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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I was a big fan of Glossier back when they first blew up (2017ish) but now, I just feel like they've fallen behind and many other brands have outdone them. They still have great branding and looks, but the products are really so-so, and the price is affordable, but the quality is not good.
Skin Salve was nice but the consistency changed to much with temperature changes and the tube always rip open in the back!

Good branding but needs better product packaging
Glossier cloud paints are my one of my all time favorite blushes. They are so pigmented and come in incredible shades. Its important to take the time to properly blend the darker shades but once you do they look amazing.
Glossier is a popular beauty brand that has taken the industry by storm with their minimalist approach to makeup and skincare. I have had the opportunity to try several Glossier products, and I must say that I am very impressed with the quality and effectiveness of their products.

Another great product from Glossier is their Cloud Paint, which is a cream blush that comes in a range of flattering shades. The formula is buildable and blendable, allowing for a natural-looking flush of color on the cheeks. The lightweight and dewy finish make it perfect for achieving a fresh and youthful glow. Overall, I would highly recommend Glossier products to anyone looking for high-quality, effective, and easy-to-use makeup and skincare products. The brand's minimalist approach and focus on enhancing natural beauty make their products accessible to a wide range of customers, and the quality of their products is undeniable.
I highly recommend going to a Glossier location to purchase because they are beautiful works of art and the salespeople are so lovely and stylish. I love the You scent in all forms and the weightless feel of Glossier’s products.

I would take the You rollerball over the You solid if given the chance. I find that the solid doesn’t last as long as the perfume but I have no difficulty using it! I get compliments on this perfume all the time.
I’ve enjoyed the products that I’ve tried. Boy brow my go to! Same with balm dot com
I love glossier products because they're easy to use (intuitive, do it with your hands makeup) and also for their adorable packaging. Their "You" perfume is long lasting & one of my favorites & smells different on everyone. I can also recommend their sunscreen for daily use under makeup.
I’ve been using Glossier for about 7 years now, since 2016 and I keep coming back to it. I’ve tried almost all of their makeup and I just bought the super glow serum to try. Some of their products can be a little bit hit or miss but overall I’ve noticed I tend to reach for glossier when I do my makeup.
I’ve been using this brand for years! I enjoy all of the blushes and the skin tint is pretty good at covering redness while still being very light coverage. The concealer is my favorite as it looks nearly undetectable and one pot has lasted me years.
Feedback
Old balm dot com formula was much better.
Glossier's branding is great. But recently, I've noticed that some of their flagship products, such as the Balm Dot Com, have stopped working as well, and I've heard complaints from others about this too. Lanolin and beeswax have disappeared from their ingredients list. I am rating 3 stars though, because their brow product is a stellar makeup product. I would give other products on their website a try, but disappointed in the Balms, since they are probably the most useful product they sell.
Feedback
At the end of the day, I would say there are other brands who do what Glossier does for a cheaper price and more effective results.

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.
Feedback
Without sustainable packaging and branding that has not matured with its consumer Glossier now reads as a cheaper version of makeup and skincare that does not continue the novelty it brought to the scene when it launched. A more sustainable and sophisticated branding along with paired down and reformulated products could bring back original clients.

Universal Pro-Retinol
Feedback
I’m 57 years old and have been using the Glossier Pro Retinol for about a year and a half about 4 times a week and will be continuing with this product. I regularly receive compliments regarding my skin, youthful appearance, and minimal lines and creases.
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.
Feedback
Their products seem ok for what they cost. Wasn't blown away but they do the trick. If you can I'd recommend going in person to one of their stores and trying their products.
I have loved boy brow and generation g. I have tried the moisturizer, eyeliner, eye glitter, blush.

Previously a go-to but hasn’t released any notable products in years.

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.)

Please consider making products in larger volume -- e.g. milky jelly cleanser and perfume
