  • Effortless, natural makeup effect

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.

  • Boy Brow and Cloud Paint are my faves. I feel like my Cloud Paint will last until I die haha! Stores, packaging, the brand's mission, love everything!!!

  • I like this brand but am not 'naturally beautiful' enough to rely fully on their makeup alone. I have some acne/scarring and need more full coverage so would never be able to fully rely on a full face of their makeup when getting ready. I would say their products are good for "aspirational beauty" - wish I could look as good as their models when they show their products. Their fragrance, Glossier You, supposedly meshes with your personal body oils and scents to create a custom smell. I am not sure I'd say that was true, but it did smell really nice :) Also have used their lip balm (Balm Dotcom) and those are really nice too. Offer a subtle flavor/fragrance and a nice glossy look. I think their boy brow is one of the best brow shaders/wands on the market. The best product they have IMO.

  • I have tried quite a few Glossier products and all have been very good. I like their clothing too. I would rebut their SPF, cloud paint and mascara but I haven’t had an item I didn’t like yet. I like brow boy too but couldn’t find quite the right colour for me. They are online but have had a few pop-up stores and its been exciting to go in and browse.

  • I had an amazing experience with this brand! With their products I can achieve that glass skin but cute girl look that’s raving all over social media! My lips are quenched and stay moisturized all day. My skin has a natural dewy look and I’m in absolute heaven with how my skin looks!

  • My favorite products are the boy brow and the lashslick! Lash slick is great for everyday mascara wear, as it is a but more natural on. My only qualm with it is that it does dry up quicker than my mascaras from other brands, so it has to be used quicker.

  • Iconic and the blueprint brand 🦋 I tried their Glossier You fragrance and completely fell in love with how it was sweet and peppery the scent was. I sprayed it at the store and knew I had to purchase on the spot. Ive gotten many complements & questions to what fragrance I wear!

  • 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.
