Reviews mention

  • Effortless, natural makeup effect
  • Beloved, compliment‑magnet fragrance
  • Lightweight, comfortable textures
  • Iconic, chic packaging
  • Sheer, low‑coverage bases
  • Inconsistent scent longevity
  • Occasional packaging fragility
  • Sticky gloss, drying lipstick

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.

  • I love the products that I have tried from Glossier. I do think the brand is geared towards people who are wanting a more natural and minimalistic look. I really enjoy lash slick because I already have long lashes and it gives them a natural boost. I also love boy brow because it is the only gel that actually works with my thick brow hairs.

    I think some of the products are expensive for what they are. Additionally, the brand is not very shade inclusive as they really only have four-five shades. I was unable to find complexion products for my skin tone.

  • There are certain products I love and certain ones that are just ok. I'd recommend if you wanting to try some new makeup and skincare out. It's a little pricy and can only be bought on their website.

  • I love how approachable to makeup their products are. Boy brow and the mascara are my staples. Reasonably priced, does the job, and made for quick application. Great for a natural beauty look.

    None!

  • I don’t go a day without the boy brow! I have tried countless other substitutes and nothing compares! My experience with the other products has been so-so but I continue to buy the boy brow!

  • I like the products and the ease and convenience it has.

    Feedback

    I wish their wasn’t so much fragrance.

  • Many of my holy grail products are Glossier. Cloud paint is the best cream blush I have tried to this day.

  • Great eyebrow and eyeshadow products. Good price for the quality. I would but again.

  • I have brought so many of their product for myself and my friends. I'm an absolute sucker for the bowbrow, the mascara. the cheek stains and the perfume. The perfume never ceases to surprise me just how many people absolutely love the smell and ask me about it. A brand that really listens to its customers too.

  • Glossier is perfect who is overwhelmed by skin care and make up. The products are super simple and straightforward. I also really appreciate the diverse representation of skin tones wearing the make up on the website, it really helps when picking out a shade!

  • I love the generation G lip balm for a bit of natural lip color that doesn’t dry out my skin! Also I’ve had the blush for 3 years it lasts literally forever!

    Feedback

    Generation G lip balm top constantly breaks. I’ve had 4 and all have broken in half and refuse to close over the top of the balm now! I don’t want to spend money on a new one when this one still has a lot of product left.

  • Love love love this brand. I am a big Glossier girl. I've been very satisfied with pretty much every single one of their products I've tried, which is saying something. Particular highlights include their highlighter products and the Cloud Paint.

    The skin tint can be irritating to my skin

  • If you have the chance to go to a glossier store take it! So innovative on their design and product displays. I bought the balm dot com and it's great, no complaints. Super clean packaging, cool marketing, and great displays.

    Feedback

    More stores throughout the states to not send an elitist mentality

  • The skincare in general has an odd smell / it's ok - HOWEVER, the boy brow pencil is the specific product that I would order repeatedly. Super compact, impactful and easy to use for brow popping, and comes in a variety of colors.

  • Skincare is for people who already have great, clear skin and don’t need much. Always wear primer with the makeup. Slips off easily.

    Feedback

    Makeup that lasts and skincare that drive for results when you are prone to acne skin.

  • I have tried many Glossier products and have nothing but good things to say. My favorite products are the balm dot com, Glossier You Eau de Parfum, cloud paint, and lidstar.

  • Only have tried the boy brow and perfume but love both. Great smell for the perfume and absolutely loved how easy the boy brow is to use and just makes my brows look done up but in a natural way!

  • Some individual products are great but it's not consistent throughout the brand

    Feedback

    Shade range is absolute trash, skincare way overpriced for what it is

  • Reasonably priced cosmetic products that are reliable. Went through a phase where my skincare and makeup routine were predominantly from Glossier but now feel that there are better options on the market. Now feel like the hype is dying down but still love the branding and think they were pioneers within their space.

  • I’m a fan of the boy brow, but the liquid shadow tubes seem to really irritate my eyelids. Also, the skincare is fine, but I’ve liked k-beauty skin care products more that cost less and are more effective on my 35 year old skin.

    Feedback

    I don’t know what it is about those shadow tubes but my eyelids hate them.

  • Really like this brand and my favorite product is the perfume. The foundation and concealer makeup is better for those that just want really light coverage.

    More coverage for makeup products
