Reviews mention

  • Effortless, natural makeup effect

  • 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 am such a sucker for glossier - I’ve tried and been pleased with what feels like every product they make. Their mascara and cloud paint are still in my regular rotation years and years later.

  • There was a point 4 years ago when I woke up and realized that my entire makeup routine was Glossier. This is a great brand for beginners not really sure where to start or people who are into a no-fuss, put-it-on-haphazardly-with-your-fingers routine. I don't consider myself a minimalist or low-maintenance, but I still really like their stuff. My "must try" list includes stretch concealer, any of their lip products, boy brow, cloud paint, and Glossier You. Their skincare is nice, but not really worth the price point. I would only recommend the face washes and moisturizers if you're really curious.

  • Hit and miss. Some of their products are good (foundation) whilst other are hyped ( lush). The price point is not crazy but the quality is not the best. Not readily available and stuck in the past. It’s a brand that has not been able to drive the market, they have now become outdated.

  • Most of their makeup is amazing, however some products are just so sheer or non existent the price doesn’t make sense. I love everything except the skin tint and the eyeshadow creams in the tube.

  • Love all of the products I’ve tried - the cloud paint blush is amazing, the Puff color is so pretty. The perfume - Glossier You is one of my favorites and wear it often! Their products are great for sensitive skin too

  • Im a Glossier loyalist for many of my daily skincare and makeup routines. I love that the brand is not only well designed (Im sorry but Millennial pink is a thing and I love it) but also makes great products that work. I also thoroughly enjoy the surprise and delight of the seasonal stickers and packaging. It adds a fun unpackaging moment and you can reuse the packing as a travel kit. I will also say that there have been a few products I haven't loved and the return process has been so seamless and so easy.

  • Started using this brand a few years ago and it's been a staple in my medicine cabinet. Every time I've bought a product, it's been reliable and easy to add to my routine. My favorites have been the serum trio and the eye cream.

  • Absolutely love all this glossier. Most notably, the bow brow and the futuredew — both staples in my makeup bag and, more often than not, the only products I use on a typical day. Great company, amazing products.

  • Boy brow is really, really great and I'll keep buying it, but in terms of the rest, it feels like a big price to pay for "no makeup" makeup, that is true to itself. As in, there's not much going on, which is fine if you just want slight coverage/tint, but it's not necessarily going to be super noticeable. So it depends on what you are going for. Just a boost to your features? Then it does the job, but I don't think it's worth the price for that.

  • Over the years, I have purchased various Glossier products beginning with their launch in 2014, and my experience with them has been a mix of hits and misses. While some products proved to be great, others left much to be desired. I had a wonderful experience when visiting the Glossier store in LA in December 2022. The Milky Jelly Cleanser and Coconut Flavored Balm Dotcom are standout products, and remain favorites in my routine. The Glossier Perfecting Skin Tint (2014 formulation) and Glossier Priming Moisturizer (2016 formulation) caused skin sensitivity. The Mega Greens Galaxy Pack and Moisturizing Moon Mask (purchased in 2015) were average products that didn't leave a lasting impression. It's worth exploring alternative options and considering personal preferences and sensitivities when deciding to invest in Glossier's skincare range. When I visited the Glossier store in LA in December 2022, it was a fantastic experience. The store not only showcased Glossier's aesthetic charm and excellent customer service but also prioritized responsible health practices with regard to product testing.

  • Glossier is a game-changer in the beauty industry. Their products are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also deliver on their promises. From their cult-favorite Boy Brow to their innovative Cloud Paint, Glossier knows how to create products that enhance natural beauty. The brand's minimalist packaging and Instagram-worthy aesthetic make getting ready in the morning feel like a luxurious experience. Plus, their inclusive shade ranges and commitment to diversity make them a standout in the industry. If you're looking for high-quality, effortless beauty products that will make you feel like the best version of yourself, Glossier is the way to go. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

  • The packaging, aesthetics, and overall Glossier experience are excellent. It feels like a club of the most chic people you know, and you want in. Some products shine more than others - the body oil wash, candle, balm dot com, and boy brow are a few of my personal favorites. This is the ultimate clean girl, cool girl brand with no makeup makeup products that are easy and effortless.

  • I love everything I have from Glossier! My favorite item is the Glossier ‘You’ perfume. I get showered with compliments whenever I wear it and who doesn’t love to be told “You smell so good!!”

  • Sorry I'm not the norm but the primary positives I have for Glossier are the packaging (always innovative, always beautiful) and the accessible prices but the quality of the formulations is "meh" at best

  • I think the products are great and I continue to purchase them. My only concern is the pink pouches that products are packaged in... they always break! I love the idea of having reusable packaging but it's frustrating when they stop working. Otherwise, love the branding and quality of products!

  • Glossier's perfume is my favorite! It's light and floral perfect for spring/summer wear! I did hear that the perfume formula might have been changed recently, and I haven't had to buy a new one since I bought the one I had in October of 2022. I really recommend it!
