Glossier reviews and discussion

Glossier has definitely gone through many changes - including to some of their cult favorite products - but I still often turn to my Glossier makeup products. Cloud Paint is a holy grail makeup product for me, but I use their highlighter, concealer, bronzer, and lip products often as part of my everyday look for a "my skin / my face but better" vibe. I have not used much of their skincare, but I love their fragrance and their body wash. Definitely recommend checking them out in one of their stores if you happen to be in a city with Glossier! Their in-person presence is amazing - they've done a lot of work to create great store experiences.

I have tested a couple of their moisturizers and their lip tints and balms. They're definitely not bad and have cute/trendy packaging. If you're looking for bang for buck though, I would shop drugstore brands more so.

Glossier customer for years. I love that they have slowly and thoughtfully increased their product offerings. Some forever favorites are milky jelly cleanser (gently removes all makeup), priming moisturizer rich (so thick and luxurious and yet not greasy or too heavy), boy brow, and lash stick (for eyelashes that still look like human eyelashes). Glossier may not have pioneered the no make up makeup look but they definitely offer everything you need to pull it off.

Cute packaging but overall products are ok. I would say their makeup is better than their skincare stuff. Both not worth the price point or supporting the old CEO though.

Glossier started out as one of the best new makeup brand launches of its time. Only some products have stood the test of time and have stood up to new similar competition. The mascara, cloud paint blushes, and Gen Z lipsticks are still staples in my makeup wardrobe but unfortunately none of the other products can compete with the sophisticated new launches since glossier launched. Unfortunately the packaging on my favorite products has broken and rendered the product unusable. The shade range on the products was not impressive and Glossier was too slow to address the frustrations with brands offering white centric shades.

Universal Pro-Retinol

Cute, but not worth the hype. Product packaging is esthetically pleasing, but other than that I didn’t experience any miracles when using any of the products.

I've purchased a couple things from Glossier in the past including liquid eyeshadow, lip gloss, a set of serums. Overall they've been ok. With the serums, there wasn't any visible change to my skin. The eyeshadow was pretty but the shade I got was too close to my skin tone so barely visible. The lip gloss is good but pretty sticky. I do like their minimalist package designs and they're physical stores are a fun experience.

I have loved boy brow and generation g. I have tried the moisturizer, eyeliner, eye glitter, blush.

I keep coming back. Some products have become staples in my beauty routine, others have been cycled out -- and over the years, I have been impressed by their customer service! The milky jelly cleanser is a must have for any skincare routine. And its an excellent, gentle makeup remover. I also love their ~you~ perfume. I know everyone has it but there is something special there if you don't mind your scent not being particularly unique to you. I love the priming moisturizer -- it's a go to for the winter bedtime routine. I have tried all three of their serums. It is cheaper too bundle them than not -- they do work but like all serums you must be consistent to see results. The masks are lovely -- but I think they're are better out there. No big loss or major wins here. You will have a pleasant experience if you buy but may not be returning for more. The body hero lotion is moisturizing -- but former partner once told me he thought it smelled like sunscreen (ha!) - I didn't think so but there it is. Generally -- I am not particularly impressed with their makeup. If I was a teen or in my early 20s I can understand turning to their cache of tinted moisturizers, lip gloss, and cloud paint. I have tried most in their line and have almost always replaced their goods with others (mac, morphe, makeup forever, pat mcgrath etc.)

I get the hype, this is beautifully branded stuff from a cult fave company. I bought in and purchased a few things - moisturizing moon mask, skywash, futuredew, and boy brow and haven’t purchased again and won’t. They felt like just run of the mill drugstore products, just with better packaging. The boy brow lasted for about 3 weeks before it was out of pigment and became just a brow brush. Bummer, I wanted to love but just didn’t.

I've been using a variety of Glossier products for a few years now and think some things are more worth the hype than others, but the things I do like I really like. My current favorites are the balm dotcom and the Milky Jelly cleanser - balm is great especially for very subtle very moisturizing color in the tinted shades, and the cleanser does a good job of cleaning without stripping moisture.

Everyone knows this makeup does not provide full-coverage. They don't claim to... And you HAVE to be into the dewy look. I think they're best product is the stretch concealer. Although it moves slightly, I'd prefer that to cakey crusties. Plus it's super brightening which I love.

I have yet to try a Glossier product that I haven't loved. As someone who isn't particularly into makeup, I appreciate how easy their products are to use. I'm also a fan of their minimal packaging and aesthetic. The Glossier You perfume is a daily staple for me and I always get so many compliments when I wear it. And let's not even get started on Boy Brow - I always make sure to have a backup in stock because I can't live without it. All in all, Glossier has quickly become one of my go-to brands for high-quality, easy-to-use beauty products.

Don’t love their products. Kosas is a better alternative.

Glossier was a transformative makeup experience shift for me when it first came out. I buy from them regularly and have been a loyal user for years. Some of my favorite products that I use every day are: Solution, Milky Jelly, Retinol, and the serum trio. Their makeup is also my usual everyday go tos but I do know that a lot of people do not like it because it's so sheer. I think the price range is pretty reasonable but I think my main reason for knocking off a point in my rating is just for the lack of innovation and new ideas. There's rarely any new/interesting products and most are either 1 limited edition color, or an assortment of the same ol' products in a gift box. I've probably spent several thousand on them over the years and they've also never had any loyalty program or rewards. Honestly just gets kinda old, if I ever find a better skincare/makeup solution I wouldn't mind switching.

Glossier’s product offering has something for all users and makeup comfortability levels. Their products last long, are light on your skin and Glossier You is an iconic scent we’ve all come to recognize. Cons: their packaging is very poor. Products consistently leak, tubes crack, wands snap & their customer service does not make you whole. As a customer, this was tolerable in ~2015 when the brand was just getting started but these woes are nearly unacceptable for a brand of their size now.

cool girl, clean zillenial aesthetic with packaging that is perfect on any vanity. My hero products are : the Gen G lipstick in shade "Like" for that just blotted perfect pink/berry shade, "Glossier You" perfume for that bright pepper yet subtly sweet scent that really does settle in differently on everyone, and finally, my beloved boy brow, with the perfect dark blonde shade and the best applicator I've ever used for my brows. There is something for everyone in this product line whether you're into makeup or skincare!

I got the Cloud Paint in the color Storm — a warm rose for my medium tan skin! The formula is thick enough but light enough that the product beautifully adds color to your cheeks while giving visibility to your natural skin. Glossier is a pro-skin makeup brand that embraces skin texture, and I wish the products were more accessible in-store which is why I gave four stars instead of five, but word on the street is that Glossier will be on the shelves in Sephora stores in early 2023!

Great branding, amazing website, and probably one of the first “clean beauty” product lines (before the craze). I’ve tried a ton of their products over the years (boy brow, cloud paint, future dew, etc.) but nothing ever really stuck. I always ended up finding products I liked more, but that’s different for everyone depending on skin type and how they do their makeup.
