  • 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 absolutely LOVE this brand. Everything I have bought thus far has been incredible. I am especially in love with the balms, cloudpaint, and their serums. Perfect for people who like the routine of makeup without the cakiness or time consumption.

  • I have many glossier products including the perfume which is my all time favorite and gets compliments with every wear

    No feedback! It lasts all day, I love it

  • Some good basics, but a lot of the makeup products don't actually give much pigment or coverage. Would be great as a first makeup kit for kids/teens. I do, however, like the cloud paint and have had the same tube for years.

  • Really great products, my skin feels super soft after using them! I don't really enjoy the smell but to be honest it doesn't hurt y skin at all!

    Really great products, my skin feels super soft after using them! I don't really enjoy the smell but to be honest it doesn't hurt y skin at all! I'll definitely buy again their products!

  • Love love love the majority of the products glossier has! Perfect for that “no makeup” makeup look. Also, their EDP is one of my favorite perfumes of all time.

    Feedback

    A little expensive for the type of product/amount

  • Love nearly all of the Glossier product offerings - beauty, skincare, fragrance, home, etc. Cloud paint and Glossier You are two of my favorite product of all time.

    Feedback

    Overall brand experience has mostly been seamless, besides that shipping from the web can often take very long. I prefer to shop in person.

  • I tried the Glossier perfume and it had a spicy, sweet scent from the peppercorn. Cute bottle.

    Feedback

  • Good but not great

    Feedback

    Products are not groundbreaking but certain ones are really good - personal favorites: Lash Slick, You (Solid), Invisible Shield.

  • Glossier me perfume is delicious, fresh and professional. Not top strong or offensive. Beautiful packaging

    Get a tester before buying a dull bottle - possibly not dor you if you dont love musky smells.

  • I’ve tried a couple different serums, the super pure with niacinamide and zinc, and the super glow with vitamin c and magnesium. It’s one of those things we’re you don’t notice if it’s working right away or not. But after a couple weeks I’ve noticed my skin was less bumpy and I like pairing the super glow in the morning with my spf for extra sun protection. My skin tends to be dry so I do like to pack on the future dew which adds a thick layer of protection/shine after applying makeup. I rub it in my hands first and lightly tap it into my skin and it gives a soft supple skin boost. Only if I’m doing a no makeup look. I really appreciate the packaging. The glass bottles goes well on my counter. I also bought my sister the pink glossier hoodie for her birthday and she loves it. The quality is very nice for the price.

  • I have been loving all of the product I have, very minimalistic, simple but still fells luxurious! You can tell the spent time thinking about the product and packaging!

  • I obviously hopped on the glossier wagon, along with so many others, years ago. Their products are cute, and they nail their fragrances/lip balm flavors. Could definitely pass on the convoluted store experience though.

    Feedback

    Not a fan of their reformulated products! Seems like they haven't perfected the whole clean beauty thing.

  • This brand is one of my favorites for natural, minimal makeup that can be built up into more defined looks. Their products are hydrating, especially their lip products, and have great color payoff. The You perfume is perfect for layering and isn't too strong. Their eye makeup remover is gentle and hydrating, but doesn't sting your eyes. I love that they took the feedback of their balms and updated the packaging.

    Now that Glossier is in Sephora, the accessibility has skyrocketed. However, going to their stores is an experience and I would recommend it for the sales associates knowledge of product alone. Be sure to test their products because some do have scent that I found off putting, but others love.

  • I think the best Glossier product is the balm dotcom. It's great as a sleeping lip mask at night as well because it'll stay on til you wake up. I do love the minimalistic aspect of the products and Glossier really started the "no makeup makeup" trend but, imo there are better skincare options at better price points. Nothing bad per se with any of the products so, it's great if you're just getting into skincare.

  • Amazing experience in store

    Feedback

    The priming moisturizing helped clear my acne! I love these products and their packaging.

  • love the cloud paint! the boy brows are ok, but don’t help with filling in the sparse brows more to the centre of my face - but anything besides a pencil can’t seem to do the trick. not really into the priming moisturizer, it feels too thick for me.

  • Overall love these products, affordable pricing, great packaging and seamless online and in-store shopping experience.

    Feedback

    The mascara and tinted moisturizer are not very effective. The mascara is very subtle and flakes easily. The moisturizer is very very light, doesnt do much to cover up redness. Does add a bit of glow though!

  • I have bought most of their product line, and I am consistently impressed with their products. The highlights for me include the Boy Brow, Glossier You, and the Lash Slick. Boy Brow does the best job at help with fluffy brows and Lash Slick is one of the few mascaras that isn't clumpy or flaky, and gives a very natural look. Glossier You has become my signature scent, and I am continually asked about what perfume I'm wearing. It is fresh, but also has some deeper notes that make it a little more mature than just a floral scent.

    Feedback

    I wish their products were bigger! I have to continually buy Boy Brow and Lash Slick, and I wished they lasted me a little longer.
