Reviews mention

  • Compliment-magnet signature fragrance
  • Seamless, buildable cream blush
  • Natural, defining brow gel
  • Gentle, lightweight cleanser
  • Inconsistent shade inclusivity
  • Sheer, short-lasting formulas
  • Fragile, leaky packaging
  • Variable scent longevity

Glossier earns praise in reviews for effortless, no‑makeup makeup staples like Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, and the universally complimented Glossier You fragrance, which many call a signature scent. However, reviewers flag inconsistent makeup payoff and longevity, polarizing skincare efficacy, packaging flaws (leaking body oil, cracking lipstick caps, messy Cloud Paint tubes), reformulation disappointments (Balm Dotcom, You perfume), limited shade range, and some products feeling sheer, basic, or short‑lasting.

  • I was gifted some Glossier products for Christmas, having never tried them before and I thought they were all hype - but I was wrong! LOVE Boy Brow, Lash Slick and Cloud Paint and will definitely be repurchasing very soon as they're almost out. Reasonably priced too.

    A lot of plastic is my only concern.

  • I am absolutely obsessed with boy brow and can't go back. That and lidstar are the only makeup I need during lockdown, but it's just the right amount of pop. The fact that it's all cruelty-free and beautifully-packaged is a bonus.

  • I love this brand and have never had a bad experience with their products. I can’t wait for more stuff to come out so I can try more of their products! I always recommend this brand to everyone I know

  • Glossier is hands-down my go-to for simple, effective beauty products. Their skincare makes my skin glow, and the makeup is perfect for that natural, no-makeup look. I’m obsessed with the Boy Brow and Cloud Paint—easy to use and always deliver flawless results. Plus, the packaging is so cute, and their customer service is top-notch. Glossier understands modern beauty like no one else

  • The superset is a good product. It definitely makes my skin look more hydrated but it also is a little sticky / greasy feeling. I don’t love that feeling. I have really dry skin so this def gives me a moisture boost but at a price of comfort.

  • SKINCAEE done right! I’m obsessed with these products and must always have them in stock

  • Feel like the formulations aren't as high quality as they used to be.

  • Glossier has some hero products that I will forever continue to use (lip tint, brow gel) but in general I find their products pretty hit and miss.

  • Glossier makes innovative products. I’ve tried several that were shipped from the brand. The products are nice! The lip products are a must-have. Need all the flavors! Shipping was fast too.

  • I have waaaaay too many Glossier products. My favorite is the "You" perfume, it smells so different on me then my best friend. More spicy and woodsy and she smells sweet when wearing it. I have about seven Balm dot coms so I can say Im a definite fan. The aesthetic is also exactly how I like it.

  • Kinda overpriced overhyped brand. Boy brow used to be my fave but I recently repurchased and it seems off somehow. I used to love the face wash so maybe I'll repurchase to see if it's changed.

  • I love glossier and always will! The perfume is the perfect clean time spring scent and their body oil is perfect for a luxurious shower addition on a budget.

  • Great product

  • I'm obsessed with Glossier! I love their minimalistic approach to beauty and skincare. Their products are perfect

  • I love the you perfume! It does smell different on different people which I love! I do suggest trying it in store first before buying it to make sure it smells good on you!

  • I like the lip balm. The speculoos butter flavor is to die for and I hope they bring it back year after year.

  • To me, Glossier is the Original Cool Girl Brand. The packaging, the marketing, the physical store in LA, it’s all amazing. I first fell in love with the signature scent, which i always get compliments on. The Balm Dot Com in Fig came next– the PERFECT hint of tint. The Milky Jelly Cleanser + Super Bounce serum have been amazing on my skin. I’m so happy Glossier is sold in Sephora now, the accessibility has been a game-changer!

  • Their design is to my liking, and their products really helped my skin. For a light beauty routine, they are just what you need!

  • The milky oil is an absolute winner. The zit stick wasn't as effective as I'd hoped. Nice products and packaging too.
