Glossier earns mixed reviews: the brand excels at effortless “no-makeup makeup” with standouts like Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, Stretch Concealer, and the Glossier You fragrance, but several users find the skincare average and some makeup too sheer to last. Reviews praise easy, finger-friendly application, flattering shades, and iconic packaging, while noting weaknesses such as reformulations (Balm Dotcom, You), limited coverage and pigment, mascara/brow products drying quickly, packaging flaws, and scent or longevity concerns with You.

Love this brand another great brand to keep up with skincare and makeup without breaking the bank.

The product was great as always and this time I had to call customer service about something that was missing, but they attended me quick and replaced the item immediately

As others have noted, some Glossier products are great, and others are a bit more mediocre. Frankly even though some of the products are mediocre, I keep buying anyway because my brand loyalty is so high - Glossier is great at that. My favorite products are the You perfume and the skincare line (cleanser/moisturizer/sunscreen/serums/FutureDew/lip balm). I also have almost every product of the makeup line, but agree with others that the makeup products aren't all that distinctive - they're mediocre additions to my makeup collection, but my real favorite makeup products are from other brands at Sephora.
Really gorgeous makeup! Loved the little pink bag it came in, and the sleek aesthetic packaging. I bought cloud paint in "eve", which was a really nice berry shade, It makes a nice blush/lip color/eyeshadow, and gen g in "fuzz" and "leo", both brownie/pinks. They gave a very gentle matte color and didn't feel like I had slathered on a thick lipstick, also very flattering on my double lip line. Big fan of Glossier!

I only wish they were a bit less pricey, the products aren't quite worth the money, but it's a lovely splurge or gift, with a very clean, luxury feel. I would recommend waiting for sales :)
I live for glossier. I could never live without skintint or boybrow. A fan forever!

I have mixed feelings about Glossier overall. On one hand, there are a couple staples that I use almost every day, including the Glossier You perfume (I have never been a perfume wearer, but I love that this one feels pretty gender neutral, smells a bit different on each person, isn't necessarily flowery or too strong) and Haloscope. On the other hand, I know there were allegations of mistreatment and toxic work culture in the past, so I've been a bit skeptical about supporting the brand in general. I also find that the prices of some of the (smaller) products are a bit higher that what I would hope for. I also have a had a hard time with skin tone matching with products like the Stretch Concealer. The bubble wrap packaging is fun, but I always feel guilty making purchases because I know it's not particularly eco-friendly :(

I think everything this brand makes is pretty cool. I especially love the lip products. I want to say it’s over priced, but honestly it’s worth it.

Most of what they make is great quality and lasts a long time
Purchased some makeup from this brand. Cute, does what it says, reasonable price.

I purchased an eyeshadow stick, but it pretty much matched my skintone. So make sure you're sure of what color you're buying! A little blush goes a long way
I know this company is a cult favorite but I don’t get the hype. The Cloud cream blush is just OK, I found it’s very pigmented but it doesn’t blend well. The mascara falls flat within an hour. And the lipgloss is not very comfortable for long wear. It pains me to say because I really want to like Glossier, it’s top shelf pretty, at least.
My absolute faves include Boy Brow in shade Blonde, Cloud Paint in shade Puff, the Monochromes in shade Almond, and Brow Flick in shade Brown. I love using Brow Flick for my eyeliner for a more subtle look.
Feedback
I would avoid their Stretch Concealer if you have really pale skin - the palest shade was too yellow on me. Did not like Lidstar - it cracked and didn't apply well or stay. Skywash is a waste of money in my opinion as well, it was flaky and sheer when it's supposed to be matte.
obsessed with this skincare line, have the best products

I love their body care more than their skincare. Their niacinamide serum is very nice though because it’s not higher than 5% which can cause inflammation in the skin.
All three of daughters use the lip stuff. They love them.

All three of daughters use the lip stuff. They love them. A little pricey for teens to be using.
This brand is one of my top favorites! For people who want more glam or coverage, this is not the brand for you, but the minimalism of Glossier works in my lifestyle. Items I have used: *Lash Slick - my favorite mascara. Feels weightless on my sensitive eyes but still gives length *Brow Flick - perfectly fills in my brows with sharp wispy hair lines *Boy Brow - only brow definer I will ever use, I always come back to this *Cloud Paint - have tried several shades and love the versatility and blend-ability *Generation G - not a bad matte lipstick, I just don't love matte on myself, somewhat drying so maybe this is like the one thing I wouldn't repurchase *Ultralip - the perfect gloss-lipstick hybrid with semi-sheer finish... I love her *Invisible Shield - amazing sunscreen for under make up! Primer-esque, and smells like classic summer sunscreen *Glossier You - my go-to perfume... its light but kinda juicy and just feels right *Glossier Candles - You and Orange Neroli scent, they put out the best smell even without lighting The brand is just so fun to follow and the packages always come with a little fun sample and stickers. Love the marketing!
Overall absolutely adore this brand, everything I have tried I loved just a little on the side of buying just for the brand name.
I have purchased the boy brow, cloud paint, balm Dotcom, and lash slick. -I am in love with the boy brow and cloud paint, making it a staple in my makeup routine. -The lash slick was disappointing and smudged easily. -Balm Dotcom was good but not worth buying it full price. If on sale get it! -I am far from being good at makeup so glossier's minimalist and high quality products are great for me.

Do not expect "bold" heavy makeup. Glossier is known for their "natural" aesthetic.
Absolutely love the Boy Brow - have bought it multiple times now and always find the purchasing process straightforward, arrives quickly and is packaged well with a cute bag that I actually want to use and a sample. I enjoy that it's not too big so it's easy to throw in my bag to take with me for the day and doesn't dry out if I'm not using it as often.

The auburn boy brow changed my life. I use it as mascara because there are no good mascaras for redheads. Genuinely, I don't know what I'd do if it was ever discontinued. Also love their FutureDew, it's my favorite highlighter.

Make the Lash Slick in auburn <3

I love the buying experience at Glossier (in-store and online). Every year I re-fill on boy brow and cream blush. The boy brow dries up pretty easily imo but gives your brows a waxed, brushed look in the first ~20 swatches which I love.

The packaging is REALLY cute and Glossier, imo, has influenced the mainstream aesthetic drastically over the last couple years. The products used to come in these pink bubble wrap-esque travel bags, which were really cute, but they stopped doing that. However, the packaging is still really cute and minimalist.
Feedback
The products are usually pretty hit or miss for me. I understand the idea of "barely-there makeup", but some of the products weren't that great. For example, I think the balm dot com has an almost cult-like following, but I bought the cherry one and was recently gifted the swiss miss one and both of them felt like thicker, sticker, glorified vaseline. The color looked quite potent coming out of the tube but did not have much of an effect once it was on my lips. Additionally, the generation G lipstick didn't glide on my lips at all, but that rough/chalky feel gave that "barely there" effect since there was not much product transfer. However, I have to say, the skincare and serums are the BEST and made my skin feel amazing. I recommend the vitamin C superglow serum!
I was super into Glossier when they first launched, but over time I became less impressed with the products. They seem to pour more money into marketing and branding than they do into the actual products. I have grown more into clean beauty over the years, and have since stopped buying Glossier products as I am not impressed by the ingredients list. This was most obvious to me when I purchased the You Fragrance and immediately felt sick and got a headache from the scent. They are mediocre products with too much hype.
