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.

  • I have been buying Glossier since 2016 and I *still* love their products. I consistently use After Baume, Balm Dotcom (Wild Fig is my favorite), Milky Jelly Cleanser, Milky Oil, the Invisible Shield sunscreen, and Lash Slick. My advice to those trying Glossier: skip on the No. 1 Pencil, Brow Flick and Pro Tip. They're alright, but Glossier's skincare is far better than its makeup in my opinion. And of course, Glossier You is amazing!

  • The products were pretty good. I've tried the boy brow and the concealer, but I was looking for a more eco friendly option. They have cute branding, but aside from that I don't think the products are exceptionally innovative or sustainable.

  • I purchased the Glossier solid perfume after reading about all the hype of how it adjusts to your body chemistry. It was just ok for me. It smells like deodorant when I put it on. Underwhelmed, to say the least. It might be good for others. I'll probably give it away.

  • Bit hit and miss depending on the product. Loved boy brow and lash slick.

  • Glossier is a cosmetic company that understands the power of minimalistic beauty and skincare. With their commitment to quality, stunning packaging, and remarkable value for money, Glossier has rightfully earned its place in the beauty industry. Their products enhance your natural beauty, allowing you to embrace your unique features while feeling pampered and confident. I wholeheartedly recommend Glossier to anyone seeking a beauty brand that celebrates simplicity, quality, and elegance. Let Glossier accompany you on your journey to effortlessly radiant and naturally beautiful skin.

  • Such a fun brand with packaging that makes my heart swoon! I always have their cloud paint, not brow, and a bottle of You perfume on hand. I haven’t been as impressed with their other products I have tried, but the ones that I love are staples I will have on rotation for years to come!

  • I have the perfume, eye shadows, eye brow gel, and have tried the blush. The perfume has become my go to work scent. It’s fresh and powdery soft. I love the blush in the little squeeze thing and use it on lips too. Eyeshadows were ok. Eyebrow gel is a lot like other ones and didn’t repurchase.

  • the products are decent and stores are very cute, but the reformulation of the balm dot com has caused allergic reactions in a few friends which has made me nervous to try it

  • I have used the Milky Jelly Cleanser since 2016, off and on. I love how it emulsifies, it doesn’t ever feel too soapy, and it leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized!

  • Went in person to one of their stores and really enjoyed the product testing experience. However, the makeup shades are extremely generic that any other brand can offer you the same product, and better. I bought their mascara, lipgloss and boy brow, and don’t really understand the hype. I’d need more time than just on my hand in a store to really formulate an option on their skincare (a take home sample??). And haven’t seen anyone truly love their skincare enough to justify buying it to “test”. Also, unrelated to product: any brand that has a racism/bullying issue in their culture that gets unaddressed immediately gets some real 🤨 from me. Maybe it’s time to step away from the white feminist, girlboss millennial pink branding that also reflects in company culture.

  • I love the glossier website and the fact that they've moved to more sustainable packaging options. The products are all high quality and work as advertised.

  • Their skin products are very light and not heavy at all. It's also just the basics and they do not have any crazy anti-aging creams which I like. They often have sales, discounts or package deals that puts them in the reasonable price range. I'm in love with their lip balm since it's very light weight and provides a hint of color.

  • Still stand by their OG products like stretch concealer and cloud paint !!

  • Overall - i love glossier. Love the branding, the website, the in store experience, and the products. I haven’t used every product but i have used their skin tint, lip balm, perfume, fash wash, masks, etc…and overall i love it. I like their makeup more than i like their actual skincare products. The perfume is one of my favorites. I wore it for 3+ years and received many compliments whenever i had it on. For now, their prices are pretty unbeatable for what their products are.

  • I don’t have many complaints about this company. Super fast shipping. Good expletive with customer service and I really like their products. My favorite is the brow flick. Makes it so much easier to do them and have them looking natural

  • For someone like myself, Glossier is a great brand. Their makeup is minimal coverage with a natural finish and their skincare is really just the basics. Their online storefront has excellent customer service, their shipping is fast, and their website is streamlined. Given the quality of product you're getting, the prices are also incredibly reasonable.

  • I am a repeat customer of Boy Brow from Glossier. The product is well-designed and gave me the fuller brows I wanted.

  • Best eyebrow pencil and gel! Great choice of shades and it got me going for months. Good value for money!

  • Always finding the best minimal makeup here. Super easy and made for people who love a glowy no-makeup, makeup look!
