot com are the products I love the most, but boybrow and their serums I don't think are worth the money. Fun brand experience and fun gift to give someone, but I don't think the quality is consistent across all of their products.

  • I had such a hard time, finding a great product for my face, because I was always worried I would break out. After using this product, I was so amazed with the outcome I had to try all they had to offer. My face is never looked so clean and done up before.

  • Love everything about this brand - the products are great and the packaging is super cute. My favorites are the Future Dew Serum, milk jelly cleanser and the glossier you perfume!

  • Pretty happy with all my glossier products. I really like their natural/clean/dewy looking effect. Nowadays, there are my alike brands, but I appreciate them for paving the way. The balm dot com is a staple for me.

  • have been a fan of Glossier since its conception. Great products at affordable prices will make me a fan for life!

  • I'm committed to their cloud paints and lash slick. Everything I've tried is great quality and lasting power. Their website is amazing and fun to shop. Love getting Glossier makeup as gifts!

  • I used to be a big Glossier girl but with all of the competition, especially around natural products, I feel that they have fallen short. I wish they would push more into the natural market.
